Ingredients

  • 8 ounces pizza dough
  • 1 tablespoon all purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon cornmeal
  • 2 tablespoons pesto sauce
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 cup mozzarella shredded
  • 4 ounces asparagus chopped into 1/4-inch pieces
  • 1/2 cup diced ham
  • 1/4 cup sliced red onion
  • 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Heat your Ooni Pizza oven as per the manufacturer's instructions.
  • Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface. Sprinkle the pizza peel with cornmeal and transfer the rolled dough to the pizza paddle.
  • Mix the pesto sauce with the olive oil and brush it over the top of the pizza dough.
  • Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top of the pizza then add the diced ham, chopped asparagus, and thinly sliced red onion.
  • Transfer the pizza to the pizza oven and cook for 45 seconds and then use the pizza paddle to turn the pizza 180-F and cook for another 15-20 seconds or until the pizza is hot, bubbly on top, and cooked on the bottom.
  • Remove the pizza to a cutting board and cut the pizza into 8 slices.
  • Sprinkle the top of the pizza with Parmesan cheese, and enjoy!

Notes

Chef Jenn's Tips

    • Make sure the pizza will slide around easily on the pizza paddle or you'll never get it off and into the pizza oven. Cornmeal works wonders for this. Sprinkle some on the top of the paddle before laying down your pizza. Add more as needed to keep your pizza dough loose and easy to slide.
    • Don't add too much to the top of your pizza or it won't cook properly. Ooni ovens like lightly topped pizzas versus fully-loaded ones.
    • Turn the pizza as needed, with the pizza peel, for even cooking.
