How To Make Wood Fired Pizza From Scratch

mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: provolone cheese

Part-skim mozzarella reduces calories while maintaining flavor.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is a dairy-free alternative with a cheesy flavor.

pepperoni

🥗Healthier: turkey pepperoni

💰Cheaper: salami

Turkey pepperoni is lower in fat, while salami offers similar flavor.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is a more affordable cooking oil option.

Preheat the wood stove to a temperature of 500°F or higher.

Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness.

Spread a layer of tomato sauce evenly over the dough.

Sprinkle mozzarella cheese generously on top of the sauce.

Add your choice of toppings, such as pepperoni, bell peppers, and onions.

Drizzle olive oil over the toppings and season with salt and black pepper.

Transfer the pizza to a preheated pizza stone in the wood stove.

Bake the pizza for 8-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbling.

Rotate the pizza halfway through baking for even cooking.

Remove the pizza from the wood stove using a pizza peel.

Let the pizza cool for a minute before slicing.

Garnish with fresh basil and red pepper flakes, if desired.

Serve hot and enjoy your wood stove pizza.
