I have a little tip here about the dough. If you want to activate the yeast properly, let the yeast and water sit for a few minutes, do NOT add the salt. Wait for it to become just a bit bubbly, maybe five minutes. Add the salt to the dough with the dry ingredient, the flour. The reason to do it this way is that salt actually acts like a retardant to the yeast, slowing it's fermentation. Even just explaining that, you can tell why you'd add the salt in the dough after the yeast has activated. (Sugar, on the other hand, helps the yeast ferment and grow faster.) Another good reason to do it this way is that especially when you are using active dry yeast, the yeast needs to be alive. If the yeast is dead, no magic happens with dough. And in these post-covid times, there's a lot of old yeast that's gonna be in people's pantries! So it helps you identify if your yeast is still healthy. The bubbling you see is the yeast beginning it's fermentation processes, and it is what helps the dough rise.
I am super excited to get my Ooni Fyra 16, too bad it's a few months on back order! I have made a ton of pizza in my life of all styles, but never had access to a high temp oven, so it's a big deal for me.

Just got my ooni pro 16 last week, I'm going to try this recipe. Was in Naples 2 years ago, best pizza I've ever had! I know I can't recreate it but I'm going to have fun trying!

Very natural presenter and a pizza pro too. Great vid.

I’ve used many different dough recipes over the years, this one is now my favorite. I used it for the first time yesterday, followed the recipe pretty much (except added 1 tsp of sugar in the water yeast mix and added the salt to the flour for reasons that others here have stated). The end result was awesome AND was made same day. Thank you!

Since finding this recipe we have enjoyed it every time it's made. I do let the dough rest longer for 6 hours but very simple and doughlicious!!

I followed this recipe down to the letter and it came out perfect! 👏 Kudos on the product and the recipe. Thanks Kirsty for making it easy for even a novice like me!

[JamesAHall]

Great clear explanation. I can't wait for my Koda to arrive!

[jessvelahair]

Tried this recipe and our Ooni oven for the first time recently and it was delicious! Have two batches of dough rising currently and sharing with friends tonight!

Great video. My children gave me an Ooni Frya 12 for my 75th birthday - I am amazed at how easy it is to make a great pizza at home!

[HarryCallahan]

Ooni. Many compliments! I'm from Italy and you have done great research on pizza. Success is garanteed!

[stacyshakoor]

Best video I’ve ever watched on the subject! Many thanks!

[willthomas]

Awesome introduction into Neapolitan dough, thanks guys!

We are having a large group over for Pizza with my new Ooni 16 and wondered if we could prepare and shape the dough ahead of time so the guests could just load their pizzas instead of having to shape one at a time. Is that possible? If so, how would we keep it until ready and where? Thank you

We just bought one Ooni Katy 12 today ! Pizza for dinner ! Cheers from
Austin Texas ! Claudia

I’m assuming I can freeze the dough balls at the point, where you make the pizza?
