For the longest time, pizza ovens have traditionally been large, monolithic structures many considered the holy grail for cooking authentic Italian style pizzas. These built-in ovens were designed to be integrated into outdoor kitchens or patios, but very few could afford them as they cost thousands of dollars. (Not to mention, they took up a lot of space!) Thankfully, we\u2019ve entered a new age of pizza making through portable pizza ovens.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the past few years, we\u2019ve seen an evolution in pizza ovens \u2013 they\u2019ve become more portable, with units you can buy off the shelves without building them into your backyard. Recently, these ovens have shrunk even more, with tabletop pizza ovens taking the world by storm.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Offering the convenience of being used in smaller spaces and becoming much more affordable than their larger counterparts, the tabletop pizza oven is transforming regular Aussies into pizza connoisseurs as they can relish a myriad of topping combinations while enjoying the theatrics of making their own authentic pizza at home.<\/span><\/p>\n

How to Choose a Portable Pizza Oven<\/b><\/h2>\n

The key to perfecting your homemade pizza recipe is to achieve high heat. If you\u2019re not reaching at least 371\u00b0C on the cooking surface, it will be difficult to achieve the right bake on your dough and get that coveted bubbly, charred crust.<\/span><\/p>\n

How to Make Delicious Pizza Using a Portable Pizza Oven<\/b><\/h2>\n

Once you\u2019ve sorted your oven and fuel, it\u2019s time to bust out your skills for your homemade creations. Here are some tips for creating the best tasting, restaurant quality pizza every time:<\/span><\/p>\n

Choose your dough.<\/b><\/h3>\n

While you can always make your own pizza dough, don\u2019t dismiss store bought options either. They\u2019re great in a pinch and easy to handle for beginners \u2013 perfect for entertaining \u201changry\u201d guests at the last minute!<\/span><\/p>\n

Build your pizza directly on the pizza peel.<\/b><\/h3>\n

Doing this lets you avoid the mess of transferring your toppings covered dough from the cutting board to the <\/span>pizza peel<\/span><\/a>! Just make sure to cover the peel\u2019s surface with flour or cornmeal to prevent your dough from sticking.<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t overdo your toppings.<\/b><\/h3>\n

Too many toppings can weigh your pizza down and lead to a soggy crust. Instead of fancy sauces, try crushing a can of whole, peeled tomatoes with your hands and scattering them across the surface of your dough. And when it comes to your preferred toppings, from thinly sliced mushrooms to strands of fresh mozzarella cheese, fresh basil and cherry tomatoes, add less than you think you should. Don\u2019t forget to add salt and drizzle olive oil to your pizza before placing it in the oven!<\/span><\/p>\n

Pay attention to your cook.<\/b><\/h3>\n

Once the temperature of your portable pizza oven reaches the desired high heat, you can place your pizza onto the pizza stone, and it will cook very quickly. In about 60 to 90 seconds, you\u2019ll see charring on the far side of the pizza closest to the flames. When this happens, quickly turn the pie 180\u00b0 so you get even charring. Wait for another 60 to 90 seconds and you\u2019ll have the perfect homemade pizza in no time.<\/span><\/p>\n

With enough practice, you can say goodbye to store bought pizza forever and enjoy hot, fresh pizza in minutes with your portable pizza oven \u2013 ideal for last minute get togethers and soaking up the outdoors!<\/span><\/p>\n
