For The Pizza
3

Fire up your Ooni pizza oven. Aim for 750-850°F (400-450°C) on the baking stone inside. Use the infrared thermometer to quickly and accurately check the temperature of the middle of the stone.. Stretch your dough on a lightly floured surface. Push the air from the center out toward the crust, then use your knuckles to stretch out the base to 12 inches.

4

Begin topping by adding a layer of barbecue sauce before sprinkling on the mozzarella and cheddar. Add the chicken and pickled red onions, then slide the pizza off the peel and into your oven. Cook for one to two minutes, using a peel to turn your pizza about every 20 seconds to ensure an even cook.

5

When finished, remove from the oven and top with cilantro. Slice into six pieces and enjoy.

A Pizza on a wooden board covered with poached pears and swirls of Nutella

Yields9 Servings

Dough Balls
 3 250-Gram Dough Balls
Necessary Equipment
 Ooni Pizza Oven
 Infrared Thermometer
 Pizza Cutter or Rocker Blade
 Pizza Dough Scraper
For The Poached Pears
 3 Bosc Pears
 1 qt Water
 2 cups Sugar
 2 Cinnamon Sticks
 4 Cloves
 2 tbsp Honey
 1 tbsp Sea Salt
For The Frangipane
 ¼ cup Unsalted Butter, Salted
 ½ cup Sugar
 1 cup Almond Flour
 1 tsp Kosher Salt
 1 Large Egg
 1 tbsp Milk
For The Nutella Garnish
 Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
 3-4 tbsp Nutella
 Flaky Sea Salt

For The Poached Pears
1

Add pears, water, sugar, cinnamon sticks, cloves, honey and sea salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a low simmer over medium-low heat and make sure the pears are fully submerged in the poaching liquid. Cook until a paring knife slides easily into the pears, but before they turn mushy, about 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool in the liquid. Strain pears and return liquid to pan. Cook over high heat until reduced by half, about 30 minutes. Before using for the pizza, thinly slice the pears, using a whole pear per 12-inch pizza.

For The Frangipane
2

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium speed until creamy. Add the sugar and mix at high speed to incorporate. Add the almond flour and beat on medium speed until thoroughly combined. Add the salt, egg and milk and mix until light and fluffy.

3

Fire up your Ooni oven, aiming for 850 to 950°F (450 to 500°C) on the baking stone inside. Use an infrared thermometer to quickly and accurately check the temperature of the stone.

4

Place a dough ball on your lightly floured work surface. Push the air from the center out to the edge with your fingers. Stretch the dough out to a 12-inch-round base, then lay the stretched dough over your lightly floured pizza peel. Add a drizzle of olive oil to help flatten the dough while cooking. Slide the pizza off the peel and into the oven. Cook for 60 seconds, until the dough is parbaked. The dough should begin to brown, but still have plenty of blonde spots.

5

Remove from the oven, then spread ⅓ of the frangipane onto the warm dough using a spatula. Layer the pear slices on top and return to the oven, cooking until the frangipane turns golden brown. Remove from the oven one final time, then drizzle on the Nutella, reduced pear syrup and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt. Let cool slightly so the frangipane sets up, then slice and serve.
