Looks good Mam. I just knew that wood fire would be good too for pizzas. But for more idea, you can check www.nypizzeria.com for they also do coal fire on pizzas.
Hi Wendy and all pizza lovers.
Before we built our wood fired oven, there were a few things i did to help give our oven cooked pizza a more traditional flavour. Hope these ideas help you
*buy a big unglazed terracotta tile from anywhere that sells tiles. Heat it up to high heat in your oven, scatter some polenta or flour on it and cook the pizza on it. This is much cheaper than a pizza tile and should it break, your heart wont.
*buy some smoking chips from a bbq retailer and place some of the chips in an alfoil envelope that you have pierced some holes into. Place it onto the bottom of your oven (if you dont have an element there)The chips will emit a smokey smell and impart the flavour to your pizza not dissimilar to the flavour of a woodfired oven.
*buy fresh wonderful mozzarella. I dont think it has to be buffollo but if you can afford it, do! I usually use a fior di latte, a cows milk version which is half the price but truly delicious. Tear it and add to the pizza only for the last 90 seconds of cooking time or so with some fresh basil leaves. Its milky smoothness will make you cry. Italians speak of the 'lacreme', the 'tears' of the mozzarella when you tear it. When i first used it to make my pizza, it wasn't only the mozzarella which shed tears, i was so greatful that finally my pizza was amazing.
*If you have a woodfired oven, try throwing in some smoking chips onto the burning pile for the last 30 seconds of cooking time. I like cherry bark chips. They breathe a smokey whiff over the top of the pizza infusing the cheese with a wonderful smokeyness. As i rarely have anything on my pizza other than tomatoe, origano, mozzarella and sometimes basil or olives, i like the variation the woodchips add. Thanks Andrea for teaching me this.
I hope this helps!
It's great to see pizza made the traditional way. Has anyone tried the pizza that are sold today. Tasteless! It's all about the money and how fast money can be made. These new conveyor belt pizza's should be banned. I'm so glad that in your pizza you made in our 2nd episode was in the traditional manner and I hope it is also done the traditional way at your restaurant. The is no more good quality pizza to buy today. I now make it at home. I don't have a food fired oven (the best way to cook pizza) but an oven is better than the conveyor belt.
