The Difference Between Three and Eight Minutes

It took eight minutes to cook a pie in my oven. It takes three minutes to cook a pie in the wood burning oven. What a difference five minutes makes. Watching the crust rise in those first few seconds is like watching a miracle. Thin dough, inflating itself. I love it.

The higher heat has necessitated retooling my standard pizza build. I can now use a higher moisture mozzarella (good thing). I had to learn how to use a pizza peel (not a big thing). I am having to get used to having burn marks on my forearms from reaching in and out of the oven (painful thing).

  1. Looks fantastic. I can’t believe I haven’t made my way over there to try one yet. I’m a moron.
