EASY PIZZA

Food writer Lucas Oakeley says nifty portable pizza ovens are the must-have cooking equipment for summer soirées. ‘If want to fire up the kind of beautifully blistered pizza you’d happily pay £12 for, there’s no better option.’ He rates Ooni’s wood pellet oven, £249, ooni.com (right). Try these tips from Pizza Pilgrims’ founders, Thom and James Elliot: DOUGHN’T STRESS Move quickly with pizza dough, as it can stick easily.

KEEP IT SIMPLE Use just two toppings so the dough can cook through.

SUMMER FLAVOURS Try pairing porchetta ham with sweet teardrop peppers or go all-out for a summer flavour explosion with asparagus, crispy pancetta and a lemon oil drizzle.

CALL THE EXPERTS If you don’t have a specialised oven, Pizza in the Post from Pizza Pilgrims only requires a frying pan and an oven grill. From £14.50 for two pizzas, pizzainthepost.co.uk >>
