Equipment

  • Outdoor Pizza Oven, Pizza Steel, or Stone (if using a home oven)
  • 1 Pizza Peel
  • 1 sauce ladle
  • 1 frying pan (for caramelised pineapple)
  • 1 wooden chopping board or peel for prep and serving

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pizza dough ball
  • 1 ladle of pizza sauce
  • Fresh mozzarella cheese
  • Prosciutto
  • Rucola (rocket)
  • Caramelised pineapple
  • Extra virgin olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Prepare Dough: Follow any of our dough recipes. You will need to prepare the dough at least 24 hours ahead of time.
  • Prepare Sauce: We recommend our standard pizza sauce which is versatile, simple to make and is perfect for Neapolitan style pizzas. Spice up this sauce however you like, remember the best part about making pizza is the creative process!
  • Prepare Cheese: Place your fresh mozzarella in a container or bowl with a paper towel at the bottom to absorb excess moisture. Tear the mozzarella into medium-sized pieces. Set aside.
  • Prepare Caramelised Pineapple: Slice the pineapple into medium-sized chunks. Heat a pan over medium to high heat, and add a small amount of butter along with a sprinkle of sugar (optional). Once the butter has melted, add the pineapple chunks and coat them in the melted butter and sugar. Cook for about 2 minutes on each side until golden and slightly softened (they will cook further in the pizza oven). Set aside for assembly.
  • Prepare Prosciutto and Rucola: There is no need to cook the prosciutto or rucola. Keep the prosciutto slices whole and the rucola fresh to be used as post bake toppings.
  • Preheat Oven:
    If using an outdoor pizza like an Ooni pizza oven, aim for a temperature of 450-500°C at the center of your pizza stone. Use an infrared thermometer to ensure accuracy. It should take around 25-30 minutes to reach temperature.
    For a home oven, using a pizza steel or stone, place the stone or steel inside the oven and preheat to the highest temperature for at least 30 minutes.
  • Prepare Base: On a lightly floured surface, stretch out the dough by hand according to the steps outlined in our dough recipe. Once you're happy with the shape of the base, lightly dust your pizza peel and transfer the dough onto the peel.
  • Assemble Pizza: Start by spreading a ladle of sauce in a circular motion from the center outward. Distribute mozzarella pieces, ensuring they’re evenly spaced. The cheese pieces should be around 2 cm in diameter and at least 1.5 cms apart. Add the caramelised pineapple pieces across the pizza, and a light drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
  • Bake Your Pizza:
    If you're using an outdoor pizza oven, launch the pizza into the oven and bake for 60-90 seconds. Keep an eye on the pie and rotate every 10-15 seconds to ensure even cooking and to avoid burning.
    For a home oven with a pizza steel or stone, the bake time should be around 7-10 minutes.
  • Serving: Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and place it on a serving board. Arrange rucola and prosciutto slices over the pizza. Slice and enjoy!

Pancetta Carbonara Pizza

Pancetta Carbonara Pizza

Today, we’re (loosely) incorporating one of our favourite dishes, Italian carbonara, into our favourite type of cuisine – pizza! We’re crafting a carbonara-inspired pie, and we’re confident it’s going to be fantastic.

Carbonara, a signature Roman pasta dish, is revered for its creamy texture and profound savoury flavour. Traditionally, carbonara is a luxurious blend of egg, Pecorino Romano Cheese, guanciale, and ground pepper. However, we’re improvising with what we have at hand; substituting Grana Padano for Pecorino Romano, and opting for pancetta in place of guanciale.

This carbonara-inspired pizza strikes a beautiful balance of creamy, salty, and cheesy flavours and textures, all topped off with a fresh bite of chives to elevate the experience.

Broccolini, Red Capsicum & Garlic Pizza

Broccolini, Red Capsicum & Garlic Pizza

Today’s pie is a delightful fusion of broccolini, red capsicum, and aromatic garlic.

Broccolini, often referred to as baby broccoli, has a sweet, earthy flavour with a hint of peppery undertones. Unlike its relative, broccoli, broccolini boasts tender stems that make for a much more suitable pizza topping. Red capsicum, or red bell pepper, adds a sweet crunch to our dish, beautifully balancing the richness of the mozzarella blend. Meanwhile, garlic brings forward a pungent and spicy flavour, which, when roasted, becomes incredibly sweet and mellow. A sprinkle of chilli flakes provides a subtle heat kick, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil adds texture and ties everything together.

