Ingredients

  • 1 Roasted Red Pepper Sliced into strips. Pro Tip: You can roast your pepper in your Ooni pizza oven as it heats.
  • 1/4 cup Cashews Roughly chopped.
  • 1/4 cup Sungold Tomatoes or cherry tomatoes.
  • 1/4 cup Sliced Red Onion
  • 1 clove Garlic Thinly sliced.
  • Olives Pitted and sliced. I use Kalamata.
  • Fresh Basil A few leaves to finish.
  • 1 tsp Oregano I like Calabrian oregano.
  • 100 g Fresh Mozzarella (approximate)
  • 1/4 cup Feta Cheese
  • Olive Oil For building and finishing the pizza.
  • 1 ball Pizza Dough A naturally fermented (sourdough) recipe & guide.

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.
  • Drizzle or brush about 1 tbsp olive oil on to the stretched dough.
  • Top with sliced garlic and cashews.
  • From the crust in begin adding mozzarella, breaking into chunks about the size of a large marble. Top with feta cheese.
  • Top generously with roasted red pepper followed by the red onion and olives.
  • Season with oregano, salt, and pepper. 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 sungold tomatoes, fresh basil and a drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Slice into 6 slices, serve immediately. I serve my pizza on this 14" Wooden Pizza Peel.

Notes

In the Roasted Red Pepper & Cashew 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.
