First Pizza

DJHitch

I have had the egg for about 2 months now. As instructed, my first few cooks were done at low temps. So now that we have achieved that, it was time for a pizza. And was it ever good! Dough was done in bread maker. and the sauce was from scratch. The result was excellent! my wife said we have no reason to ever buy another pizza!

I bet it won't be your last.

How many did you end up making?  Looks real good especially for your first set of pies. What temp did you do these first ones at? Make certain once your end has cooled completely to give the band hardware a look see. You may need to give them an extra turn or two because higher temps will cause flex in the bands. It's just a precautionary thing to do. Enjoy

Great job! I love cooking pizza on the egg.  Did you make your own dough?

Great job!  Pizza is a family favorite!  My waist band is the only thing that keeps me from cooking it more often!

Interested in any sauce / dough recipes you are willing to share. I love cooking pizza on my egg and am always looking for ways to improve it.
Currently, I make everything from scratch... My dough recipe is from http://www.theprairiehomestead.com/2011/04/our-most-favorite-pizza-crust-ever.html . I make a sauce with several variations, the only consistent item being San Marzano style tomatoes.

@DJHitch what setup are you using? Looks really simple, I haven't tried a pie yet because I don't have a stone, 

any recomendations on how to set up the egg for a pizza cook?

I setup like the above.  PlateSetter legs up + grill + spacer (I use the BGE ceramic feet) + stone.

But you don't 'need' a stone, the kids do not like the crisp crust from the stone so sometimes i just us a pizza pan.

That's a great looking pizza.
