Making Thin Crust Roman Style Pizzas in an Ooni or Gozney

mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: shredded mozzarella

Part-skim mozzarella reduces fat content while maintaining flavor.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated parmesan

Nutritional yeast offers a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Avocado oil has a higher smoke point and is healthier.

fresh basil

🥗Healthier: spinach

💰Cheaper: dried basil

Dried basil is more affordable and has a longer shelf life.

Prepare the pizza dough and let it rise until doubled in size, about 1-2 hours.

Preheat the oven to its highest setting, typically around 475°F (245°C).

Roll out the dough on a floured surface to achieve a thin crust, about 1/8 inch thick.

Transfer the rolled-out dough to a baking sheet or pizza stone.

Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.

Drizzle olive oil over the cheese for added flavor.

Add your choice of toppings such as vegetables, meats, and herbs.

Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste.

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before slicing.

Garnish with fresh basil and grated parmesan before serving.
