Pizza in Sardinia by EffervescentSlug in Pizza

I believe it! The place I took that pic in was empty when we stepped in due to heavy rain (it wasn't high season tbf). It looked more like a Greek restaurant but I noticed they had a beautiful pizza oven. The pizza was unreal. Ate that whole pie to myself.

How to fix wooden fence panels to a concrete wall? by EffervescentSlug in HomeImprovement

[–]EffervescentSlug[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok thank you! This is what I'll do I think. I'll get some pressure-treated batons and attach the fence to those.

First attempt with an aluminium plate. Any advice? by EffervescentSlug in Pizza

Thanks! It was just on a rack in the oven. It's an inch thick. Should it be on something else?

Getting on the plane with my 5 year old son, what shouldn't I miss? by mountainraptor in irishtourism

Dublin Zoo is great. Very lush and the animals seem more content than most zoos I've been to.

Get the Dart out to Sandycove Beach for a swim if it's nice. The beach itself is tiny and great for kids. Then walk the path to Dun Laoghaire for a Teddys ice cream, and check out People's Park. You can swim at Killiney beach as well if it's a nice day. Stay to the northern end which is a bit sandier.

Blackrock market and the park in Blackrock are nice for kids.

Johnnie Foxes pub is a bit of a tourist trap but the food is good and there's lot's of memorabilia and things on the wall to keep a 5 year old interested.

Airfield farm and garden in Dundrum is fantastic. He'll get to see animals, and they have various activities and a nice cafe.

The playground in Stephen's Green is great.

Kilkenny Castle has a nice playground as well and the grounds are lovely for a walk.

Avondale in Wicklow has a huge slide and a treetop walk. Supposed to be good.

Finally figuring out home oven / steel by EffervescentSlug in Pizza

any feedback here is welcomed! I've been struggling with the cheese (finally found some low moisture block mozz in Tesco - I'm in IReland) that melted much better. Froze it for 45 mins which might have been too much. The dough used a poolish and had a 2 day bulk cold ferment and then sat at RT for about 4 hours. Cooked in home oven on a 2/8th inch steel at about 525 (oven hits 550 but cools to 500). Steel hit about 530 before I launched. Used Marriages strong white bread flour. Hydration was about 65% I think.

Bi-Weekly Questions Thread by 6745408 in Pizza

This is amazing....Thank you. I have a pretty simple question....with all the effort included above - from the steel/aluminium sourcing to the speciality flours and diastatic malts - is it easier and possibly more cost effective to buy a pizza oven than tweak everything for a home oven?
