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

Has anyone experience of cooking pizzas in a Weber kettle BBQ? I quite fancy the versatility but want to make sure the pizza option works well...

TIA

With regards to dough - has anyone tried the two ingredient recipe? I’ve been making flatbread with self raising and natural yoghurt and wonder if it would work for a pizza base?

I’ve been playing with Pitch’s advice to add semolina flour with mixed results.

Works better with cold proving I think.

Now using the pizzapp + app to make dough, this was tonight’s 90/10 00/semolina @ 70% hydration 3h room temp / 24h in fridge.

I make pizza on mine. It works very well. No complaints from me or the wife.

I've been toying with the idea of getting one too and they do look good but does it take long to get to temp between pizzas (and what about opening up to check progress)?

It's easy enough. Light the coals in a chimney, 15 minutes to light. Spread around the bottom of the BBQ, place in the pizza stone and 10 minutes later you're good to go.

I don't check my pizza. I just give it 4 to 5 minutes and then wip them out. If you want it more cooked, just add another minute next time.

Sure lifting the lid lets out heat, however the pizza stone retains heat. Taking the lid off to check or switch to another pizza doesn't really affect the cooking/temperature.

I found the best results were having one of the charcoal holders (small side baskets for offset cooking) on the main grill helped with top temps.

I was finding that the base was cooking ahead of the topping & cheese melting. A few briquettes up top helped balance it out.

Never did buy the Weber pizza accessory though, tempting as it was!

Thanks Mj2k - I think the side baskets method is used with the pizza stone too. I think I will get the stone and hopefully get some reasonable results. I rather like the look of some of the proper pizza ovens but, price aside, I want to sleep the number of pieces of equipment to a minimum.

My son asked for, and received one of those mini pizza ovens that sit on top of your bbq.

We use a simple dough recipe from BBC good food, a simple sauce of passata + salt + pepper + oregano, mix of mozarella and cheddar, maybe some other bits.

Tell you what, it's bloody lovely! SO much better than shop bought. Can also use the stone in our oven, great results, too.

Still no flour here. Weird how a while back there was an Allinson's factory doing bags of the stuff with no issues

A di Maria has flour, delivery next day. They are out of most 1kg bags, why not buy a 25kg bag and share with a friend/neighbour? They are only 30 quid including shipping cost and delivery is next day.

Did exactly this yesterday!

Been looking at website regularly but had been out of stock until now. Bought the ‘blue’ but out of stock again now, hopefully mine ok.
