    Cheaper ones out but the quality of Clementi is amazing plus the wizzy air system

    Hopefully fire it up at the weekend
    Same size as my Pizza Party, which is still sleeping underneath the outer staircase. Suppose I cannot buy wood at the moment, neither to build a stand nor to burn a fire. So it will be another couple of weeks until I can take it into production.

    Have fund with yours and don't forget the pics.

    Have just got myself onto the bandwagon. Ooni Koda ordered today. An amateur here. Never done this before. All a bit daunting. Hoping to contribute with some lame attempts soon!!

    No 00 flour in the shops. So having to settle for regular flour. Regular tomato sauce. Let's see what happens in next few days.

    Great thread.

    Welcome aboard buddy and enjoy.

    Look online at A di Maria, you should be able to pick some Caputo there for home delivery. Look back a page at my order.

    Regarding sauce this was down to 90p a tin and is pretty damn good.

    https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-G...ucts/283713806

    Tinned toms will be fine, bliz them and cook down on the hob and season.

    Ive balled a batch up tonight which will of had a 25 hour fermentation, will get cracking in a couple of hours.

    Home made pizza tonight in usual oven with pizza steel. I didnt have any of the usual pizza sauce but used passata instead but which did the trick but was somewhat watery.

    I use the recipe from BBC food but think I need to up my pizza skills.

    Thanks for reply. Been searching online everywhere but nobody has stock. Your recommendation seemed to have a 25kg bag. Added it and few others bits. Then realised they are not taking orders!!

    Think I will start Monday with a basic RT dough which I will follow recipe on Ooni website. As stock comes back in hopefully can up my pizza game.

    For now it is plain flour, yeast sachets. Plum tomatoes which will go on hob...lets see what disaster awaits!!

    Looking forward to it. If it wasn't for this thread don't think I would ever have moved away from the frozen dr oetkers.

    Im looking to bulk buy some wood. Ive bought from amazon in the past but ends up costing a lot by the bag, I think by the pallet and a wood store is the way forward.

    Been bored this morning so have unpacked the Pizza Party oven. Even found some blocks of firewood in the garage, so burning it in as we speak. On Wednesday I will get a delivery of a palette of oak wood, better prepare a dough then.

    My efforts today with the ooni were truly a shambles. After the first two attempts resorted to sticking the others in the Neff...

    The dough felt too sticky to slide off into the ooni. That was the main issue. Then when in the ooni just disintegrated in there and would not move. Stone looks an absolute mess on day one!

    I will persevere and amend tactics... Was very close to throwing the damn ooni in the bin!

    Fire your oven up and the stone will be clean within 20 minutes.

    Next time you do a couple of 'stretch and folds' with your dough and you'll find it a treat to work with.

    Thank you. Will take that advice and give the stretch and fold a go next time...next time may be a long time away...need to rebuild my confidence. Ha.

    Took the stone out to wash in the end... I heated it and the remnants caused a fire in the oven...long day!!

    I note Pitch adds oil to the sandwich bags. I may try the Pitch dough method next time. Do you also add oil Raffe?

    Another question, if using a mixer, do you add all the water in one go?

    I think I need to start an amateur pizza thread. Causing unnecessary traffic on this thread!

    Never any oil in the pizza dough.

    You can easily go to 75% hydration with standard 00 pizza flour if you use the s&f technique, it makes for delicious 'canotto' pizza. In the end, it doesn't matter how you pour the water, I put it in in one go. And I never knead my dough, I mix it by hand with a wooden spoon and then do four or five s&f and it's ready to go. I usually do 68% hydration with Caputo blue (for up to 24h maturation) or Caputo cuoco.

    Just keep trying, if it was too easy anyone could do it. Takes a little practice in the beginning, but it's worth it!

    Raffe is right and I have moved on, just Caputo blue flour (game changer) fresh yeast, salt and water.

    This what I am doing with 18 hour room temp bulk prove then 6 hour room temp balled.

    Are you using the unni metal peel to launch the pizza? These can often be sticky either lift an edge of the base and blow under it a couple of times just before launching into the oven or swap over to a wooden peel.

    Also make sure the oven is well up to temperature before cooking the pizza

    Adding to my purchase delay by now adding a Rokboxx into the mix vs a Koda 16, am still erring towards the Koda but given the price it seems prudent to carry on the research.

    Why cant I just buy something vs research and then something new comes along & have to start again / move price points!

