God I wish I had the wherewithal to do that for myself! I get exhausted just making myself coffee and a bagel every morning haha!
Downside of organic gardening. Beetles are nesting in my artichokes, and I don't mean John, Paul, George and Ringo. They don't seem to be damaging anything but I have to soak artichokes in salt water for an hour to float out the wildlife.
Awesome, for some reason I can't see the photo to see exactly which one you got. You're going to love it though, after about a year it's one of my favorite toys. I'm kind of obsessed. I'm not sure where you are at with your research and experienc, but here are a few tips from my experience. 1. you can buy premade dough, but homemade is so easy and usually better. "00" flour is absolutely essential, so if you don't have that, then order some. Your probably going to want a little semolina flour to sprinkle on the peel to help launch. People talk about poolish and vetos method, which are great, but just master the basic one-day pizza dough first. Takes about 3 hours from mix to launch. I do a 60% hydration dough, which is good for beginners. 2. Premade pizza sauce is fine for a quick pizza but make your own sauce when you can. Its super easy, sauté some garlic in olive oil, then pour a can of crushed San Marzano tomatoes in. Sprinkle some salt, sugar and pizza spices, cook off some of the liquid and you are done. Alternatively you can go rustic and get some peeled whole San Marzano's, crush them a little bit and put it straight on the pie. 3. for best results, use a block of low moisture mozzarella. Preshred stuff has some flour for anti clumping, which affects the melt texture. If you mess up and get mozz that has liquid in it, then set it on a paper towel for a bit. 4. the hardest part is the launch, here's how I do it. Lightly dust a bamboo peel with flour and semolina flour. Also lightly dust a part of the counter you are not using with flour. Stretch your dough, then before you put it on the peel, set in on the dusted counter top then put it on the peel. From there toppings on and work fast, the longer it sits the more of a chance a part will stick. When you are ready to launch, do a shuffle with the pizza on the peel to see if it moves. If something is stuck put a little flour under that part. The launch itself is more like pulling the peel out from under the pizza rather than pushing the pizza onto the stone, if that makes sense.
Thanks for the write up! I feel like I'm always screwing up putting pictures on here. I dunno what I'm doing wrong, haha. I got the Fyra 12. Well, I work at a food truck at a brewery. One of the brewers had it and made us pizza, and, being a pizza lover, my boss saw the love in my eyes and got it for me for my work anniversary! Have been making pizza in the oven for years with great results, so always do my own dough, own sauce. Got some OO flour specifically for this oven though, so am excited to see the difference. The launch is definitely the part I'm the most nervous about, having only used pans, so appreciate the pointers!! If it turns out well, maybe I post pictures nobody can see tonight!
What an awesome boss! The frya, thats the wood pellet one right? It's a popular model, interested to hear your experience with it. Sounds like you are well set up, it will be a good weekend for pizza! Launch isn't really that hard, I've only messed one up so far and it was still worth eating. That 00 flour makes really good pasta also, you can just start buying it by the case now.
I found another use for chatGBT and it's looking up recipes on the internet. If your like me then the most annoying part of finding some ingredients or a cook time is scrolling through pages of food blogger stories and pop up ads. ChatGBT cuts through all that crap. "Find a recipe for XYZ" and all you get are ingredients and instructions. If you don't like the recipe "find me another recipe for XYZ with less salt". It's really great.
I'm sure it's a me issue. I just copy and paste it from google photos. Maybe there's a better way to do it?
Yeah, google photo locked that down a little while ago. What I typically do is upload directly to s2 or imgur.
Total pain in the dick, I usually have to resize my pics also. I see it now, it's beautiful! Is that from your frya?
Yeah, that was the first one i made. Crust got a little toasty, but was delicious and super easy to do. I love this thing!
Thank you! I have the Gozny Rocbox and the launch has been the hardest part for me. Here is myy first pizza attempt: I'm going into summer #2 and hope I have better luck this year!
Yes. If you have the imgur app on your phone you can just share it to it, then copy Link. The simplest way I've figured out how to do it. Looks delicious though!
