The Pizza Thread.... show off...

[teknicolourfox]

Know a few of you guys think highly of the Uuni ovens. This seems a decent offer on HUKD at the moment...

My first outing with the gas burner on the Uuni. I’m impressed with the results, the heat is much more controllable than the pellets. The fact the door is kept off also makes it easier to keep an eye on the cooking process.

Edit: looks like I need practice on using Flickr!

Look good to me, do you still need to turn the pizzas multiple times with the gas burner?

[Enda]

Yeah, I was giving it a twist every 20-30 seconds.

Wasn't pizza on the bbq tonight (Just some teriyaki chicken) but with weather like this it's a must.

Those with Oonis, did you go for the Ooni 3 or the Pro? If you went for the 3 do you find you're limited by the size or ability to batch cook?

[Coot]

Have a Pro and the extra space is handy for a 12in pizza with a bit of space to play and a 2S that I've not used since as I'm 100% gas for convenience now (have a Roccbox too)
The only time I've cooked multiple items at once was a couple of folded flatbread parcels and that could have been done in the standard size.

Tried steaks and burgers in it but it makes a bloody mess and not as good as done on the egg.

If I was buying now I'd look at the Koda.

I’ve just got a normal one. The pizzas aren’t very big but that’s not a problem as they are cooked in a minute or so. I find the biggest issue is keeping up with rolling out the dough, putting the sauce and toppings on and being ready for the next one.

First go on the Ooni this evening. This was the 3rd pizza out of the oven (1st one was ok but a little underdone, 2nd one was much the same) and was the best of the 4 I cooked.

Pepperoni burned a little on the first few so I only chucked it on half way through

Looks great for first round!

That looks good, I'm dreading to think of what my first go in a wood oven would look like...

For anyone interested how to handle high-hydration dough: this guy is baking bread with 83% hydration, the result is spectacularly soft and has super-large pores. Not my style of bread, but the video is super interesting for the techniques. As I have written a couple of weeks ago, I have completely moved from using flour when handling the dough and use wet hands instead. Also plenty of folding in his process.

Just look and let yourself inspire. No more sticky dough, I promise!

Great work! I was chuffed when mine started resembling the real deal. And I bet it tasted great.

[Robti]

Just at the end of my semolina flour so can I ask if we use any special type ?
Thanks

Quick 8 hour prove today, chorizo, n’duja and a little chilli oil for dipping

The sun is shining, the DoJoe has been dug out the garage and the dough balls prepped. It feels like a pizza day

Oof just noticed this:

An interesting, if technical, article - https://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/1806/1806.08790.pdf.

Pizza porn!

I made my first ever fresh pizza today, cooking it on a pizza stone in the oven, and it was incredible. I've called it the Pizza d'Espana as it's basically a Margherita with chorizo. The pic isn't very complimentary so you'll have to take all of our words for it:

[demonloop]

We do pretty much the same pizza each week (boring I know) but they taste so good..

Pepperoni
Salami Milano
Candied jalapeños
Piquante peppers
N’duja

I'd order that in a heartbeat, all my favourite things on that!!

Got an Ooni, and here's the first pizza. Went far better than expected.

Apologies for the topping, it's my son's choice - hope no one is too triggered
