Another Friday night of yummy homemade pizzas. But in a fan conventional oven the base doesn't just quite crisp up. Might be time to complete the stw line up (have the wood burner, gin, bikes, various espresso formats, Rapha mug 😆 )...what pizza stone?
Any floor tile you pick up as a sample for free from a tile shop will do. First time round ramp the temperature up slowly in the oven over 30mins or so or it can crack
Edit: I hang an extra couple off of the main racks in the oven using bits of wire to create extra 'shelves' for even more pizza
Burps and reaches for more pizza...
Cheapest you can find on amazon unless Aldi or Lidl do a deal soon.
Aldi one for me.
Aldi one is doing well here. As a bonus it comes with a pizza blade which is nice.
Reality it's a stone
What I can tell you is don't heat it up and remove from the oven to put your dough on then forget the oven glove.
The blisters are only receeding now.
Heat a cast iron pan on the burner, cook underside of pizza on that then transfer the pan to under the grill and cook the top.
Only if you want one at a time 🙁Heat a cast iron pan on the burner, cook underside of pizza...
Otherwise, floor tiles ftw

Top tip, for a crispier base, pre cook the base with just the sugo on it, then add your mozzarella and toppings and finish off.
I make a big batch of dough n sugo, and pre make a few for the freezer too, then midweek pizza only takes a few minutes.
Edit - Terry, that sounds sair as ****
Yep, cheapest option here too.
I have discovered they work very well on the barbecue too. Yum.
Bit sad I've had my tea now.
I have a Weber pizza stone for the BBQ. Great job as long as you pre heat it for 15 mins before using it.
Heathens the lot of you. You can't make properly good pizza in a domestic oven.
Yes, you can. Perhaps you can't.
Thanks all. Cheap and cheerful it is.
Measure your oven
Go to b&q and by a good thick stone patio slab, the biggest that fits
Plus don't even think about taking it out hot. Buy or make a peel. I made one from a bit of ply any 2x2 I had in the garage, still using it 5 years later.

Absolutely. £4k on a cooker is definitely the way to go over a £10 pizza stone 😀

This is STW. Surely complete overkill and technically correct but entirely unhelpful suggestions are obligatory.
Really does do nice pizza though.
I fully support the aga route (my parents have one) but by the time I've paid for the unit, install and the running costs, I could order take away for the rest of my life 😆
