Thanks for the cheese suggestions I'll pick up a couple to test. Also read online that Arla do a block mozzarella that's very good but this is aimed at commercial kitchens and only comes in 2.3kg blocks, it's £30 on Amazon but trying to source one through our staff canteen. Will report back on how I get on with whatever I manage to pick up.

[WARNING] I could spend a small fortune on this website (I have, infact!)

Any good garlic bread recipes?

Crush garlic, mix with butter, add salt to taste and chopped parsley. Spread on pizza base and cook. I add mozzarella too .

Don’t hold back on the garlic either. Ideally IOW Garlic Farm Garlic.

I lightly crush some whole cloves, put them in an enamel dish with olive oil and thyme and put it in the pizza oven for a few minutes, stiring every 30 seconds so it doesn't burn

The garlic can them be sliced and put on a pizza base with a drizzle of the oil, some parmesan and some salt

Left over oil goes into a cleaned out tabasco bottle for putting on anything I want garlic oil on

Only picture I have cooked is one I put mozz on and only part cooked as they were being warmed up at a bbq we went to the next day (this worked well and they were delicious)

To add to this, I do the same as above BUT freeze the mixed butter/garlic/parsley into a small ramekin. Break it up into small pieces and scatter on the base, add grated cheese/mozzarella and voila!

I freeze the butter as it will burn too quickly while the base cooks.

Aldi have got their BBQ topper pizza oven back in stock, £39.99.

Has anyone tried one? Any good?

I guess it's worth a shot at that price.

I asked the same a while back. Consensus was its a pile of st and those who had tried it were disappointed and many had returned it.

Thanks. Interesting as it gets glowing reports on their website (but they would wouldn’t they).

Few pages back I did cheese stuffed dough balls which went with a garlic butter dip.

Odd request -

Does anyone on here have an Ooni 3 that they use with gas?

If so could you stick a photo up of it with the burner on to show the spread and pattern of the flame?

The cloves are an unusual addition.

This! With M&S caramelised onion chutney. Go VIP with goats cheese.

[LeadFarmer]

I use the Pizzapp for my dough recipe, but I've just had a play with Ooni's app.
Entering the exact same values in both apps gives almost identical results, but there's quite a difference in the amount of yeast, one saying 1.67g and the other 2.8g

I'm going to give the Ooni method a try this evening for pizzas tomorrow

Do you add the chutney before cooking, or after?

[justin220]

Superb thanks for the garlic tips. I've been using lazy garlic previously but will try cloves

LeadFarmer said:

Before. But let it cool a little before eating!

Might give that a try tomorrow, thanks.

I have one.

It’s not bad, just make sure it’s up to temp. Nowhere near as good as the ooni, but still decent enough.

Not sure how this will go down, as certainly not a pizza oven, but relatively pleased with this attempt on a cheap weber gas bbq.



It does take ages though compared to a normal pizza oven!
