Directions
Preheat your pizza oven to 350°F (at least 30 minutes before baking).*
*As a general rule, you can bake in a pizza oven as long as the oven is able to maintain a temperature of around 350°F (180°C) for about a half hour. We recommend using an oven thermometer.
For the filling, combine the rhubarb, strawberries, zest, juice and sugar in a large bowl and let sit at room temperature until the fruit has softened slightly and released some of its juices, at least 15 minutes and up to 2 hours. Mix in the cornstarch and salt until combined.
For the crisp, combine the flour, oats, baking powder, cardamom, salt, brown sugar and zest in a medium bowl. Add 9 tablespoons of the butter and mix until crumbly. Refrigerate for 10 minutes.
Butter a 9-inch cast iron skillet with the remaining tablespoon of butter. Transfer the fruit mixture to the skillet and evenly distribute the crumb mixture over the top.
Bake directly on the deck in the center of your pizza oven. Turn the pan a few times during the bake, always being sure to use heavy-duty oven mitts or grilling gloves. The fruit will become bubbly and the top golden brown, in about 15 minutes.
Carefully remove the pan to the baking rack or trivet and let rest 15 minutes before serving. Dust the top with confectioners’ sugar, if desired.
For the yogurt, whisk together the yogurt, cardamom, zest and salt in a medium bowl until smooth. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 24 hours.
To serve, spoon some of the orange yogurt sauce into the bottom of a bowl. Top with the warm crisp.
