Topic: Pizza from scratch

[StoneCut]

I linked to that PDF somewhere within this thread

I recently did a comparison of Tipo 00 flour and our german Type 405 - the flavour was very much alike but the pizza turned out better with the 405. Who would've thought? I'll do a more elaborate comparison another day with more flour types and hopefully not forget to snap some pictures again.

Today, I tried the "Pizza Pilgrims" method of baking pizza in a frying pan (and then a grill). You can find the method, I used my own dough, though:

This is the resulting Pizza:

And here are some Tocchetti (deep-fried pizza fingers) that I also made:


My daughter loved these

SC,
That is a fantastic looking pizza. It reminds me a lot of one of my favorite italian restaurants around here. Did you get your breston yet?

No, I'll order mine at beginning of September. This one was prepared in a hot pan and then placed under the grill. Total time about 5 minutes.

Anyone seen one the Uuni ovens in use yet?

That looks intersting indeed but I still wouldn't know where to put it, I surely wouldn't want to fire that up in my flat... And if you have the room then why not simply build a proper Wood-fired oven yourself?

3 minutes baking time is also way too much for a Neapolitan-style Pizza that he claims it's capable of making - Neapolitan pizza bakes for 90 seconds or 2 minutes maximum. I can currently make a pizza in my modded G3ferrari Napoli in less than 3 minutes already, although it won't have that wood-fired oven taste. Most of the taste comes from proving the dough for a long time and not the burnt wood, though.

If I had the money that the Uuni costs I would buy an Effeuno P134H instead:

For now, I've ordered some more heating elements for my G3ferrari and will mod it even further. I'll upload a picture of my Pizzas once I'm finished with that and messing about with different types of flour.

If you do come across any videos of the Uuni I'm definitely interested, though.

To be honest I only posted it as I though it would be of interest to the Pizza lovers of this forum. Novel idea though.

Here are some pics from today's pizza - oven still only at M1 stage mod but pretty decent I think.

They look massively good  ;D

Here they are resized to 720 pixels wide and saved for web.

Nice pizzas. I'm going to have to have a bash at these.
