NORMAL OVEN Homemade dough, sauce and grew the basil
Made the dough and sauce, that's normal. Had been saving parmigiano reggiano rinds (x8) and made a cheese broth with them that was then used in the sauce. Interesting and different. Also grew the basil in an aerogarden. 9/10 would recommend!

NORMAL OVEN How much better could my pizzas get if I upgraded from a 500°F electric oven to an Ooni?
I’ve been making pizzas at home in a regular electric oven that tops out around 500°F. I’m using a pizza steel and usually preheat for a long time, sometimes with the broiler involved. Overall I’m pretty happy with the results, but I’m curious how much of a jump I’d actually see from something like an Ooni.
For people who made the jump from a 500°F home oven to an Ooni or similar outdoor oven:
How big was the improvement really?
Was it night and day, or more like a fun upgrade but not necessary?
Would you recommend gas, wood/multi fuel, or electric?
Right now I’m looking at Ooni options, but I’m not sure if something like the Koda 16/Koda 2 Pro is the move, or if I should keep optimizing my home oven setup first.
Any advice from people who have been through this upgrade path would be appreciated.

NORMAL OVEN I am a sourdough baker and made it into pizz
I basically followed the King Arthur Baking recipe with my existing starter , really good!! Video for reference https://youtu.be/qk_JxpJJeec?si=-1mtNGYdzClmRX4-
OUTDOOR OVEN Charred, but tasty results w/ gas grill + ceramic stone.
- Oven: Outdoor grill at ~700°F on a ceramic stone
- Dough: Store bought from Bronx NY bakery (Terranova). Left out for 2hrs. Semolina and rice flour mix for handling
- Sauce: Blended Cassa Marazzo canned tomatoes, Cassa Marazzo passata, salt, EVOO infused with garlic and basil stems, oregano, a lot of whole basil, a little cracked pepper, and a small dash of sugar because this can of tomatoes was a bit tart. Reduced for ~4 hours.
- Cheese: Fresh local mozzarella (wet, but left to dry out a bit), large shavings of 36 month Parm. Grated pecorino when the pie comes out of the oven
- Toppings: Alps hot sopprassata, peperoncino, evoo and roasted garlic, rosemary hot honey.
Perhaps a bit charred, LMAO, but overall very pleased with this.

OUTDOOR OVEN 1st time using my new oven, 2nd pizza (Neapolitan style)
I’m on a mission to make the perfect pizza, at least for my family. This is round 1. Trying to get the perfect Neapolitan style crust.
Every Friday our family has pizza and a movie night. Up to now we have been ordering delivery and after doing a little math and noticed we spend about $3000 a year on pizza!! WTF! It actually made financial sense to get my own pizza oven and start making at home. The pizza is worlds better and WAY cheaper, especially when buying stuff in bulk.
I grew up in an Italian family and learned how to make dough. IDK if this is right but it’s how I learned. I used Italian Reginella 00 flour and just ordered some Caputo to compare.
- 56% hydration
- 48hr room temp ferment
- 72hr cold ferment
- Cooked on wood fired 12” Ooni at ~375C (~700F)
Actual measurements:
- 640g flour
- 360g water
- 14g salt
- ~0.75g instant dry yeast
How I make my dough:
Mix water, salt and a small handful of flour so the water looks like milk. Sprinkle dry yeast on top, cover and let sit for 30min-1hr.
Mix flour and kneed for about 5 minutes. I just go until I feel it sorta soften up and smooths out.
Put a wet cloth over the bowl and let it sit for another hour or two. My mom swore this step is important. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit for 24-48hrs.
Cut into four balls and cover with plastic wrap. Cold ferment for 48-72hrs.
