graygo Posted April 17, 2021 Author Share Posted April 17, 2021 Had a go at making my own dough for the first time yesterday. Don't think I'll be buying frozen for a while although might keep a few for back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peakybunnet Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Ordered my Ooni last week but have a 3 week lead time. Apparently deliveries disrupted by the ship stuck in the Suez last month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmarkus1981 Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Mine arrived about a week ago. And I'm ashamed to admit, its still in the box in the garage. I've not made any dough yet and I am 100% not just chucking a premade Asda thing on it 3 hours ago, Peakybunnet said: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allyby Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 I made Tandoori style chicken in my one today, cut it in to cubes and put it in Pataks Bhuna Sauce, also did Peshawari Naans in the Ooni, Bloody tasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, it was quite a bit better than the frozen doughballs I had been using. This Friday I'm going to be using a 30p bag of Tesco 00 flour. 😲 Also used a 62% hydration.

AlimOzturk Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 For folk who can’t have a pizza oven for what ever reason getting a pizza stone and heating it as high temperature as possible on conventional oven for an hour will do the job. Still not quite as good but really does make a huge difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also i have found if you roll your pizza onto some baking paper it makes it a lot easier to get onto the stone and as long as you dont have too much spare paper round it you can just lay it on the stone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

graygo Posted April 19, 2021 Author Share Posted April 19, 2021 Friend of mine is trying to produce a rotating wheel for the Ooni ovens, the difficult part is getting an adhesive that will bond stone to metal which won't dissolve under the high temperatures. Want's me to test out a prototype for him as he only has a 12" oven, will be interesting to see if it works well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disser Pointon Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Excuse my ignorance but what's the reference to hydration people keep making? New to this and only made one batch of dough so far...............which I was quite chuffed with for a first effort! Might try the Poolish recipe above next time but I've still got some of it frozen to get through first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milky_26 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 hydration is linked to the amount of water in the dough, i believe a higher hydration will give a stretchier more open bake while a lower one gives a tighter and harder one. realistically it seems 60-65% seems normal for pizza dough. dont worry about it if you are following recipes and stick with those that you prefer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that I'm having a problem with the flame on my Koda just now, flame at the back is fine but it's very low on the left which means I'm not able to get it to a high enough temperature. Ooni suggested I get an air duster and try to blow away any possible blockages which didn't work so they sent out a new regulator. I put that on today and still the problem exists, just waiting on the next step now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the next step is that they want to uplift the oven I have on Friday and replace it sometime in the middle of June. 😲 I've told them that's not good enough as the faulty oven I have is better than nothing. Dobbies (Lakeland) can deliver in a few days so I'm going for a full refund. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
