Ingredients

    • 4 pizza dough balls (about 250g each)
    • Flour or semolina for dusting

Bruschetta Pizza:

    • Olive oil
    • Diced tomatoes
    • Minced garlic
    • Fresh basil, chopped
    • Mozzarella Fresca, torn
    • Flaky salt (optional)
    • Balsamic glaze (optional)

Capricciosa-Inspired Veggie Pizza:

    • Tomato sauce
    • Shredded mozzarella
    • Mushrooms, thinly sliced
    • Olive oil for brushing crust (optional)

Hot Honey Feta Soppressata Pizza:

    • Tomato sauce
    • Shredded mozzarella
    • Soppressata slices
    • Red onion, thinly sliced
    • Feta cheese, crumbled (added after baking)
    • Hot honey

Dessert Pizza:

  • Nutella
  • Bananas, sliced
  • Peanuts, crushed or whole

Instructions

  1. Preheat Ooni oven to 750–850°F (400–450°C), about 20–30 minutes.
  2. Stretch each dough ball into a 10–12 inch circle on a floured surface. Dust pizza peel generously with flour or semolina.
  3. Bruschetta Pizza: Brush dough with olive oil and bake plain. After baking, top with tomatoes, garlic, basil, and mozzarella. Optional: sprinkle flaky salt and drizzle balsamic glaze.
  4. Capricciosa Veggie Pizza: Spread tomato sauce, then top with mozzarella and mushrooms. Bake until crust is golden.
  5. Hot Honey Soppressata Pizza: Spread sauce, then layer mozzarella, soppressata, and red onion. Bake, then top with crumbled feta and drizzle hot honey.
  6. Dessert Pizza: Bake dough plain, then spread Nutella and top with banana slices and peanuts.
  7. Turn the flame to lowest setting before launching pizzas to prevent burning. Rotate every 20 seconds for even cooking (total bake: 60–90 seconds per pizza).
  8. Slice and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Swap mozzarella for smoked provolone or other cheeses for new flavors.
  • Add arugula and chili oil after baking for a bold finish.
  • Make vegetarian by replacing soppressata with roasted peppers or olives.
  • For dessert, try strawberries and white chocolate instead of bananas and peanuts.
  • Reheat leftovers in a skillet or 425°F oven for best texture.
