Ingredients

4x250g dough balls (Ooni’s Sourdough Doughballs can be purchased via its website)

40g mozzarella, torn into small pieces

40g ricotta

Handful fresh sage leaves

Chilli flakes

Olive oil

Method

  1. Make sure to prepare your dough ahead of time to ensure it rises at room temperature before firing up your oven.

  2. Fire up your Ooni pizza oven. Aim for 500˚C on the stone baking board inside. You can check the temperature inside your oven quickly and easily using an Infrared Thermometer.

  3. Using a small amount of flour, dust your pizza peel. Stretch the pizza dough ball out to 12” and lay it out on your pizza peel. Top with the mozzarella, squash, and sage leaves.

  4. Slide the pizza off the peel and into your Ooni pizza oven, making sure to rotate the pizza regularly.

  5. Once cooked, remove the pizza from the oven. Finish with a spoonful of the ricotta, a sprinkle of chilli flakes to taste and a drizzle of olive oil. Serve straight away.
