Did I get it right: to bake a margarita at home oven with a steel plate, you need 240g of dough, 90g of toppings, bake at 230 degrees Celcius for 170 s. But in the end you will get a bad unbalanced product. Correct?

I don't know about steel plate, but on ceramic, baking at 230c is just not hot enough for good Neapolitan pizza. You want closer to 450c Sadly a typical domestic oven won't do this.

  450C is very hot, home ovens can't heat that high ... sure you meant degrees Celsius?

    > 450C is very hot Indeed. > sure you mean Yes I mean it. For a good Neapolitan pizza, yes you want 450C, C for degrees Celsius. Or around 850F Or even a bit higher: "Ultra-High Heat 500˚C (900F) - the temperature you need for crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside perfect crusts." https://uk.ooni.com/ https://uk.ooni.com/ FYI, it only really reaches 500C at the back corner, the stone is closer to 450C at the centre. Yes, a regular home kitchen oven can't reach that: mine tops our at 300C, as long as you don't open the door and put something in. Then it's more like 250C That's why it's good to have a specialised oven, either a brick and cement dome, or a "portable" Rocbox or Ooni. A home oven just can't make a good Neapolitan pizza because it doesn't go hot enough.

      Thanks ... I'll think about "portable" after moving to a bigger house)

        It's "portable" like an Osborne 1 - i.e Ooni Koda 16 weights 20Kg, without the gas cylinder. You're not going to walk around with oven and gas like it's a briefcase. But the legs fold up. A strong adult could put it (and the gas) in the boot of a car and drive over to a friends' house and set it up there. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osborne_1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osborne_1
