Just flour ,sea salt,yeast and water with a 42hr bulk proof and 6hr balled room temp proof ,the dough was 60% hydration so it had a nice crispy base.

I find 260g each is good with a 24 hour proof. Download the ooni app for the dough calculator

Lads/ ladies, I'm getting rid of an old gas barbecue, if the top lid and grill was removed and replaced with wood it would make a fine Ooni pizza table.
I was going to do it, but have been told that I will be using a folding table instead.
I put it up at 40 on Adverts but will be free to anyone on here. There is a rack underneath for storing a gas bottle, and the shelves on the side fold down.
I'm in North Kildare if anyone wants it, I'll put it in the skip on Sunday evening if no-one wants it.
I'll stick the link up shortly, but it's on Adverts if someone is browsing.

Anyone notice their koda 16 doesn't completely discharge the gas cannister?

I threw together a quick overview of the work below, with photos etc. I realised when typing it up that my woodwork terminology was shocking, so feel free to ask if you want any clarification on anything! I wish I took more pics as I was working through it now in hindsight, they would have been useful.

Just after getting a 12" Koda for my birthday off the missus..absolutely delighted

Have some mutti aromatica pizza sauce and cork buffalo mozzarella to try on some pre made bases later on, probably make a balls of it but sure look!

Tried Tesco and super valu in Finglas for some caputo 0.0 flour but couldn't find it.

Muahahaha

Surprised that huge Tesco in Finglas didnt have it. This place in Smithfield is great for all kinds of imported Italian food, they have San Marzano tomatoes there too which are great for making pizza sauce. Theyve a cheese counter in the store too and all kinds of pepperoni, salami, proschuitto, etc for topping pizzas https://littleitalyltd.com/

With the mozzeralla its a good idea to slice it thinly in advance and push it between paper towels for 10 minutes to get some of the moisture out. It helps avoid the pizza being soggy

Avoca shop in Dunboyne has Caputo 00 flour red & blue.
Couldn't find any 00 flour in any supermarkets near me before seeing it in Avoca last week.

The pre-made pizza bases are a good lesson how to launch and cook them to be honest. It helps get a feel for the oven. Enjoy.

Don’t think the 37mBar ones are in stock for a while now. But it burns wood- so get some hardwood kindling and light her up!

Says they are shipping late May, think we'll have to return this one and order the correct 37mBar version.

The koda doesn't burn wood does it?

The 12” koda with the 37 mbar was in stock up until I ordered on Wednesday, shipped on Friday.

Looking at getting the karu.where is best place to buy from? Was on ooni.com and list price is 349, would there be local stockists at this price???

Got an ooni karu and a load of hardwood logs.

These are way too big. Any tips for what tools to use to cut these into the correct shape for the oven?

I'm sure a hatchet would do the trick. You might get lucky in the lidl or aldi middle aisle.

Muahahaha

yeah you need an axe to chop it up, sounds like you've hardwood for burning in log stoves which is way too big to fit in the Karu.

If you dont want to buy an axe you can buy smaller chunks of hardwood thats for pizza ovens from some of the BBQ places, just make sure it fits without needing to be chopped

I think some people mainly use charcoal to get the oven up to temperature and then just a bit of hardwood onto the fire a minute before launching the pizza for the extra heat and smoke. If you did it that way you wouldnt need all that much wood

PARlance

Not sure if this is allowed in here but I had extra dough from the weekend and did some Roman style pan pizza (from the weekend's leftovers) for lunch in the standard oven. A very different experience but I just didn't feel like firing up the Ooni.

Inspiration came from the one and only Vito.

Splitting them down the grain works ok but I also need to chop against the grain to shorten them which is proving difficult!

Ah, maybe keep those logs for the fireplace, and pick up some hardwood kindling if you can? I don't have an oven that takes wood, but I'd say a combo of the charcoal and hardwood kindling might work well.

If anyone is looking for Caputo flour in Wexford , I was onto James in Sheehan’s Cash and Carry(across from Woodies beside the roundabout ) and he is after getting a pallet of it in. You don’t need a business account to get it as it’s for personal use. It’s €23.50 for a 25kg bag. I’ve just picked a bag up myself so thought I would let people know.

Well, what tools have you got?

As others said, split them down the grain with a hatchet, or maybe use a wood grenade first.

Cut across the grain with a saw. Or, if you got them down small enough, use secateurs or loppers. Perhaps a hammer (or mallet) and chisel to chop them. or that hatchet again.

Got the Ooni Koda 12 as a surprise present two weeks ago. Not on Instagram so was completely unaware of the Ooni pizza craze :pac:

14 days of intense YouTubing later, and back from the dough rabbit hole, my peel finally arrived and I took her for her maiden voyage.

I got some supplies in Little Italy in Smithfield in Dublin, highly recommend their tinned pizza sauce, and salami from the deli counter. Got the tip to go there from this thread. (Their wine isn't bad either!).

Also from this thread, I got my propane from Nolan's in Clontarf, great shop, and they had the smaller 6kg propane cylinders I was looking for.

I got the perfect wooden table for the Ooni from Not Ikea (JYSK) but it seems to be gone of the website now. I actually drove to Navan to pick it up!! Actual Ikea have one similar, just the size for the Ooni, and folds away when not in use.

Also from this thread, I got the tip for The Food Center in Lucan. They do 4 frozen dough balls for 4 euro. Can't recommend them enough. 7 hours at room temperature in an airtight container, they proved, doubled in size, and onto the Onni with them. De-lish!!!







I got the Onni Pizza stone up to 450 degrees C (checked with an infrared thermometer of course!) after an 18 minute preheat. I had turned the flame down to half before putting the pizza in, but I still burnt the crust a bit. Will use a lower flame the next time.

Still, I was very surprised how nice the pizza was. It was possibly one of the nicest pizzas I've ever had! And I've eaten pizza weekly for about two decades across several continents

Recipe was The Food Center pizza balls, Little Italy Pizza sauce, M&S 'cooking mozzarella', Little Italy Salami, and a bit of grated parmesan after cooking. Realy really very tasty pizza. Will go for round to on Thursday and report back!

Soon to be much bigger Al

Looking for that kind of table, when did you get one from Navan?
