Pizza at AB's house.....

[taslucas]

Hey Andy. What base did you use for your pizza oven? Does it stay hot enough for continuous pizza cooking or do you have to pull the coals over to heat the base occasionally?

[taslucas]

Well.......

[AB]

If I run the fire hot for a few hours it will keep the base hot for a while. I've never done continuous pizzas before.

I think a nice roasting fire for 5 hours and then keep a steady hot ass small fire in the corner going should be ok.

I've only used normal pizzas base supermarket style so far.

In the kitchen oven I normally use pita bread for bases.

I just bought some flour and yeast for a trial run making our own dough so will try that out first and see how it goes.

If all goes well then on the morning of the meet up ill just make up about 20 balls of dough leave it all day and we can make up the bases in the church.

Ill just get tubs of goodies like ham, salami, eggplant, prosciutto, sun dried tomatos, egg, olives, anchovies, cheese, pineapple, sauces, basil, onion, spinach, rocket, chilli, goat cheese, garlic, oil, rosemary, spices, herbs, mushrooms, tomatoes and we can just make up weird Concoctions all night...lol

Any other ingredients I may have missed then yell out, ill try to keep a list.

Mmmmm tubs of goodness!

Yeah a mate.built an oven and he can.only get about 2-3 pizzas out of it before the base cools too much. Pizzas love a hot base. He used old heat bricks from around a wood heater and we think they're designed to stop heat spreading instead of holding heat like proper ones.
Do you use a tray or just authentic straight on the.bricks?

I haven't had a chance to clean out the base properly yet so there's still bits of sand stuck in the grooves.

I have been using a big pizza stone base and it works pretty good actually.

I need to go buy the proper tool though, I'm currently using a shovel to move pizzas around....lol

Yeah that pizza stone would hold the heat nicely.
Do have it in with the fire on top to heat up?