    My OH is actively encouraging it, we normally eat out 2-3 times a week & our local takeaways are limited to curry, pizza or kebab, so invest our eating out spend into the pizza oven

    I've got a roccbox and I really like it. Its very solid and portable ish, (well it weighs about 25kg so yes you can bring it from the garage to the house but I wouldn't want to carry it to the beach!). I've only used it on gas as it works well and when I use it I tend not to have the time to mess about or for it to take ages to heat up. I will try the wood burner at some point mind.
    The claims are a bit optimistic as it takes a good 30 mins to get to 400 degrees from cold. Once hot it stays hot, I cook 2 or 3 and then turn it right down to eat and coe back maybe 20/30 mins later and its fine. Occasionally I switch it off and it then takes about 10 mins to get back up to cooking temp after up to an hour off.
    Results are great on the whole and the limit is me not the oven. Sticking bases on launch are the biggest issue so the balance between enough flour on the peel for it not to stcik but not get that burnt flour taste on the bottom is quite hard. I'm tempted by a wooden launch peel but can't help feleing it's going to get a bit charred!
    I use this dough recipe from the pizza forum and it seems to work pretty well, if a little longwionded as you make it 48 hrs ahead of time, so Thurs for a Sat meal.

    Anyway there are 5 bases in balls for tonight so looking forward to that.
    David

    ETA there are loads of receipes on gozneys site for things other than pizza. <ade donuts which were pretty good as well as meatball marinara which again work well. These are both pizza dough based receipes mind.

    Further to the advice above I gave it all another go today for a cook tomorrow.

    Again no 00 flour anywhere. But did manage to get some Pasta flour. Which perhaps is nearest thing I can find for now. It was so much easier to pull together. Felt so different to bog standard plain flour.

    Now leaving to rise for 18 hours. Noticing some condensation inside the cling. Guessing that is normal. I went with 1kg flour. 600ml water.

    Will leave at room temp for 18 hours and then ball and leave for a further 6 hours. Was tempted to put in fridge for 18 hours, nit quite sure what it would achieve. Maybe next time!

    Tonight's offering. Best yet but need the base to be thinner but hopefully that'll come with time and confidence. Also need to wait a little longer to make sure the ooni is up to temp. Meaty pizza this time with a go at a garlic bread. One thing is I'll not use passata next time as I find it too watery but I was pushed for time.

    Did 3 hr room temp, overnight in fridge, 5hr room temp and then balled them for another 3 hr

    Nothing wrong with those, looking fab buddy.

    Still the Neff for me so not ideal. Pizzeria is coming on well outside but need to track some flue down for the Clementi.

    Anyway, here goes.

    Thanks chaps. Some great looking efforts on here. I'm liking the look of your pesto pizza though raffe. How do you gets yours to rise so much in an oven pitch? Do you alter the dough recipe?

    I used this recipe. Recommends 2g per 500g flour. I used 1kg flour so should have used 4g of the instant yeast.

    Any recommendations to recover this? I feel I may have over kneaded it too. Due to ball it up in the next hour or so...

    Hi, that was my first attempt with the Caputo Saccorosse flour. Lovely stuff, extreme gluten. I used a 70% hydration and it was really really thin, took a number of s&f in order to be able to handle it. In the end, it's so light and fluffy, really something else. Nest time I will go down to mid-60s for hydration and will add some 10% of spelt flour in order to beef up the taste (have done that a few times already and it is great, just finding myself out of spelt at the moment).

    It's pretty bog-standard Pizza App+, this was 578g flour, 405g water, 17g salt and 0.15g dry yeast for a 20h fermentation. Have to say I don't really like Pizza App+ anymore, too many coding mistakes in the app which will lead to wrong readings (too high) for yeast. Looking for an alternative.

    Any recommendations to recover this? I feel I may have over kneaded it too. Due to ball it up in the next hour or so...

    Never use the Ooni recipe, it's crap. Use Pizza App+ or one of the recommendations on https://www.pizzamaking.com/forum.

    Bit late now if youre due to ball it up, if you find yourself in that situation again Id knock it back 2-3 hours before youre due to ball it up.

    That said I find the pizzapp fine for generating quantities for my dough Id give it a try if I were you.

    Thanks for the info. I didn't realise there was issues with the pizzapp. I know ooni have there own app, I wonder if this is better?

    I could knock back now and then ball it later I suppose?
