All Dressed Pizza in a Pizza Oven

32 min 4 slices Medium
All dressed pizza is a beloved classic, especially popular in Québec. This pizza is topped with a variety of delicious ingredients, including pepperoni, bell peppers, and mushrooms, making it a perfect choice for those who love a bit of everything on their pizza. Cooking an all dressed pizza in a pizza oven ensures a crispy crust and perfectly melted cheese. The high heat of a pizza oven is ideal for achieving the traditional texture and flavour that pizza enthusiasts crave.

Instructions

1

Preheat the Pizza Oven

Preheat your pizza oven to 500°F (260°C) or its highest setting. This ensures the oven reaches a high enough temperature for a crispy crust.

Pro tip: A high temperature is crucial for achieving a perfect pizza crust.

2

Prepare the Dough

Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer it to a pizza peel dusted with cornmeal to prevent sticking.

Pro tip: Rolling the dough thinly will result in a crispier crust.

3

Add the Sauce

Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.

Pro tip: Be careful not to overload with sauce to avoid a soggy crust.

4

Add Cheese and Toppings

Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then evenly distribute the pepperoni, bell peppers, and mushrooms. Sprinkle the dried oregano on top.

Pro tip: Ensure toppings are evenly spread for balanced flavor in each bite.

5

Bake the Pizza

Using the pizza peel, transfer the pizza to the preheated oven. Bake for 8-10 minutes, rotating halfway through, until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

Pro tip: Watch closely to prevent burning, as pizza ovens cook quickly.

6

Rest and Serve

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes before slicing.

Pro tip: Resting allows the cheese to set slightly, making slicing easier.

Serve your pizza with a fresh green salad and perhaps a glass of your favourite red wine. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