The combination of broccolini, red capsicum, and garlic creates a refreshing, veggie-centric alternative to the usual pizza toppings and is a real treat for vegetarians and health-conscious foodies alike.

  • Pecorino cheese
  • 1 can of mackerel in oil
  • 1 tomato
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • Fresh spinach leaves
  • Dried oregano
  • Chilli flakes
  • Extra virgin olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Prepare Dough: Follow any of our dough recipes. You will need to prepare the dough at least 24 hours ahead of time.
  • Prepare Cheese: Finely grate the pecorino. Tear the low moisture mozzarella into medium-sized pieces. Set aside. Set aside ready for assembly.

  • Prepare Mackerel: Drain the canned mackerel, then place the mackerel on a paper towel to drain further. Set aside.
  • Preheat Oven:
    If using an outdoor pizza like an Ooni pizza oven, aim for a temperature of 450-500°C at the center of your pizza stone. Use an infrared thermometer to ensure accuracy. It should take around 25-30 minutes to reach temperature.
    For a home oven, using a pizza steel or stone, place the stone or steel inside the oven and preheat to the highest temperature for at least 30 minutes.

Ensure the pieces are approximately 2 cm in diameter and spaced at least 1.5 cm apart. Next, generously sprinkle pecorino over the mozzarella. Place medium-sized chunks of mackerel evenly across the pizza, followed by slices of tomato and garlic. Finish with sprinkles of oregano and chili flakes, and then drizzle with EVOO.
  • Bake Your Pizza:
    If you're using an outdoor pizza oven, launch the pizza into the oven and bake for 60-90 seconds. Keep an eye on the pie and rotate every 10-15 seconds to ensure even cooking and to avoid burning.
    For a home oven with a pizza steel or stone, the bake time should be around 7-10 minutes.
  • Serving: Once the pizza is done, remove it from the oven and place it on a serving board. Garnish with chopped spinach leaves. Now it's time to enjoy your healthy and delicious homemade mackerel pizza!

Homemade Pizza with Kohlrabi

Homemade Pizza with Kohlrabi

At My Husband Makes Pies, we’re constantly pushing the boundaries of traditional pizza toppings. Today, we’re venturing into a unique blend: spiced kohlrabi, fresh mozzarella, and a touch of balsamic glaze

Kohlrabi, also known as the German turnip or turnip cabbage, is a crisp and mildly sweet vegetable and is often enjoyed in pickles, salads, soups, and stews. Many might recall its taste as akin to the stem of broccoli, but with a hint of sweetness. For our pizza, it’s seasoned with a mix of turmeric, sweet and spicy paprika, which lends an aromatic and slightly fiery taste to its natural flavour. The balsamic glaze introduces a tangy sweetness, contrasting with the soft, melt-in-the-mouth texture of the fresh mozzarella. Spring onions give that sharp, fresh kick, while the extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) ties everything together with its fruity undertones.

The amalgamation of spiced kohlrabi, rich mozzarella, and tangy balsamic glaze offers a vibrant and harmonious flavour profile. The zing of the balsamic glaze adds a unique touch, perfectly complementing the earthy kohlrabi and creamy mozzarella. This pizza is a delightful fusion of textures and flavours, catering to those eager to explore unconventional pizza toppings and combinations.

How to Create Restaurant-Quality Pizza at Home

How to Create Restaurant-Quality Pizza at Home

Hello there, pizza enthusiasts! Are you ready to bring your favourite pizzeria right into your own kitchen? You’d be surprised how satisfying it is to craft your own pizza, serve it up to family and friends, and watch their eyes light up with that first bite. All you need are a few good-quality ingredients, basic(ish) equipment, and some good preparation to craft restaurant-quality pies at home. We’ve created this guide as your foundation, from which you can experiment to find your personal pizza-making style.


