First try of my new Ooni Karu 16, big step up from my Karu 12!

Looks great, great work. I was glad I went for the larger one from the start. Even if it did mean a good while of waiting and trying to decide.
That is a fantastic looking pizza fella.

Thanks! I'm impressed with the oven so far, probably should have gone straight for the 16 but I didn't know how much I'd use it.

White pizza with zucchini, cepes, guinciale, mozzarella and parmesan.

Beautiful as always! Was this wood or electric?

Dough mix and prove ????
Pizza Jedi in action.....
I will join the gang eventually!

Wow that guy is good with the dough balls. Dough looks rather low hydration with very solid gluten structure.
This is Sicilian pizza, hardly any rise in the dough and must be lot lower oven temperature considering how long the bakes last. I assume these are slightly crispy.
Some tasty recipes, I like the pesto/ricotta base with salsiccia.

Cooking on foil?
That is a bannable offence, no exception.
There are plenty of YouTube videos about how to handle high hydration doughs. It's not difficult once you manage the technique.

Tonight I tried some pizzas made with some fast action dried yeast and what I've been using all the time, Allison's easy bake yeast. I also increased the hydration to 63%.
The 3 with the fast action yeast were bigger and flatter after 24hour proof than the other 3 with the Allison's.
The first fast action one I tried stuck to the peel and made a right mess of the ooni. Second and third I used more flour and salmonella. They turned out great and the crust was way more fluffy.
Tried another with the old yeast but again that messed up in the ooni. Ran out of tomato sauce after that.
Although I liked the two that came out ok trying to work with it was hard. Hardly had to stretch it it was so soft. If I had picked it up it would of ripped.
How you do 70% is beyond me.
Watching that vid how the hell does he handle that dough with no flour!?!!?! Also 5g of yeast and no flour or semolina on the peel!?!!

It's just a little experience.
How did you like the salmonella?

Is working it on marble easier? I don't know how his hands are not covered in the dough. Does he have olive oil on his hands?
Like I say why the 5g of yeast? Pizza app for me says about 0.12g
it does make it easy when you want the kids to top their own pizzas, make all the bases put them on foil next to toppings and let them have at it.... I should stop now before the ban becomes lifetime ?
Will watch the video, thanks for sharing.

I made 5 pizzas at lunch in 15 minutes. Not bad, but hat guy in the video is probably about 3x faster than me. I did my own cooking though!
Calzone, with salsiccia, ricotta, mozzarella.

A good few months away from pizzas.
Done better, done much worse, so happy with the results.
The you go Paul!

Lovely once again.
I love my mini, prosciutto and egg.

Still yet to make a calzone. Keep forgetting.

I've no business being in this thread advising as A I'm using a kitchen oven in an apartment and B my dough is no way anywhere near as good as what people like Raffe and co are demonstrating.
However (and I'm sure Italians globally will curse me for the flavour abomination) I made pizzas today with the following topping set and I've not had better - they were epic
Home made pizza sauce
Sprinkle on fennel seeds
Sprinkle on dried mixed herbs (supermarket variety is fine as long as Oregano is in there)
Sprinkle on chilli flakes
Then chopped onion
Then black olives
Then torn Napoli salami
Then Nduja paste
Then pickled Jalapeńos
Then Mozzarella
Into oven. When cooked take out and;
Then black pepper
Then grate parmigiano onto it so it melts onto the still hot pizza
Then cut into slices
Then a generous handful of rocket leaves
Then Sprinkle rock salt onto rocket
Then drizzle EV Olive Oil onto rocket
Then eat
Yep way too many flavours there but by gosh it tasted amazing!
Picks?

Everyone knows San Marzano tomatoes grown on the slopes of Vesuvius are the best.
This guy spends 23 minutes testing all the other type of plum shaped tomatoes to tell us if we're right or wrong.
I was in Aldi (or Lidl, can't remember which) over the weekend, and they were selling 'San Marzano' tomatoes that were British grown, and the variety wasn't San Marzano.
