Cooking Equipment / Re: Hotel's wood burning stove
September 06, 2013, 01:14 PMQuote from: George on September 06, 2013, 11:27 AM
where the wood would go, and where the smoke escapes? Interesting.
The wood would go in the top bit and the smoke would escape out the bottom

I reckon he puts a Peshwari filling inside the dough and cups it up and around so that it evenly distributes the filling when he is rolling it out.

I am willing to wager 1 pounds stirling, for photographic evidence of the olives, including the bill, tomorrow.
Rob, I wasn't questioning the veracity of your statement I was bemoaning the use of black olives in any form of BIR cuisine.
Not sure where the olives came from. The waiter might have picked a few up for me from the salad bar they have. Also do a Russian salad apparently. Defo a proper BIR place this though. Full range of dishes and a lot more. Going over tomorrow for lunch. Can't make up my mind what to have. Fancy the Bangladeshi fish dishes, but the Friday buffet menu is also looking mighty tempting:

Nice Menu, I wish I could pay them prices and get them dishes here!
I only have one problem with that menu. I hope the garabi (gravy but I can't pronounce it) lovers don't start calling a dessert a dessart!

Good effort willy, looks great. Regards the paddle release, I use a combination of flour and semolina on the paddle and quite liberally too, sticking is a pain in the ass, especially with a wet dough!

Why not buy a couple of cheap Pizza Pans, most real life Pizzerias use them.
Make life a bit easier, me thinks
Was in a local Italian restaurant last night, grabbed a video with my iPhone,
went a bit wonky, but shows making a Calzone, with a twist.
The Pizza Dough is very simple, 00 flour, fresh yeast, salt and good olive oil.
proved for around an hour, ready to go and very tasty.
cheers Chewy
Hi,
I have thought about using pans, I have some good quality ones I use for cakes etc, but I like the way the bottom crisps up just right on the stones when I get the release from the paddle right, really thin and light, not too crispy but firm enough to pick a slice up without too much bend in it. I always found when doing them in a conventional oven getting the middle cooked was difficult but in this oven I have had no problem at all.
Interesting Calizone I might have a go at making one.

Hi,
Here are two pictures of the Pizza oven. As you can see it is a gas one. It can get up to about 700F but I generally cook at about 550F which cooks the pizzas in about 4 minutes but it needs 25 minutes to get to about 600F then by the time I get my pizza off the paddle it drops to 550F :

Hi,
Enjoyed reading this thread as when I bought an outdoor table and chairs I got a free pizza oven thrown in
. I have used it a couple of times now and the pizzas are fantastic, much better than Dominos etc. I have only tried the Jamie Oliver recipe for the base and sauce but with great success
I have though made a few calizones but unintentional! ;D the pizzas are a real pain to get off the paddle but I am getting better...ish at it.
These are infact the first Pizzas I made in the oven, not round but very very tasty
cheers,
Will
