Sardenara Pizza, originating from the island of Sardinia in Italy, is renowned for its rich seafood flavors and unique layered textures. Unlike traditional pizzas, it features sardines, onions, and tomatoes as core ingredients, combined with a crispy crust to offer a distinctive Mediterranean touch. To perfectly recreate this delicious dish, professional cooking equipment is essential. Today, we will use the Skycorps Outdoor Pizza Oven to provide a detailed guide to making Sardenara Pizza.
I. Ingredients Preparation (Approx. 30 minutes)
- Crust: 16 ounces (about 454g) of bread flour, 8 ounces (about 237ml) of warm water, 1 teaspoon of active dry yeast, 1 teaspoon of salt, 2 tablespoons of olive oil. High - quality bread flour gives the crust excellent toughness and chewiness.
- Sauce: 14 ounces (about 397g) of canned tomatoes, 2 cloves of garlic, 1 teaspoon of dried basil, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, salt and black pepper to taste. Freshly prepared sauce forms the flavor base of the pizza.
- Toppings: 12 ounces (about 340g) of canned sardines (drained), 2 onions (sliced thinly), 8 ounces (about 227g) of mozzarella cheese (shredded), 4 ounces (about 113g) of black olives (sliced).

- Others: An appropriate amount of olive oil for brushing and baking.
II. Making Steps
1. Dough Making (Approx. 15 minutes + 1 - 2 hours of fermentation)
Pour the active dry yeast into warm water, stir well, and let it stand for 5 minutes until the yeast is fully activated and foamy. In a large bowl, mix the bread flour and salt, then add the olive oil and yeast water and stir to form a dough. Transfer the dough to a floured countertop and knead for 10 - 15 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. Place the kneaded dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it ferment in a warm place for 1 - 2 hours until it doubles in size.
2. Sauce Making (Approx. 10 minutes)
Crush the canned tomatoes with a fork and mince the garlic. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan, add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Then add the crushed tomatoes, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper, and simmer over low heat for 8 - 10 minutes, stirring constantly to make the sauce thick and well - blended in flavor.
3. Topping Preparation (Approx. 15 minutes)
Slice the onions thinly. Heat a little olive oil in a pan, add the onion slices, and sauté over low heat for 10 - 12 minutes until the onions become soft and golden brown, developing a sweet caramel flavor. Open the canned sardines, drain the liquid, and gently crush the fish for later use.
4. Assembling the Pizza (Approx. 10 minutes)
Take out the fermented dough and roll it into a thin round sheet about 14 inches in diameter on a floured countertop, then transfer it to a pizza peel. Spread a layer of sauce evenly, leaving a 1 - inch edge as the crust. First, lay a layer of sautéed onions, then sprinkle with crushed sardines and sliced black olives, and finally cover with a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese.
5. Baking the Pizza (Approx. 8 - 10 minutes)
The Skycorps Pizza Oven is the key to this cooking process. Preheat the pizza oven to 550°F (about 288°C) 30 minutes in advance. The oven's unique trapezoidal design, combined with its 360 - degree automatic rotation function, ensures that the pizza is evenly heated during baking without the need for manual turning. Place the assembled pizza into the oven, close the door, and the high - temperature stone baking plate inside the oven can quickly lock in the moisture of the ingredients. After 8 - 10 minutes, when the crust is golden and crispy and the cheese is fully melted and slightly browned, the pizza is ready to be taken out.
