Baking Pizza in a Wood-Fired Oven
The art of baking a perfect pizza in a wood-fired oven requires some practice and experience, but here are some basic steps to help you:Properly heat the wood-fired oven. For a perfect pizza, you need a very high temperature of about 400-450°C. Let the oven burn with wood for at least 1 hour to bring it to this temperature.
Make the pizza dough. Use a simple pizza dough recipe and let the dough rest for at least 1 hour before rolling it out.
Prepare the ingredients. Cut the ingredients into small pieces and prepare the sauce.
Roll out the dough. Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough. Do not make the dough too thin, otherwise it will become too crispy and dry during baking.
Add the ingredients. Add the sauce and ingredients, ensuring not to overload the pizza with too many toppings, as this can make baking difficult.
Place the pizza in the oven. Use a pizza peel to place the pizza in the hot oven. Make sure the pizza does not fold or the ingredients fall off.
Bake the pizza. The pizza should be ready within 2-3 minutes. Rotate the pizza regularly with the peel to ensure it bakes evenly.
Remove the pizza from the oven. Use the pizza peel to take the pizza out of the oven, and let it cool for 1-2 minutes before serving.
With some practice and experience, you can prepare perfect pizzas in a wood-fired oven that are crispy, flavorful, and simply delicious.
