9 Essential Wood Fired Oven Recipes for Any Occasion

Having an outdoor wood fired oven is a great way to bring people together for food and fun. Wood fired ovens can reach extremely high temperatures, allowing you to cook authentic stone-baked pizza and other dishes quickly. Beyond pizza, wood fired ovens are incredibly versatile and can be used to prepare a wide variety of recipes. Here are 9 essential wood fired oven recipes to try for parties, holidays and any occasion.



List of Recipies you can Cook on Wood Fired Oven 

Here are the various recipes you can cook in outdoor kitchens by using a wood fired oven:

Margherita Pizza

No wood fired ovens recipe roundup is complete without classic margherita pizza. For this simple crowd-pleasing pizza, you’ll need dough, crushed tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, basil, olive oil and salt. Outdoor pizza ovens are perfect for cooking pizza because they can reach temperatures over 700°F, allowing the crust to crisp up quickly. The high heat also melts and blisters the cheese beautifully. For best results, cook the pizza for just 2-3 minutes until the crust is charred and the cheese is melted and bubbling. Top with fresh basil and a drizzle of olive oil when it comes out of the oven.

Grilled Vegetables

One of the benefits of outdoor pizza ovens is that in addition to baking, you can use them for grilling. Take advantage of the extremely high temperatures to char and caramelise grilled vegetables. Try thicker veggies like zucchini, eggplant, bell peppers, onions and asparagus. Coat the vegetables lightly in olive oil and season with salt, pepper and any other spices you like. Grill the vegetables for 3-5 minutes on each side until beautifully charred. The natural sugars will caramelise giving the vegetables an incredible depth of flavour. Grilled vegetables are amazingly served on their own, in salads, flatbreads, pasta and more.

Steak

For the ultimate steak experience, try grilling thick cuts of meat like ribeye, New York strip or filet mignon in your Bull BBQ Carts. Get the oven blazing hot, around 600°F or higher. Cook the steaks for just 2-4 minutes per side depending on thickness. The high heat will sear the outside giving you a perfectly rare to medium rare steak inside. Let the steaks rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Add smoked sea salt and black pepper to highlight the flavour of the seared meat. Grilled steak cooked in an outdoor pizza oven is hard to beat.

Chicken Wings 

Game day isn't complete without hot and delicious chicken wings. A bull BBQ cart wood fired oven allows you to crisp up dozens of wings quickly for the perfect crowd-pleasing appetiser. Season the wings with your favourite spices like smoky barbecue, lemon pepper or Cajun seasoning. Grill the wings for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through until the skin is crispy. The high heat will lock in the moisture while rendering out the fat for tender, juicy wings with crispy skin. Serve with your favorite dipping sauces.

Burgers

For the juiciest burgers, try cooking them in your Bull BBQ Cart. Get the oven hot, around 500°F. Form the ground beef into patties and season the outside with salt and pepper. Place the patties in the oven for about 5 minutes per side. The quick cooking time at high heat will sear the burgers leaving them juicy and pink on the inside. While the burgers are grilling, toast some buns in the back of the oven. You can add cheese, lettuce, tomato or any other favourite toppings. Wood fired burgers are an easy and delicious option for quick weeknight dinners too.

Garlic Bread

Warm, buttery garlic bread straight from the wood fired oven is divine. Start by mixing softened butter with minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, pepper and any other seasonings you like. Slice a baguette diagonally into 1 inch slices. Spread the garlic butter generously on the slices. Place the garlic bread directly on the oven floor or use a pizza peel to transfer it in and out. Cook for just 1-2 minutes until toasted. Rotate the bread halfway through for even cooking. The wood fired oven puts the perfect char on the bread and melts the garlic butter beautifully.

Skillet Nachos

For easy nachos in your oven, use a cast iron skillet. Layer the nacho chips in the skillet and top with shredded cheese, beans, salsa, jalapeños and any other favourite toppings. Place the skillet in the hot oven for a few minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Top with guacamole, sour cream, cilantro or any other desired toppings. The cast iron skillet becomes sizzling hot in the oven for perfect nachos. Just be sure to use an oven mitt when removing the hot skillet.

Roast Chicken

Tender and juicy roast chicken is simple to make in wood fired ovens. Season a whole chicken liberally inside and out with salt, pepper and any other spices you like. Truss the chicken and place it breast-side up directly in the oven. Roast at around 375°F for about 1 hour until completely cooked through and the juices run clear. The high heat will give you a beautifully browned exterior while keeping the meat incredibly moist and flavorful. Let rest for 5-10 minutes before carving. Roast chicken makes for amazing sandwiches, salads or served on its own with sides.

Fish

Outdoor pizza ovens are amazing for cooking fish fillets or whole fish. The quick cooking gives you moist, flaky fish without overcooking. Try meatier fish like salmon, cod, halibut or sea bass. Brush the fish with olive oil or melted butter and season with salt, pepper, herbs or citrus zest. Place the fish directly on the oven floor or use a cedar plank for added flavor. Cook for about 10 minutes at 450°F depending on thickness, until the fish is opaque throughout. Baked fish tastes amazing served on its own, in tacos, sandwiches or on top of salad or grains. 

Final Thoughts 

Wood fired ovens allow you to cook incredible recipes from pizza to steaks, seafood, vegetables and even desserts. With proper care and maintenance, a wood fired oven is a smart investment that will provide you with delicious meals for years to come.
