Ooni Pizza Sauce Recipe

"After years of outdoor pizza oven pizza failures, I've seen it all, from blackened and burned to watery, gooey piles of dough. So I've spent the last few years perfecting my Ooni pizza oven technique. First it was the dough, and now I've cracked the code for the best sauce, too! Here's what many people get wrong about pizza oven cooking: they use the same sauce and dough recipes that work in a regular oven."

"Here's what many people get wrong about pizza oven cooking: they use the same sauce and dough recipes that work in a regular oven. But pizza ovens operate at much higher temperatures (like 900°F!). I've tested countless variations to develop an Ooni pizza sauce recipe that won't turn watery at high heat. Pair it with my Ooni pizza dough recipe for complete success!"

Outdoor pizza ovens commonly produce blackened, burned crusts or watery, gooey dough when using regular oven recipes. High-temperature oven technique tailored to Ooni-style cooking resolves these failures. Dough formulations were optimized first; sauce formulation followed to prevent watery toppings at extreme heat. Pizza ovens reach temperatures around 900°F, which destabilize conventional sauces. Testing countless variations identified an Ooni pizza sauce that resists watering out during rapid, high-heat baking. Using that sauce alongside an Ooni-specific dough recipe produces reliably cooked, well-textured pizzas with appropriate char and sauce consistency.
