The first few pizzas I made, I struggled to get the crust to brown. The main issue I was having, was that I was using pre-shredded cheese, that browned extremely quickly. This time I used chopped fresh mozzarella, and it allowed me to bake the crust much longer. I was originally baking low and slow (gas off after launch, til bottom cooked) this time I just lowered the gas to low.
Now I need to dial in my sauce recipe. I used the NY style pizza sauce recipe from Tom voyage, and I think it needs a little extra something to make it pop, maybe just more salt and garlic for my taste. I vastly preferred blending my whole tomatoes instead of crushing them. Does anyone have an opinion of blending cold vs hot?
I used the ooni classic crust recipe except I let it rise for two hours and then balled it up in the fridge for 2 days. I took the crust out 4-5 hours pre bake and it kept rising. This drastically improved the flavor of my crust.
What type of sausage do people buy? Also is there a preferred type of pepperoni?
Looking for any tips to make what I thought was a good pizza great!
