The first pie has been cooked! We had a pizza night this weekend. I ended up making 3 pizzas. The pepperoni in the pictures was the first one cooked. I’m very happy for the first go at it, I definitely can improve the dough. I started with a fairly low hydration (58%), 24 hour proof, which I read would make it easier to handle the dough while I get the hang of it. It was a little more dense than I like. I will try a higher hydration next time.
I finished grinding and polishing the concrete countertop landing as well. It still needs to be sealed before final installation. I’m happy with how that came out. It is pretty exciting to move from making a functional wood fired oven to making it look nice. Lots of brick and stonework to go, most of which will need to wait until spring when it gets warmer.
