Budget pizza oven

[Jamiedh]

We have a gas Ooni Koda 12 that we sometimes chuck in the trailer. Reckon I’ve made a hundred pizzas now without an issue. Still performs perfectly.

Can even confirm it works at high altitude

and the sauce


for 4x 300g
714g Matthews Cotswold Strong flour (if you have no local mill with flour >12g protein)
0.5g yeats (active dry)
464g water
20g sea salt

2h at room temperature, than 3 days in the fridge, ouot of the fridge at least 3h before you make pizza

Easy to work dough, if you have a bit more experience go with
694g flour to 486g water

Quick and easy with Mutti sauce (if you don´t cook your own) and ooni sliced pepperoni.

I’ve nailed the sauce. A friend has an allotment and we get loads of tomatoes off him. I very gently sauté plenty of garlic in a generous slug of olive oil, a pinch of dried chilli flakes and then chuck in the toms. Cook it all down very slowly over 2 or 3 hours, then put it through a sieve. I vac bag it into portions and freeze it.
Re. Dough. I’ve tried the quick 6hr dough and the 48hr method, always with good flour, I’ve tried strong bread flour, Italian OO pizza flour etc. the quick method has had the best results. Each time I try the 48hr method, I end up with a lifeless paste texture that doesn’t rise & is heavy when cooked.

Frozen pizza.....stick some extra toppings on if you like, 9 mins in air fryer. Done. Life's too short.......

Not a bad shout tbh. The AF version isn’t bad either, but I prefer Proper Job.

Watched it today, I’ve tried the poolish method before, maybe time to revisit it. Thanks for posting the video.

Wifey swears by this flour.. sometimes the blue packaged one...

Thanks everyone for the advice, it sounded a good idea in my head - but being honest it’s more complicated than I ever thought (never thought dough was important and an art) -all credit to you that you can do it well

Idea was for daughter to buy me a simple birthday present - then use on next trip out (first trip with daughter and her young family).

They are in a tent - I suspect I will end up there and ‘they’ will be in the van .

Planned New Forest (NF) but NF have said ‘no wood burning / cooking ’ including pizza ovens - so defeats part of the objective.

Anyway thank you everyone for the input. I did not realise pizza making is more rocket science than…. Er rocket science!

You can fit a 112" pizza in an air fryer?

Edit due to typo - meant 12" pizza. Need to proof read lol.
