OT: First couple cooks with new Ooni

edited January 2021 in Off Topic
So I got an Ooni pizza oven for Christmas and have been playing around with different dough recipes and techniques. What I’ve arrived on so far is a recipe for a 65% hydration dough with an overnight preferment “biga” technique. Definitely some nuances to cooking with the Ooni that I’m still figuring out, but it’s been fun (and delicious) so far. Here are some of the pies that I’ve made

    Hey man that’s a sweet peel. I really like the Ooni so far I think you’ll enjoy it. When you do get your set up and start cooking with it, one tip I learned is to launch the pie with the burner turned all the way up but then to turn it down a bit so you don’t scorch the top the pizza. It’s definitely a fine line between burning the pizza and getting the right amount of char and easy to over shoot.

    A few folks here have Ooni's. Which model Ooni oven did you get?

    Also, I suggest posting any pizza threads in either the main forum section or the baking section. Due to the current forum setup any threads posted in the "off topic" section do not show up on the main page so they aren't going to be seen by as large an audience.

    Think I have the Ooni Coda 16. Is there a way to move this to the main forum section?
