Pizza Sticking to Oven Floor

Re: Pizza Sticking to Oven Floor

Are you sure about your temperatures... because that's a long time to cook a pizza at 800+
You should be able to turn your pie in about 30 seconds and have a cooked by in about 90.

My temps were a little lower last night -- in the 700s mostly. It was a rush job all around. Bottom line for me though was that I realized what I was doing wrong... I have a lot more practice and experimentation to do before I can deliver a consistent experience, but I'm very happy to have gotten over this hurdle with everyone's help.

At least you figured it out.
It is a learning process after all.

A fun one at that!

jdc,

Even at 700+ you shouldn't be cooking them that long. With a good floor temp after 30 sec. or so you should be good to go. Souds like you are just cooking them too long.

Hope it all works now,

Good Luck,

Re: Pizza Sticking to Oven Floor

I agree with Tom. How are you measuring temperatures? Something is definitely wrong. Sounds like your hearth is closer to 600 - maybe even less. I would suggest you try heating your oven longer. And keeping a bigger fire in it.

Good luck!
