Some Pizzas!

On Memorial day I fired up the oven, since I need to pratice getting the heat right and to also try the   three different kinds of dough I made--- my regular wheat Tipo 00, a rice flour (gluten free) and a no knead that I found on Facebook. They all were good but I'll stick with the dough made with the  regular Pizza Caputo Tipo 00.    

This is a brief post--- but soon I will  be putting on my final (finishing) layer on my oven.  That layer will be decorated and I'll have lots to share about that expereince.  In the mean time enjoy this picture of a truly delicious pizza--- yeah... a bit charred on one side but still yummy never the less.

 

Horno on the Horno---can you say fire me up!

Horno (/ˈɔrnoʊ/ AWR-noh; Spanish: [ˈoɾno]) is a mud adobe-built outdoor oven used by Native Americans and early settlers of North America. Originally introduced to the Iberian Peninsula by the Moors, it was quickly adopted and carried to all Spanish-occupied lands.^[1] The horno has a beehive shape and uses wood as the heat source.^[2]

Fire in the Hole (OVEN)!

Keeping the dough rolling and the sauce red... I got a plan!

I am ready, yes I am!

 The summer plan is to start firing up my baby at least once a week!  Yes, that's the goal.  So many friends want to try my pizza, and I want them too so I need to get rolling here.  The plan is to have a few people over at a time since I prefer to make my dough in small batches---mostly because I have a small mixer---but also because  I want to keep it fun, I would hate for my "love" to become a chore.  As you may know, sometimes the thing you love can become the thing you despise and I never want that to happen.  One time in my life it did.  I ate so much pizza in college, yes a lot of it was bad pizza, then after I graduated I could not eat pizza for almost two years.  It took my mother's pizza to bring me back to my senses, now I am a happy pizza eater who preaches "Pizza is LOVE!"
