Pizza

whats the cheapest way to build?

Theres some really decent tutorials on youtube, I think you could build a oven for £1/200 max.

Wow. Fab combo. Even the picture looks amazing.

but you can also get an uuni for 200 quid.

I like the idea that you can turn it into a smoker!

I'll reply properly when back in civilisation and not on mobile but that one I posted is awful. I know other folks who have built from scratch and they are miles better.

Spicy anchovies, caper berries & black olives. It's so delicious.

Just had one of those. Damn, that was good.

Slightly regretted not ordering 18". It was gone so quick...

have been looking at this one that looks easy enough....

Trying to get the ph right in a sourdough starter with 00 flour for pizza is tricky. Ultimate first world problem etc.

Matching bread ph to compliment avocado and bottled water is even harder. I'm not even fucking joking.

I can't get enough of it. My wife keeps going back to the Cour Blimey. It's all good, though. Feel spoilt to have pizza that good so readily available.

have you tried building that? I'm confused as it doesn't have a vent/chimney....surely it needs one?

Those type vent through the front door when you have the fire going. Then you rake out the fire, put the food in, plug up the door and the latent heat cooks the food.

I didn't think that would work either, but apparently it does!

Some recent efforts.
Tried a few different dough recipes - all from Flour Water Salt Yeast. I think the white loaf with biga has been my favourite so far.
Just cooked in the oven with a pizza stone.
Gonna make an oven in the garden soon I think though.

Looks great!

hmmm....

are the firebricks as per jimmy/jamie above necessary?

my plan is to lay some firebricks, then do the hugh/rivercottage method of building up a dome with a wee vent.

that should work? is there a good online supplier I can just buy materials from that won't cost a fortune to ship?

I don't really want to have to build a door...

You had my until the last pic... Pineapple.

Did pizza again, first time in months, too many months, pan method is great but I really need a proper pizza oven...

this is the conclusion I usually come to.

But this looks awesome! what's the dough? what kind of pan??

Who me?
Cheers!
Dough is Metrocamel's recommendation... something like 450g flour, 1.5g yeast, 300ml water, 14g salt.
That plus my secret ingredient.
Pan wise, cheap frying pan, heavy and shit but hot as hell...

@r_mash look up Pizza Pilgrim Frying Pan method if you don't already know it.

That plus my secret ingredient.

Gross.

cheers gonna try this asap.

seen it done with cast iron but my cast iron is small and in serious need of some tlc.
