What better way to spend it than doing some outside clean up and getting my stick burner fix in:





I also picked up this 8’ SS table for a steal:



The tables sides will get wrapped with cement board and covered in veneer stone to match the oven surround.

    Thanks John - I’m using Forkish’s “I slept in but still want pizza tonight” dough recipe.

    Well unfortunately the pies weren’t photo worthy - in all honesty they were a mess, couldn’t launch them off the peel tonight for some reason.

    Dome was around 1,250 F, thermometer embedded in the dome was reading 750 F. Now I know why the crust burns so easily on pizzeria purchased dough (contains sugar) when the dome thermometer is reading 550 F.

    Wooden peel works best to launch.  If the peel was warm from previous pies it may be the cause. All pies are photo worthy!

    I hadn’t thought of that - but now that I think about it, Frank Pepe’s in New Haven uses wooden peels to launch, metal for retrieval. Thanks for the tip.

    I’ll 2nd that. I’ve successfully launched pies off a metal peel but it required a lot of extra flour on the peel. To the point that it affected the texture of the crust. Went to wood and never looked back. Still use the metal to pull them though. 

    I’m a big fan of the Forkish recipes. The one you used has bailed me out on many Sunday mornings.
