Prepare your pizza dough ahead of time. Our guide to making the perfectClassic Pizza Doughcovers everything you need to know.
Preheat your conventional oven to 356˚F (180˚C). Add the feta, oil, oregano, garlic and preserved lemon to a small roasting tin and cover with foil. Bake for 10-20 minutes until the cheese is soft. Crush the softened feta down with the garlic and lemon, removing the skins and rind. If you find the sauce is too thick, loosen with a little water or lemon juice. Season to taste and let cool.
Fire up your Ooni pizza oven. Aim for 950˚F (500˚C) on the stone baking board inside. You can check the temperature inside your Ooni quickly and easily using theOoni Infrared Thermometer.
Stretch the pizza dough ball out and lay it on your lightly dusted pizza peel. Spoon 3-4 tbsp of the feta mix over the base, leaving 3cm around the crust. Add a generous serving of fig slices on top, followed by small dollops of tapenade to taste.
Slide the pizza off the peel and into your pizza oven. Cook for 1-2 minutes, turning regularly to ensure an even cook. Remove the cooked pizza and top with finely chopped preserved lemon and a drizzle of honey to finish. Sprinkle over chopped walnuts for an optional extra topping.
