Ingredients

The Poolish

Final Dough Mix

Instructions

Mixing the Poolish (Pre-Ferment) – 12-24 Hours Before Final Dough Mix

Final Dough Mix – At least 8 hours before Pizza Time! A 24 hour or more cold ferment in the fridge is recommended for best results.

  • Watch the Video for the Full How To!
  • Weigh 350 g room temperature water in a 1 quart measuring cup. Add 1.5 g instant dry yeast. Let absorb for about 1 minute. Stir.
  • Pour water and yeast mixture into the 1-quart deli container or small bowl containing the poolish. Mix with your hand till well incorporated.
  • In a large bowl mix 350g bread flour, 250g "00" flour, and 20g whole grain flours.
  • Add the water and starter mixture to the flour and stir just till flour is incorporated. Cover and let rest for 25 minutes at room temperature.
  • Mix 20g salt, 30g water, and 1g barley malt (optional) in a small bowl (it will not fully dissolve)
  • Begin folding and kneading the dough, working in the salt slurry small amounts at a time till fully incorporated, be patient. This should take 5-10 minutes. Cover the bowl tightly and let rest for 25 minutes. Watch the final dough mix video for the full how to.
  • Gradually knead and fold 10g olive oil into the dough until fully incorporated and smooth. This should take about 5 minutes.
  • Re-weigh your dough to get your final dough ball weight for each pizza.
  • Cover tightly. Let bulk ferment at room temperature for about 2 hours till lively. (dough activity can vary greatly depending on your environment. In warmer temperatures keep an eye on it and go shorter about 1 hour, in cold temps this could take up to 4 hours)

Forming the Dough Balls & Final Fermentation (1 – 4 hrs after final stage of dough mix)

  • After 1 to 4 hours uncover your dough (you want to see activity in the dough before proceeding but you can adjust your fermentation times between the bulk and ball ferments, if you went short on the bulk, go longer once the dough is balled up before it hits the fridge)
  • Lightly dust a work surface with flour. With floured hands remove the dough from the bowl.
  • Lightly dust the top of the dough with flour.
  • Using a scale as you go. Divide the dough into 4 portions. I use a bench scrapper to cut the dough.
  • Working with the dough in your hands form into balls, making sure to close. Watch the video for full instructions.
  • Cover tightly. Let ferment at room temperature at least till you see activity in the dough (2-4 hours) before cold fermentation or continue fermenting at room temperature if using that day till ready to use (refrigerate dough balls if they look to be headed towards ''overproofed.")

Tempering the Dough (About 90 Minutes before baking pizzas if dough has been cold fermented)

  • Temper the dough by removing from the refrigerator and allowing to come to room temperature before using.

Ingredients

  • 1 Small Delicata Squash Halved, seeds removed, sliced to 1/4 in thickness.
  • 2 Large Brown Onions Sliced,1/4 in thickness.
  • 1/4 cup Walnuts Roughly chopped.

  • Olive Oil
  • Pizza Dough A naturally fermented (sourdough) recipe & guide. Using store bought dough? Check out my vid on How to Make Store Bought Dough Awesome!

Instructions

Caramelized Onions

  • Heat a heavy bottom pot over medium high heat. Add 1-2 tbsp avocado or canola oil.
  • Add onions to pot, Stir to coat in oil. Once the onions have begun to sweat, lower heat and cool till golden brown stirring often. About 1 hour.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper. I like to add a dash of soy sauce and a dash of Worcestershire Sauce (optional).

Roasted Delicata Squash

  • Preheat oven to 375f. Line a baking sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • Add squash slices to a small bowl, lightly coat in olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Arrange on baking sheet with room between slices.
  • Roast till just softened (easily pierced with a fork). Do not overcook, the squash will roast more on the pizza. About 10 minutes.

Pizza

  • Top with caramelized onions followed by the delicata squash. Add sliced jalapeños. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

  • Let the crust set on a wire rack for a least 20 seconds. Top with minced chives. Slice, serve immediately. I serve my pizza on this 14" Wooden Pizza Peel.

Notes

In the Winter Squash and Caramelized Onion Pizza Video I’m using the 14″ Pizza Peel from Ooni to load the pizzas and this 12″ Perforated Peel is currently being used as my turning peel. I always let my pizzas rest for a short while to ensure the crust doesn’t get soggy, they kick it on this half sheet pan rack set. I use this pizza cutter. I serve my pizza on this 14″ Wooden Pizza Peel.

Pizza sauce shouldn’t be complicated. Source the best tomatoes you can find and treat them very simply. The tomatoes should be the star; bright, fresh, and just the right balance of acidity. It’s a beautiful thing that something so simple can taste so delicious.

I like to use this sauce as the base for all my red sauce pizzas. I add additional flavors to the sauce such as dried oregano, garlic, and onions directly on the pizza. This method allows you to create a variety of pizza styles with one batch of sauce. Perfect for a pizza party with your Ooni Pizza Oven.
