I made this last week. I didn’t have a pizza stone so I used the back of a cookie sheet and draped it with parchment paper, as recommended by Smitten Kitchen (a href=”http://smittenkitchen.com/2008/06/10-paths-to-painless-pizza-making/”).

It was fabulous.

Sigh. Yeah, I’m convinced that the secret to out-of-this-world-I-can-die-happy-after-I-have-a-slice pizza is a super hot oven. As in, surface-of-the-sun hot. One that gets hotter than you can really safely do at home. Sigh again.

All that sighing aside, this method really does produce a damn fine pizza. If you give it a shot, I’d love to know what you think.

Cheers!

I need get into this more. Sure, i’ve made pizzas before, plenty of them, but I’ve never quite nailed it. My pizzas have been OK, good on ocassion, but never great, never as good as I think they could be.

I have some theories, though. I think I need a pizza stone of some kind to start with, and I spent some time this afternoon trailling around hardware stores looking for a big unglazed terracota tile that I could use. I know exactly where I could get one, but it’s in Portuagal, and unfortunately, I am not.

I read the other day about a guy who modded his oven to make it better for pizza by tripping out the thermostat so that it didn’t kick in at the top end, letting him super heat the oven way past it’s ‘maximum’ temperatures. His pizza looked superb, but I guess the fire department wouldn’t be too impressed…

That bacon looks pretty darn good, BTW.
