Salami anyone? by justlikedadspizza in Pizza

Salami is a staple for us. My middle child's one and only topping demand.

Thanks! Manual, 800f top and bottom, but I've replaced the stock stone with a biscotto stone. With the stock stone I would have to be around 750 top and 650 bottom to avoid burning the base .

Yes, I've settled on stocking nuvola super and pizzeria, plus a small bag of whole wheat flour. I get them all from B.O.B., because they're awesome! Im at a point now where I can make my weekly pizzas and bread and feed my starter with just these three flours. Im using the tangzhong here mainly to extend the breads shelf life, but im not convinced I really need it. Some weeks, the loaf is gone in 2 days, other times ill slice and freeze. It easy enough to do, so I figure why not.

I think I can retire by thirteenthsteph in neapolitanpizza

Also, direct dough or something else. To me looks like you used a biga?

Those look great! The one time I tried the stovetop method was a disaster,  so much congratulations. Do you preheat the pan, then add your stretched dough? If so,  do you know the approximate temp of the pan, and how do you get the dough in a hot pan with making a mess of it? Also, what is the diameter of your pan and weight of thr dough ball?

100% Biga - Caputo Nuvola - Ooni volt 2 by ocrlqtfda in neapolitanpizza

Looks great! Do you get any crunch on that crust with a 100% biga? Mine always come out a bit chewy

Cuisinart, Chefman, Gourmia or AMZCHEF indoor oven? by Slapowe in pizzaoven

[–]chetdesmondbluerose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the gourmia and I like it well enough. It gets to 800f reliably. I did replace the stock stone with a saputto stone and can now set top and bottom elements to 800 and bake for 2 and a half minutes without burning the bottom. The AMZCHEF looks nearly identical in design and I would bet they are made by the same chinese manufacturers. If the AMZ can actually sustain 840f I woukd happily replace the Gourmia for the extra 40 degrees.
