Pizza: take two.

Pizza with my new tools!

This time I made 2 batches of dough – 1 for pizza and 1 for a trial loaf of bread to bake after the oven has cooled down from the ridiculously high temperature needed to cook the pizzas.The oven was fired up with a massive fire, causing some of the cracks to get a bit bigger :S Checking the temperature… I managed to rather singe the door…

But the garlic bread cooked perfectly! No photos of the loaf of bread I made unfortunately – It turned out surprisingly well though!

The first pizza!

The most massive fire so far, a few cracks and pizza!   

Pizza oven flatbreads

The next step in pizza oven cookery – flatbreads.

I used Hugh’s recipe, which I love as a quick and easy flatbread, perfect for testing the temperature and effectiveness of my new oven!I was worried that the oven seemed to be cooling pretty rapidly – the later flatbreads were taking a noticably longer time to cook than the first and not browning as nicely.

Ah well, we’ll see – next stop pizza!
