Method

1

Prepare your pizza dough ahead of time. Our guide to making the perfect Classic Pizza Dough covers everything you need to know.
2

To prepare the pigs in blankets, our guide tells you everything you need to know. For this recipe, the pizza is cooked for slightly longer than usual, so reduce the cooking time of your pigs by 3 minutes. Allow the cooked sausages to cool before topping on your pizza.
3

For the sauce, put all the ingredients in a blender and pulse a few times until a rough liquid is formed. Transfer to an airtight container. Any leftover sauce can be kept for upto 5 days in the refrigerator.
4

Fire up your Ooni pizza oven. Aim for 500˚C (952˚F) on the stone baking board inside. You can check the temperature inside your Ooni quickly and easily using the Ooni Infrared Thermometer.
5

Using a small amount of flour, dust your Ooni pizza peel. Stretch the pizza dough ball out and lay it out on your pizza peel. With a large spoon or ladle, spread an even layer of your sauce across the base. Top with the brie slices, followed by the turkey, finished with the pigs in blankets.
6

If using gas, reduce the temperature dial to low. If using wood/charcoal, allow the flame to die down a little before launching the pizza. Slide the pizza off the peel and into your Ooni pizza oven. Cook for 3-5 minutes, turning regularly.
7

Once all the cheese is melted and bubbling, remove the cooked pizza top with the cranberry sauce, stuffing, and a pinch of dusted gravy granules. Serve right away!
