How To Make Ninja Woodfire Pizza Recipe

Food processor with high-protein flour, instant yeast, and water forming a rough pizza dough ball.

Step One: In a food processor, combine all-purpose flour and instant dry yeast. Pulse a few times, then add cold water while processing until a rough dough ball forms. Let it rest for 20 minutes.

Step Two: Sprinkle salt on the dough, then process until smooth, about 20–30 seconds. Check that the dough temperature reaches 75°F (24°C). Transfer to a lightly oiled bowl and knead once or twice by hand until smooth. Cover and rest for 45 minutes.

Dough balls warming at room temperature, covered, before stretching and topping.

Step Three: With lightly moistened hands, knead the dough until uniform, about 5–10 seconds. Cover and let it sit at room temperature until puffy and nearly doubled, 60–120 minutes.

Step Four: Transfer dough to a floured surface. For 12-inch pizzas, divide into four 225g (8 oz) balls; for 16-inch pizzas, divide into three 300g (10.5 oz) balls. Smooth each into a round ball, lightly coat with oil, and place in lidded containers or on an oiled tray. Refrigerate at least 24 hours, up to 4 days.

Step Five: On the day of baking, remove dough balls from the refrigerator and let them warm, covered, 1–2 hours, until at least 60°F (15.5°C).

Step Six: Gently stretch each dough ball into a pizza base. Add your favorite sauce, cheese, and toppings.

Step Seven: Preheat the Ninja Woodfire Grill. Bake each pizza until crust is golden and toppings are cooked, about 8-12 minutes depending on thickness and toppings. Remove pizza carefully, slice, and enjoy your fresh, flavorful woodfire-style pizza!
