My first woodfired brick oven pizza party!
by matthew · More by this author { 2009 January 6 }
At the start of the year my goal was to bake something in the oven before Christmas, it was my 2007 goal as well but this year I made it! Dec 14th was the day and we made about 29 pizzas on a beautiful calm and sunny evening. So the oven is not completely finished, but it works!
First pizza coming out.
The first pizza was one for the kids. The crust by the fire gets black pretty quick!
Checking on the pizzas.
Making pizzas at last!
My daughter trying to decide what to put on her pizza.
It was a great day, a little nervewracking at the beginning but once the pizzas started coming out it was all good!

I'm a very happy camper at the moment, and planning the next party and when to build the door so I can load it up with bread.

Oven brush
by Martin Prior (not verified) · More by this author { 2009 February 12 }congratulations on the oven. I notice you have large brush leaning against the oven. Is it a wire brush? I can only find tiny little barbecue wire brushes here in Malaysia. I do find it quite troublesome to clean out the oven without a nice brush.

No it's not a wire brush. I just bought a large brush with natural bristles and expect to replace it regularly. I try and move the coals with a metal rake and then use the brush for the ash before scuffling the floor. I haven't really looked for a large wire brush and just followed the example of a bakery that I visited (albeit a bakery that uses deck ovens and not a wood fired oven).
Regards
Matthew
Oven
by dimitry1 · More by this author { 2010 February 12 }Love your oven I have a same type of wood fired oven and I love to make pizza in it. One of my friends from Australia gave me a recipe for beer pizza dough it's great, also I have converted the dough from yeast to sourdough beer pizza dough love the flavor and it's easy to work with.
One of my pizzas, I also made a banana pizza it was great.
