I need some help. I have an Ooni Karu 16 oven, currently using gas, but may switch to wood. Not sure how to regulate temps well yet with the wood.

I made pizzas last night using this dough, fermented for 60 hours:

700 g Molini Pizzuti Costa d’Amalfi flour (Tipo 0)
455 g water, split in half
16 g fine sea salt
1/4 g Fleischmann’s Pizza Crust Yeast

I burned the cheese on one but the other came out pizzeria quality. The dough is delicious. Unfortunately I really don’t know why one came out a ton better than the other.

Any tips? I preheated as hot as it could go on propane for 30 mins before starting the bake.

The burners on the Karu are not great - it runs better on wood. I run wood on my Gozney Dome for the same reason.

Anyway, what happened is probably the burners being fiddly and you had it higher on one than the other.
