Here’s a simple, delicious recipe to make pizza in your traditional oven, perfect for enjoying that unmistakable wood-fired taste.
Dough Ingredients (for 2 medium pizzas):
- 500 g of all-purpose or type 00 flour
- 300 ml of warm water
- 7 g of active dry yeast
- 10 g of salt
- 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
Topping Ingredients
-
1 cup of natural tomato sauce (passata)
- 2 cups of shredded or fresh mozzarella
- Your favorite toppings (pepperoni, ham, mushrooms, olives, basil, etc.)
- Olive oil and dried oregano (optional)
How to Bake in a Firewood or Gas Oven
Make the dough: In a large bowl, mix all ingredients and knead for about 10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. Cover and let it rest for 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
Preheat your oven: If you're using a firewood oven from Firewood Oven Puerto Rico, preheat it to 350–400°C (660–750°F). Our ovens are engineered for high-heat cooking, ensuring the perfect crispy crust and soft interior every time.
Shape and top the pizza: Roll out the dough on a floured surface, spread the tomato sauce, add the cheese, and finish with your preferred toppings.
Bake the pizza:
- In a firewood oven: bake for 90 seconds to 3 minutes
- In a gas oven: bake for 4 to 6 minutes
The result is an authentic wood oven pizza, infused with that rich, smoky flavor only a real traditional oven can deliver.
Serve and enjoy: Drizzle with olive oil and a sprinkle of oregano if desired. Serve hot and enjoy with family and friends, or keep it all to yourself!
