Ooni Koda 12 | Clam Pizza | Inspired by New Haven Apizza

Follow
Cooking with Chef Tuan

Welcome to my channel @cheftuan Today we will be making a #clampizza with flavors inspired by Frank Pepe's in New Haven, CT. I know this isn't cooked in a coal fired oven, not all of us are blessed to have one at home. My Ooni Koda 12 did a great job and this turned out great.
One variation I made was that I caramelized some of my garlic in olive oil for that nutty, toasty, sweet flavor. And the other part of my garlic, I cooked just so briefly in the same olive oil to take that sharp bite off of it. I feel it creates a greater balance to the apizza. BUT, you can go full raw dog #garlic if you are so inclined to do so! Scroll down for complete recipe.

Pizza Ingredients for 1 Pizza: (Dough recipe below)
* 230 g dough ball
* 2430 freshly shucked clams
* 2 tbsp chopped garlic
* 6 tbsp olive oil
* 1 tsp dried oregano
* 34 tbsp Pecorino Romano
* 1 tbsp fresh chopped parsley for garnish
*(optional) Lemon wedge

This step is optional, but I think it is optimal.
* I heated up the olive oil and cooked HALF of the garlic to a nice light golden brown. Turned off the heat and added the rest to take off that aggressive raw bite of garlic

My pizza dough recipe: (makes roughly three, 230g portions)
Link to video:    • BEST PIZZA DOUGH. Cold, Slow Fermenta...  
415 g bread flour
270 g warm water
1 g instant dry yeast
9 g kosher salt

* Mix ingredients and knead to form a smooth dough ball. Put in a greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap and put in fridge for 24 hours.
* 2 hours before baking, take out dough and portion into 230 g dough balls. Leave on a floured surface or container to warm up and proof. 2 hours will give you the best puffy results. Now stretch, assemble and bake your pizza.

I baked mine with the stone temperature at 700F with the gas turned halfway down once the pizza was launched. This took 2 minutes. Once cooked, slice it up and enjoy with a lemon wedge.
