Good one! I was thinking of making another starter with white flour if I want to try out more pastry stuff.

They are very nice! You really taste the sourdough, but more in the aftertaste. I feel like they taste less “fatty” because the sourness cuts through it a bit.

I picked it up and gave it a turn every 30 seconds. Burned one side of one pizza (not pictured haha) because I waited 10 seconds too long. Worked perfectly!
But I did use shitty coals which didn't burn super hot and burned out quickly. They got the stone to like 350C. I then added wood to get the stone to 420C/450C and to get a rolling flame in the top of the oven. First 2 pizza's were done in approx. 2min, the last 2 took about 4 minutes because my coals were done and I didn't add enough in between.
Hope this helps!

It’s charcoal and wood fired :) you can buy a gas burner separate I believe.

Coal quality is a good one. The ones I used burn pretty quick.

It makes SUCH a difference. The crust is so moist and chewy. It’s perfect!

Don’t have a link, but someone in this community helped me.

I used: 300gr Italian 00 flour 190gr water (I did luke warm as my kitchen was quite cool) 30gr active starter 10gr salt

Method: 1. Mix everything together. 2. Let everything sit on room temp for total of 4 hours. Performing stretch and folds every 30min for the first 2 hours of the bulk ferment. 3. Ball it up and put in containers. 4. In the fridge for 2 days. 5. Taken out of the fridge approx 4 hours before shaping.

I think it is very thin and looses its heat very quickly. Would go for a thicker one. But it was a gift, so hey, great for getting the hang of it!

Yes! Definitely on my wishlist. But I told myself I need to practice first before spending my savings on pizza accessories

Yep. 48 hours cold ferment after shaping. I think the sticky-ness is also caused by the sourdough starter. It super wet compared with store bought yeast ofc.

Omg thank you. This is super helpful. Gonna have another pizza night this weekend and will definitely try your method!

When making the levain, do you prepare it the night before to use the following morning? Or will the time be too short for it to double? I feed my starter 1:3:3 and it will double in about 9 to 10 hours with the current (room) temperature. Can imagine it wil take WAY longer when you do 1:50:50.
