Simple, straightforward and foolproof, this classic dough recipe is our go-to when it comes to making pizza. With instructions on how to mix, knead, form and cook, this guide walks you through every step of making a cheese pizza in your home oven with an Ooni Pizza Steel 13.
One hallmark of our classic dough is the speed at which it comes together. Ready to cook in just 4 hours, it’s a great recipe for those days when you decide at lunchtime that you want pizza that night. While using a stand mixer to knead your dough will keep things hands-off and easy, kneading by hand isn’t a strenuous process and only takes a few extra minutes.
We baked our pizzas on the Ooni Pizza Steel 13 in a conventional oven. After just thirty minutes of preheating time, the Steel is piping hot and ready to cook, and in only 5 to 6 minutes, you’ll have a pizza with a crisp yet chewy base that’s covered in bubbly, melty cheese.
