Recipe Card
For the Dough
ingredients
- 2 320g balls (~1/2 batch) Ooni Thin Crust Pizza Dough
- Fine semolina flour, for dusting
For the Ricotta Topping
ingredients
- 15 ounces whole milk ricotta cheese
- 2 tablespoons (28g) granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
For the Cinnamon-Sugar Butter
ingredients
- 4 tablespoons (72g) unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon (14g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
To Assemble
ingredients
- 1/2 cup (50g) mini chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup (70g) shelled pistachios, toasted and chopped
- 2 teaspoons orange zest
- Amarena or maraschino cherries, roughly chopped (optional)
Method
Step 1
Dust a clean work surface with flour and set dough balls at least 6 inches apart. Cover lightly with mixing bowls or plastic wrap and let dough come up to room temperature for at least 1 hour and up to 2 hours.
Step 2
Meanwhile, stir drained ricotta, vanilla, and sugar in a medium bowl. Set aside.
Step 3
Melt butter with sugar and cinnamon in a small saucepan over medium heat or a heatproof bowl in the microwave.
Step 4
Preheat your Ooni pizza oven to medium heat for 30 minutes.
Step 5
Roll or stretch dough to ⅛-inch thickness and coat with enough flour to prevent sticking. Poke dough all over with a fork to try to prevent it from puffing up in the oven. Lay dough atop a floured pizza peel and brush with cinnamon sugar butter.
Step 6
Launch pizza into the preheated Ooni oven towards the hottest part of the baking stone in the back. Cook, turning about every 30 seconds until golden brown and nearly crisp. If dough starts to puff up during baking, either press down on the dough with your pizza turner or remove dough and pierce large bubbles with a knife. Remove dough from the oven and let cool. Repeat with remaining dough.
Step 7
Spread each cooled pizza with half the ricotta mixture. Top with half the mini chocolate chips, chopped pistachios, chopped cherries, if using, and orange zest.
Step 8
Slice pizza and enjoy.
