Double Pepperoni and Onion Pizza is lots of pepperoni and a mountain of 3 kinds of cheese. Topped with sweet onions on a simple garlic onion pizza crust. If you like pizza you’ll love this one!

Patti and I have set one night a week just for us. It’s our date night. Tonight we are cooking on our Ooni (Uuni) 3 Wood Fired Oven but sometimes we cook inside. We always eat outside on our patio where it is very comfortable with a rainforest theme.  Wood Pellet Patio Heater, little lights, candles, lanterns and surround sound. We enjoy a little wine, or strawberry margaritas using frozen strawberries for ice, good food, music and sometimes a dance or two…

Cooking Directions:

Prepare your pizza dough, make your own or use a premade, whatever you like.

Light your Uuni and get the “Stone” temperature up to at least 420* (215c).

I have found that the easiest way to build your pizza is to build it right on the pizza peel. As you build your pizza be careful not to overlap or spill off the dough onto the peel aka instant glue!!! That way you don’t have to put it onto the peel when you’re done.

Flour the pizza peel and stretch your dough out on it.

Add sauce and toppings to taste.

Check that your pizza will slide on your peel. I like to use a “Dough Scraper” for this. Just work it under and around your pizza to be sure it is not sticking to the peel.

When your pizza stone is “Hot” slide your pizza onto it. A wide bladed spatula helps sliding it off the pizza peel and onto your “Hot” stone.

I have found that it cooks best if I rotate my pizza every 15 seconds a quarter turn. This keeps it from burning. A “Pig Tail”, pizza spinner or a pizza hook helps with sliding your pizza back onto your pizza peel so you can turn it.

Most of my pizzas are done in about 45 seconds depending on how thick you are making your crust. So, I can easily say these cook fast!

I use a Maverick LT-04GG Laser Thermometer for checking my stone temps.

• 4 cups flour
• 1 ¾ cups water
• Dry Yeast (I use a 2/3 oz. package of fresh yeast)
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• 2 tsp salt
• 1 Tbsp crushed dried onion per cup of flour (4Tbsp)
• 1 Tbsp ground garlic per cup of flour (4Tbsp)
  

Note: For a simple pizza dough leave out the onion and garlic and subtract a ½ cup of water from this recipe.

Directions for Pizza Dough: 

Heat 1/2 of the water to 100* add 1 tsp sugar and yeast. (30 seconds in the microwave)

Stir and set aside to activate.

Place flour into a bowl with the garlic, onion and salt.

Add water and olive oil and begin mixing.

Once your dough ball has formed knead your dough ball about 10 minutes. Then, cover bowl and let rise in a warm place. (1 to 2 Hours)

Once dough has proved divide on a floured surface divide it into 2 to 4 balls of dough.

Let them rise again for another 20 minutes before stretching.

TIP # 1: Check the temperature of the pizza stone, you are looking for a temp around 420* (215c). You need the stone “Hot” enough to sear the dough on contact or your pizza will stick to it like glue.

TIP # 2: A wide bladed spatula helps sliding it off the pizza peel and onto your “Hot” stone.

Tip # 3: A “Pig Tail”, pizza spinner or a pizza hook helps with sliding your pizza back onto your pizza peel so you can turn it.

About our Recipes

We do our recipes on our patio where we have a lineup of grills, including Green Mountain, Uuni Wood Fired Pizza Oven, Sawtooth, Louisiana, Royall, Memphis, Traeger pellet grills, Char Griller side box smoker, Saber, Charmglow, Char-Broil, The Big Easy, Lodge Sportsman’s, Brinkman and Weber. I call it our “Wall of Grill”. Our grilling styles are healthy and low fat and will fit pelletheads, gas, natural wood and even charcoal purists. Almost any of our recipes can be done on any kind of good BBQ.

The important thing to keep in mind is TIME & TEMPERATURE. You can do our recipes on any grill, even some of them in the oven or crock pot, but, then you lose all the flavors you get from cooking outdoors. But sometimes it does rain.

Remember that a recipe is simply an outline; it is not written in stone. Don’t be afraid to make changes to suit your taste. Take it and run with it….

Live your Passion and Do What You Love,
Ken & Patti
