Last min advice for pizza

Firemanyz · January 19

Good afternoon to all, I am going to try and make pizzas for the first time on the egg tonight and was looking for any last min advice. The dough will be made from scratch due to us having a gluten allergy and needing gluten free dough. How long will the pizza take to cook? I think everyone puts their plate setter with legs down correct? Does anyone have any experience with GF pizza's? Thanks in advance for any comments.

Just lit the Egg for pizza here. Platesetter, legs down, then the little green feet (or something to raise stone) then pizza stone. I use parchment paper to transfer to the Egg, and after a minute or so, slide the paper out. I go 550 - 600, and depending on thickness about 8 - 10 minutes.

I do cook PS legs down with pizza stone raised on some fire bricks to get it a little higher in the dome. Once I get it going, I'll shoot the stone with a laser thermometer to make sure it's nice and hot. Usually I let it heat for a half hour or so. I am also a part of the school who puts the dough on parchment paper to make it easier to get on the stone and turn after a few minutes for even heating. I do usually pull it half way through to help crisp up the bottom of the crust. The answer to the question how long does it take is unfortunately, it takes as long as it takes. While I don't look often, I generally cook my pizza around 600° and depending on the crust and toppings has taken anywhere between 6-12 minutes. I'll usually look after 3 or 4 minutes and give it a spin for even heating, then again at 6 or 8 minutes checking for doneness and see what the crust looks like underneath and go another minute or two more if needed. Good luck, and be patient. I've made a few mistakes along with way, but am getting pretty good at it.

What kind of flour are you using?

Not sure what my wife uses. I will find out in a min. I know sometimes we use a bobs redmill mix that is already blended. And the other crust she makes has a blend of flours in it

I don't know about gluten free but with the pizza dough I make it is best if I make it the day before we bake the pizza.

Some flours take a little longer to cook. Quinoa, millet and corn for exapmple

I do it PS legs up, the grate on the legs and pizza stone on the grate (or on the feet to get it a little higher) - doesn't seem to concentrate the heat on the gasket that way - I put the pizza on parchment paper to get it on the stone and then pull the parchment after a few minutes - total cook time should be about 10 minutes at 450 degrees - make sure the stone is up to temperature - probably let it heat up for at least 30 minutes after your egg gets to 450

Looks Great!

First pizza is done. Second just went on. Have to say bit of first was GREAT. Problem with gluten free pizza normally is it is to moist. Egg cooked the water out of it @ 600 degrees.

All I can say is yum. Five pizzas later my wife was glad I pushed her to let me cook them on the egg versus the oven.

Nice cook. Glad the GF worked out.
