That is cool beyond words! Did you run it as a commercial venture?

 

[Evets]

Sort of. More like a hobby business. Never made much money, but I never really tried that hard.

 

[TrickyDick]

Very sad to see you parting with this.

I am not interested, but a friend of mine who sells trucks commercially had a customer wanting to have a custom truck with a pizza oven. I have forwarded this to his email.

Good luck


and in other news, last night made some pizza. was extremely hot in FL yesterday with over 80% R.H. to boot. I made my NY style dough with less only 60-61% hydration to try and compensate. Made 9 pies total. The last one was best, and just for me! Topping in order applied Calabrian Chile infused olive oil, pesto, anchovies, "creamy style" blue cheese sliced off a wedge in thin slabs, a few slices of super thin Italian Coppa, a few fresh red pepper chunks from the garden, and a whole habanero chile in the middle (for looks - I didn't dare eat it). The combo of the pesto/anchovy/blue cheese was amazing! Sorry no pics.

Where's pics of your pizza, PTN?

 

[italarican]

Very happy with the baking steel my wife got me for my birthday! Until we quit apartment life and can get a wood fire oven, this will definitely be my go-to.

 

[paulthenurse]

Nice!

 

[Jeffries55]

1 lbs bacon, 1 lbs organic hot italian sausage, 2 green peppers and a tomato from the garden, a "homemade" can of san marzano tomatoes, reduced in a pot and a bunch of fresh oregano and thyme from the garden with a pinch of salt, then topped with freshly grated whole milk mozzarella, more bacon, and black olives.

Pay him no mind. Evets just likes to parade that out once in a while just to lay us all flat on our backs in any pizza discussion and properly assert his dominance......

Next will come pics of his backyard pizza oven.....hey wait a minute.......aren't you the nurse with the pizza oven build??????

This is looking MIGHTY suspicious all of a sudden.......

 

[Evets]

Oh, I just you'd like to see my backyard pizza oven. I finally finished hanging the cast iron trim, which dates back to the civil war era. The icicle lights add a nice touch during those late evening pizza parties, *****.

The lights are just downright tacky... let's sticky to pictures of pie please!

I have a hard enough time keeping up with the BS between Cape and myself. I don't need another straight man.

Oh, I agree, at least during the day. But it really does look cool at night.

A cool and overcast day for August, fire up the oven! Tomato, jalapeno and onion. The peppers are smoking this year!

Damn man! Looks great! I was at the grocery earlier, this makes me regret not picking up some mozzarella and sauce!

Looks great! What's your dough recipe? I've tried a few but haven't found one that I'm 100% happy with yet.

 

[ChefRex]

That was the same sourdough 1,2,3, formula I gave you with some olive oil and a pinch of sugar, keep it on the wet side, a pain to shape as you can see but produced a nice crisp crust.

What ever happened to the loafs you made? Never saw a baked picture.

Thanks. I'll give it a try. I had never used baskets before do the first I didn't flour enough and it just kind of blobbed out. The round one tired out ok.



I made another loaf yesterday that turned out much better. Is it normal for sourdough not to rise much during baking?

I get plenty of spring, do you use any steam?

 

[PJoyce85]

I do. I have one more thing to try. While proofing, it sticks to the plastic wrap and when I peel it off, it deflates a little. I'll try to spray it with a little oil next time.

 

[Jeffries55]

My recent favorite pizza sauce has been to buy the crushed san marzanos and put in a small pot over a medium-low heat for about an hour to reduce, added fresh thyme and oregano from the garden, a little bit of garlic, and a pinch of salt... perfection!

Then I added some freshly grated whole milk mozzarella, two jalepenos sliced thinly (from the garden), and black olive.

[​IMG]

Then I topped it with 3/4 lbs of hot chorizo from the WF meat department, a ton of pepperoni, and more whole milk mozzarella.

Then the bake.. grill @ 450 for 12 minutes.

And the final product... yum....!

 

[Cheesy_Goodness]

Lost me on the olives, but other than that that's a fantastic looking pizza.

 

[paulthenurse]

Lost me on the olives...

There is something seriously wrong with you

 

[Cheesy_Goodness]

Never liked them, probably never will.
I try them every now and again to make sure my initial assessment of a "foul, concentrated ball of nasty salt" is correct.
It always is.

 

[paulthenurse]

You need to start slow. Begin in the shallow end. A place.where you are already comfortable.

Take an olive. Immerse in ice cold gin. Splash a small bit of the brine in with the olive and the gin. Slurp. Slurp. Slurp. Eat the olive. See. Isn't that better? You're welcome.

Can you do that with anything?

 

[HoppyDaze]

I like black olives plain. They dominate all the other flavors in pizza and salads so I prefer not to include them.

 

[ChefRex]

Had left over dough from the other day, what to do?


Had a bit of a blow out.

 

[cheezydemon3]

Green Olives are the SINGLE BEST PIZZA TOPPING EVER.

Cheesy, go to your room.....yes, and take that jar of olives.

 

[paulthenurse]

They're already stuffed Cheesy. Enough of that.

 

[paulthenurse]

Poll.

Best green olive stuffing...

I'm partial to garlic but blue cheese works for straight up eating.

Traditional pimento pepper for martinis.

Paul, where are the pictures of your wood fired pizzas?

With you on that!

But I think I've still got your jar..

There's a few left though, I'm pretty sure.
