Ingredients

Instructions

  • Watch the video for the full how to!
  • Preheat your Ooni Pizza Oven for at least 30 minutes, I like to heat the center of the oven deck to around 850f before loading this style of pizza.
  • Begin building the pizza by applying 2-3oz (you just want a thin slick) of tomato sauce (I use a ladle) to the stretched dough.
  • Add a generous amount of whole basil leaves
  • Top with fresh mozzarella. You can tear the mozzarella into marble sized chunks directly onto the pizza or cube or cut into strips ahead of time.
  • Drizzle with olive oil.
  • Bake in your Ooni pizza oven till fully baked and nicely colored (I aim for a 3-4 minute bake for a more crispy bottom) Watch the video for the real time bake!
  • Let the crust set on a wire rack for a least 20 seconds. Top with additional fresh basil if desired. Slice, serve immediately. I serve my pizza on this 14" Wooden Pizza Peel.
