How to make a classic pepperoni pizza with cupping pepperoni (#ronicups). The pizza parlor staple and fan favorite for good reason. This is a delicious pizza! A sea of roni cups is a sea of pizza dreams as far as I'm concerned. All baked up on a sourdough crust and fired in the Ooni Koda 16.If you enjoyed please subscribe to the Santa Barbara Baker YouTube Channel and share with your pizza friends and fam. Thank you and much love to all that have! One Love!
110gCheese BlendShredded; I like a mix of full-fat low moisture mozzarella mixed with another good melting cheese such as Havarti along with some Parm.
Preheat your Ooni Koda 16 for at least 30 minutes, I like to heat the center of the oven deck to around 800-850f before loading this style of pizza. Before loading turn the control knob clockwise past the "lightning bolt" symbol to utilize the lower temperature range for the bake (see video for full explanation).
Begin building the pizza by applying 3oz (you just want a thin slick) of tomato sauce (I use a ladle, but a spoon will do!) to the stretched dough. Apply oregano generously. Top with cheese blend working from the crust in, you just want a light covering to ensure that classic molten speckled look.
From the crust in top with sliced pepperoni. You want to go big, in the video I end up with almost 50 slices on the pizza.
Bake in your Ooni pizza oven till fully baked and nicely colored (I aim for a 4-6 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 on a paper late or reheat and re-crisp individual slices in your Ooni with the temperature all the way down for the classic slice shop vibe.