Equipment

A few essentials to turn your kitchen outdoor area into your own pizzeria:

  • An outdoor pizza oven like an Ooni is ideal but a pizza steel or stone works great in a home oven
  • A pizza peel for launching your pizza into the oven
  • A ladle for spreading your sauce smoothly
  • A pizza cutter or a large kitchen knife for those perfect slices
  • A wooden board for both prep and serving
  • An infrared thermometer (optional) can be a very handy tool to have on hand


Pizza Ingredients

Remember, your pizza is only as good as your ingredients. Your base ingredients should be high-quality. Consider the following:

  • High-protein flour (above 12%) like Italian 00 or 0 flour. If unavailable, high-protein bread flour works fine
  • Quality canned tomatoes, San Marzano DOP or Mutti Polpa are our go-to’s for the sauce
  • Cheeses like fresh mozzarella, low-moisture mozzarella, and grana padano. Stay away from pre-grated cheeses as these are usually coated to prevent clumping, which can impact flavour and meltability
  • Fresh and/or dried herbs like basil and oregano add a touch of aromatic elegance and flavour
  • A drizzle of Extra Virgin Olive Oil, pre and/or post bake, ties everything together


Pizza Dough

The soul of your pizza is in the dough, and we suggest a longer fermentation period for a taste and texture that truly stands out. A room temperature proof of around 16-24 hours, or a cold temp fermentation of around 48-72 hours, is ideal. It’s a touch longer than a lot of recipes online, but the depth of flavor and the chewy, crunchy texture is absolutely next level.


Pizza Toppings

When it comes to toppings, remember the golden rule: less is more. Avoid overloading your pizza to ensure even cooking and harmonious flavors. Allow your ingredients to stand out and complement one another.


Pizza Oven Essentials

An outdoor pizza oven like an Ooni reaches professional pizzeria temperatures, yielding that gorgeous, puffy cornicione, maybe together with coveted leopard spotting. If this is out of your budget, a pizza stone or a pizza steel in your home oven is a great, cost-effective alternative. They retain and distribute heat evenly, helping achieve a perfectly cooked crust.


Cooking Method

Now, let’s get to the heart of pizza-making.

  • Follow any of our dough recipes. All of our dough recipes follow a long fermentation method and work very well most pizza styles
  • Prepare the sauce, we recommend our standard pizza sauce. It’s simple and versatile
  • Fire up your oven. For an outdoor oven like an Ooni, aim for a temperature of 450-500°C in the center of your pizza stone, this should take around 25 – 30 minutes on full flame. Use an infrared thermometer if you have one on hand. For a home oven, set the temperature to max, insert your pizza stone or steel for at least 30 minutes before baking
  • Stretch out the dough, place it on a lightly floured pizza peel
  • Assembly time – start by ladling the sauce onto the dough and spreading it in a circular motion from the center. Next, evenly distribute the cheese over the sauce, but remember not to overdo it! Sprinkle dried or fresh herbs over the cheese – if you prefer, you can add these after baking, but we find that baking them enhances their aroma and flavor. Top with any additional ingredients you like. Finally, give your pizza a finishing touch with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil
  • For an outdoor pizza oven, launch the pizza into the oven and bake for 60-90 seconds. Keep an eye on the pie and rotate every 10-15 seconds to ensure even cooking and to avoid burning. For a home oven with a pizza steel or stone, the bake time should be around 7-10 minutes.


Mastering the art of pizza-making at home is a journey, one filled with delicious experiments and little victories as well as setbacks. With a few simple principles outlined above as your foundation, you’re well on your way to creating restaurant-quality pizzas right in your own kitchen. Embrace the process, be creative and remember, even mishaps are just tasty learning opportunities. You’re going to tear a few doughs and mess up a few launches, of course, this is all part of the fun!

As you become more comfortable with the process, start to incorporate your own twists and variations. Experiment with different cheeses and cheese blends, play around with different herbs and spices and try new and unusual topping and flavour combinations; we’re firm believers that with the right balance and preparation, just about anything works on a pizza. When it comes to pizza making there’s no definitive right or wrong, just a wide world of delicious possibilities to explore!

Finally, remember to share the love (and the pizza!). Whether it’s a family dinner, a casual gathering with friends, or just a self-indulgent night in, there’s nothing quite like the joy of biting into a slice of homemade pizza. From scratch to oven, you’ve crafted it, and now it’s time to enjoy the fruits of your labor.

So, go forth and bake, budding pizza maestros! Your pizzeria-quality pizza at home awaits you. Happy pizza-making!

