Assorted Woodfire Pizzas Recipe

Activate Yeast

In a bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Mix well.

Combine Ingredients

Once the yeast mixture is frothy, add it to the flour mixture along with the olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.

Knead the Dough

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Let Dough Rise

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Preheat the Woodfire Oven

Preheat your woodfire oven to a temperature of around 700°F (370°C) for at least 30 minutes.

Divide the Dough

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 4 equal portions for individual pizzas.

Shape the Pizzas

On a floured surface, stretch each portion of dough into a round shape, about 10-12 inches in diameter.

Add Sauce and Toppings

Spread about 1/4 cup of tomato sauce on each pizza base, then sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese and your choice of toppings (pepperoni, bell peppers, red onion, etc.).

Brush with Olive Oil

Lightly brush the edges of the pizza crust with olive oil for added flavor and a golden finish.

Bake the Pizzas

Carefully place the pizzas in the woodfire oven. Bake for 8-12 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

Garnish and Serve

Remove the pizzas from the oven, garnish with fresh basil leaves, slice, and serve hot.
