Pizza tips
« on: July 09, 2014, 07:16:35 AM »
Wondering if anyone has any pizza making tips on the OTG.

Temp? Time? Crust recipes? (or best pre-made crusts)

Any info appreciated!

Lift the stone off the grill so you can slide it off onto a cookie sheet. Also heat the stone for at least 10-15 minutes.

I preheat my pizza stone in the oven while I'm lighting my coals. I'm ready to cook a few minutes after dumping and heating kettle. It ready helps when I'm the wife and I are hungry

I elevate the stone off the grate and let the stone preheat for 30-45 min. My stone temp is around the 500* range and air temp above the stone is about the same. This book is what I use for dough and sauce recipes. I recommend it.

Elevate the stone so you get even cooking on top and bottom.
I go 3-1/2" up or so.

Great info Buckie!!

There's a lot of setup that needs to be done. This is a great place, I'm sure you'll get it if you ask specific questions.
After all that is done, my tips:
Cheese bubbling = Pizza's done.
Wait a minute or two before cutting the pizza.

 I think I searched      Kettle Pizza      just like that, no quotes or in a kettle or other stuff......

The search function is a bit odd in that it won't take a single letter so ya have to think of how to word things 1st.....

this thread alone has a bunch of great pointers !!!!

Keep it comin' gang !!!!