Equipment

  • Outdoor Pizza Oven, Pizza Steel, or Stone (if using a home oven)
  • 1 Pizza Peel
  • 1 sauce ladle
  • 1 wooden chopping board or peel for prep and serving

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pizza dough ball
  • 1 ladle of pizza sauce
  • Grana padano cheese
  • Salami
  • Chotto motto sichimi togarashi spice mix

Instructions
 

  • Prepare Dough: Follow any of our dough recipes. You will need to prepare the dough at least 24 hours ahead of time.
  • Prepare Sauce: We recommend our standard pizza sauce which is versatile, simple to make and is perfect for Neapolitan style pizzas. Spice up this sauce however you like, remember the best part about making pizza is the creative process!
  • Prepare Enoki Mushrooms: Chop the tougher ends of your enoki mushrooms. Set aside for assembly.
  • Prepare Cheese: Finely grate grana padano. Set aside.
  • Preheat Oven:
    If using an outdoor pizza like an Ooni pizza oven, aim for a temperature of 450-500°C at the center of your pizza stone. Use an infrared thermometer to ensure accuracy. It should take around 25-30 minutes to reach temperature.
    For a home oven, using a pizza steel or stone, place the stone or steel inside the oven and preheat to the highest temperature for at least 30 minutes.
  • Prepare Base: On a lightly floured surface, stretch out the dough by hand according to the steps outlined in our dough recipe. Once you're happy with the shape of the base, lightly dust your pizza peel and transfer the dough onto the peel.
  • Assemble Pizza: Start by spreading a ladle of sauce in a circular motion, starting from the center of the dough and working your way outwards. Next, generously sprinkle chotto motto sichimi togarashi spice mix over the sauce, followed by a couple of handfuls of grated grana padano cheese. Layer your salami slices next, making sure to overlap them slightly for optimal texture.
  • Bake Your Pizza:
    If you're using an outdoor pizza oven, launch the pizza into the oven and bake for 60-90 seconds. Keep an eye on the pie and rotate every 10-15 seconds to ensure even cooking and to avoid burning.
    For a home oven with a pizza steel or stone, the bake time should be around 7-10 minutes.
  • Serving: Once done, remove the pizza from the oven and place it on a serving board. Now it's time to enjoy your delicious homemade salami and enoki mushroom pizza!

Servings 4 12 inch pizzas

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Wooden spoon

Ingredients
  

  • 600  grams 00 flour  (high protein bread flour can also be used as an alternative)
  • 402 grams water  (room temperature)
  • 1.2 grams dry yeast (active dry yeast or instant dry yeast can be used)
  • 16 grams salt
  • 50/50 ish mix of 00 and semolina flour (for dusting and stretching)

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients (00 flour, dry yeast, and salt) with a wooden spoon.
  • Add water and mix well with wooden spoon until the ingredients are fully combined.
  • Knead the dough by hand on a lightly floured surface for 10-15 minutes until it feels firm and stretchy. As you knead, add small amounts of flour as needed to prevent the dough from sticking to your hands.
  • Place the dough in a bowl with an airtight lid or cover it with cling wrap. Allow to bulk ferment for 8 – 12 hours at room temperature.
  • After the bulk fermentation period, divide the dough into 4 balls. Place each ball in an airtight (very lightly greased with oil) container to prove for another 24 – 48 hours in the refrigerator.
  • Once it's time to bake, remove dough balls from the refrigerator and rest at room temperature for around 4 hours.
  • To shape the dough, begin with a round ball of dough and toss in a mixture of semolina and 00 flour (50/50 mix). This will prevent the dough from sticking when stretching. Place the ball on a lightly floured surface and use your fingertips to press out the air from the center, leaving just under an inch of dough on the edge. This will help to form a nice, airy crust (cornicione) around the edge of your pizza.
  • To stretch the dough into a base, gently lift and transfer between the palms and wrists of your hands a few times. Place the dough on your knuckles and stretch and rotate until you're satisfied with the size and shape. Be sure to stretch the dough evenly and not too thin, as this may cause it to tear.
MHMP Cold Fermentation Dough Recipe

Our cold fermentation dough recipe is a slight variation of our classic dough recipe. The cold fermentation process slows the yeast activity right down, allowing more time for development, resulting in a more complex and flavourful crust. Just like our classic dough recipe, our cold
