An Ooni Ambassador's Favorite Ooni Oven

Friends, hello. The format of this video is a little different than most of my videos. Where to begin?

First: I wrote a cookbook, Pizza Night, which will be published next April. In sum, Pizza Night​ includes 52 pizza and 52 salad recipes, one combination for every week of the year, as well as five simple desserts. It's organized seasonally and includes recipes for the home oven, outdoor oven, the grill, Sicilian-style, Detroit-style, grandma-style, skillet pizzas, and more.

I learned so much working on this project — about the relationship between dough hydration and oven temperature, about why your dough performs better after it spends a few days in the fridge, about the benefits of parbaking pan pizzas — and I can't wait to share it all with you… in April!

In the meantime, I’ve started a pizza substack 🍕🍕🍕 It’s called Pizza Every Friday, and the first newsletter dropped today 🎉🎉 You can sign up here: https://pizzaeveryfriday.substack.com/

In this first post, I share this video, during which my friend Christy Alia (@realcleverfood on Instagam) and I bake four pizzas from Pizza Night in her favorite Ooni oven: the Koda 16.
