Ingredients

Instructions

  • Watch the video for the full how to!
  • Preheat your Ooni Koda 16 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. Sprinkle with oregano.
  • Top with sliced garlic and shallots or onion
  • From the crust in add the cheese blend. I like to go light on the cheese for this style.
  • 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. Slice into 4 large slices, serve immediately. I serve my pizza on this 14" Wooden Pizza Peel.

Notes

In the Classic Mushroom 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.

Smoked Sausage, Tomato, & Basil Pizza Recipe & How To| The Spicy Summer Smoke

Summer vibes are still at full blaze on this smoked sausage, fresh cherry tomato, and basil pizza.

Living in Santa Barbara one of my favorite outdoor cooking activities is Santa Maria Style BBQ. Most well known for tri-tip cooked over an open red oak fired pit this BBQ style can also include sausage, typically in the form of fresh linguiça. For this pie the spicy smoky sausage gets the pizza treatment. Sweet and fresh the cherry tomatoes balance out the heat along with the creamy fresh mozz.

This is an easy and delicious summer pizza best enjoyed outside under some oak trees. I wouldn’t be complaining if this was served along with the traditional Santa Maria BBQ spread because pizza is, in fact, a lifestyle.

Vegan Summer Pizza | Summer Squash & Pistachio Pizza Recipe

Vegan Summer Pizza | Summer Squash & Pistachio Pizza Recipe

When the summer garden is overflowing it’s time to put those veggies front and center. I cover this vegan summer pizza in thinly sliced squash, going big. I find when you lay the squash or zucchini on heavy like this (but thinly sliced on a mandoline!) not only does it make for a beautiful pie but the texture of the bite is something almost cheese like but 100% fresh summer veg vibes in flavor.

I brighten things up even more with a mixture of chopped pistachios, lemon zest, and thyme. Fatty but beaming with flavor this mixtures makes sure things stay interesting. Finished off with fresh herbs and a drizzle of pistachio oil it’s a firemost summer pizza vegan or not!

Hope you enjoy! Check out on the the full build & bake in the Ooni Koda 16 on the Santa Barbara Baker YouTube Channel. One love!
