My only question is how this all squares with the beginning of your "diet," @Duvel?


If you follow my posts you will clearly see that limiting myself to four pizzas at night can be counted as diet 😉

Duval and &droid, FWIW, I dust peel with polenta, then shape the pizza on the peel.   Less stress for me.   Then shoot loaded pizza into the oven. 

Where are you doing the above shaping and topping?  In the kitchen? Outdoors next to the oven?  

 

My Ooni has yet to ship so I'm biding my time by taking in all this excellent info and thinking about where I should set the thing up. I don't have a grill or any sort of outdoor cooking area so considering what else I want nearby.  Seems to be some sort of propane shortage around here so I should get that sorted, too.

I guess whatever size your oven, cooking at the absolute limit is going to pose some challenges. The thing I love about the koda 16 is that making a single normal sized pizza is easy - a lot easier than trying to do a 12” in their smaller ovens.

I ordered the Koda 16 but was thinking of cancelling and getting the 12.  I don't plan on making 16" pies but ordered it because of the burner config and to have a little extra room so I was especially happy to read this.  I'll stick with the 16.

True...I didn't notice too much of the cured meat platters floating around...just that one pie. Good job!

Second that …


thirded. I have a nice big countertop in the kitchen that’s at the right height for me. I make them in there then a quick step outside to launch.

FWIW I’m happy to schlep mine out every time I use it. I keep it in a big dry garden box, the gas tank sits in our shed. 
 

the 16” is pretty manoeuvrable on my own but I’ve got quite long arms so some people might find it easier with a lifting partner. 
 

I’d love to have space (and climate!) to have a permanent installation but it’s no big deal bringing it out each time. 
 

to have the whole shaping, loading, cooking and serving setup in one place I’d probably want about ten linear feet of countertop. That said, I’m a klutz and like to spread out when I cook :)

I wanted to practice on the weekend, but after two pizzas the gas was finished 🙄 …

 

62% hydration, 24h cold rise …

On its way …

… to become a aragula & parma ham pie (my moms request).

And a „pepperoni“ pie (with spicy Hungarian paprika salami, as the product „pepperoni“ is not really available here, my fathers request) …

And if you ever wondered what a pizza would look like, if cooked only on the residual heat from the pizza stone (the browning on the top was done with a kitchen torch) …

Whew! Thanks. That explains things. I was starting to think how expensive those pizzas were about to become.

I am very sure that the gas used to bring the Ooni on temperature is cheaper that heating my electric oven up for an hour to prine the pizza steel …

Yes I’m sure it is. I thought you were saying that you were only able to make two pizzas on a tank of propane!

Experiments continue on the attempt to imitate Sir Pizza pizza. I think I need to make a low hydration high gluten flour dough treated the way I did this dough.

Little balls of ricotta tend to roll when you launch the pizza - and they catch fire almost immediately.

Can do …

 

I actually have this gadget, which works pretty well. But whatever indicator you have & use, you need to check occasionally. And this is where I fell short 😉

Should I be afraid to ask what Sir Pizza is?

 

I looked it up.  Small chain in the Midwest mostly.  You would not approve
