Used flour and cornmeal on the peel. Also tried to use a little more flour on the dough. No problem sticking and was able to throw pizzas as big as the small peel. Only problem the bottom had too much flour on it when eating. Oscar Meyer all beef premium hot dogs and green pepper variety from garden. Nothing but the best you know. 2 out of five was circularish. I think I'm going to try to experiment with cooking it a little longer. Bread machine dough meh.

Failed on a whole wheat. Too dense and bread like. However, it sure slid off the peel. Haha. I vote for semolina on that. Tasted good too. Usually use ww for my poolish so it makes up around 20% of my final flour... But at 100%, different story.

Did a fast ferment on this dough. Mixed some homemade pesto in with the dough. Chicken, pesto Gouda, mozz, olives, sun-dried tomatoes and basil from the garden

Italian sausage, red onion, roasted garlic and fresh basil; tweaked my dough recipe a bit with all bread flour this time, salt and olive oil, turned out great.

Had some friends over on the 4th for pizza. The last 2 of 9 pies.

It's been some time since I last posted updates on my product. It's getting close to our kickstarter campaign now. This pie was made without an oven, using only glass cooktop in my kitchen. Cook time 3 minutes, max. temperature 460 celsius (aprox 860F).

What do you think?

Got some Neapolitan dough fermenting for Sunday. I will be cooking it in a real oven vs. the stovetop which I reserve for grilled cheese sandwiches.

 

[NinjaMig21]

I don't get it.

It's a product I'm working on. It's basically a steel pan/skillet with a steel lid. You heat it on your stove, throw in the pie and cover it for 3 minutes or so.

I really hate waiting for my oven to heat up, especially now in the summer, so I had to do something. This thing heats up in less than 10 minutes, while im making the pizza and the final product is decent enough, I think

My wife bought me a pizza oven for fathers day and I am finally going to try it out this weekend. This thread is great! Going to try to no knead recipe.

Pictures of often alluded to pizza cooking gadget are not loading for me.

A friend of mine got a pile of these 12X12 pans at an auction and gave me two. They're old Little Caesar's pans. I cleaned them up, re-seasoned and made a couple sicilian pies last night. Plain cheese and pepperoni.

Wouldn't a big old cast iron pan with lid do that?

Cheese pizza? Honestly, what's the point? Discuss.

This coming from someone from Wisconsin? What is this world coming to?

To top it off I live in an old cheese factory. But seriously, I don't dig plain cheese pizza. Always missing something.

Missing what? More cheese?

I'm usually a sausage pizza eater, but a good cheese pizza hits the spot sometimes.

Meat of some sort. And onions.

You can't cook the top side with a cast iron pan. You could cook the crust on one side first, flip it and then fill it, but it's not really practical and the results are not always great.

You have to have a very hot lid that radiates a lot of energy from as close as possible.

Meh. Call me boring. I like vanilla Ice cream too.

Hey now, I've had some damn good cheese pizzas. After All, there are a few cheeses available out there to play with!

love it! best oven for pizza if you cannot afford a wood fired oven.

 

[LakesideBrewing]

A well made cheese pizza does not lack anything. I personally think that people load too many items on their pizzas most of the time. Simple, perfectly executed food always taste the best.

I'm betting that a heavy cast iron pan with a heavy cast iron top, preheated in a very hot oven, would cook pizza evenly top and bottom, and better than any stovetop arrangement. But I have not tried it.

I've baked bread that way in a cast iron dutch oven ala "Tartine", but never pizza.
