Pizza Ovens
The Ooni Koda 16 is a super pizza oven for those starting their pizza cooking journey!
I used pre-sauteed mushrooms in garlic and added them to the tasty steak that had been cooked the day before. Ā I used 60% hydration pizza dough, topped with buffalo mozzarella.
The Ooni Koda 16 is a super easy oven use. Ā It’s so nice to use that I’ve a set process that guarantees a fast pizza cook every time. Ā This is what I do:
- Pre-heat the oven on full flame until the heat has deeply penetrated the stone.
- The heat on the stone ideally should go over 420c in the centre.
- Once the heat on the stone reaches between 430c and 450c in the centre of the pizza stone your pizza is ready to be cooked.
- I keep the flame on full for the pizza cook and in-between cooks so it’s always ready for the next pizza. Ā It takes me about 5 minutes to prepare a pizza.
keep the dial on full flame for a fast pizza cook
I never need to turn the flame size up or down on the dial. Ā With the flame on full, the oven is always at the right temperature and that’s why this pizza oven is so easy to use.
