I have been getting a lot of notes about some pics of the pizza oven in action. Sorry this has taken so long but during the build my dad was very ill with cancer and he mercifully passed on the 13the of March so this had to take a back seat. Things are finally settled down and we are getting back to normal. Thanks for all the thoughtful notes
Finally here we go with the first few times we used the oven. The first and hardest part is to learn oven management - I am getting better and learning a lot. I think I have read at least 600 posts on a couple of pizza forums
Here are two of the first pizzas and with the breeze we have here the first thing I learned is not to have the fire in the back of the oven and too spread out - lots of ash flying around
Here is a pepperoni cheese and onion ready to go
Finished pepperoni
Here is a caramelized onion and emmentaler cheese and thyme ready to go in
Finished and man this is amazingly tasty - crust could have gone another minute or two
How about a little Foccacia with Rosemary
Here are some calzones with sausage cheese onions and sauce
Into the oven
Finished - lesson - dont move them too many times or they open up
Here is our first loaf of bread - man this was good
Look out now - 4 at a time
This just seems to get better everytime we use it. Looking forward to doing some porchetta and more bread soon. Chicken not too far off, then some black and blue steaks
Thanks for looking
