Many years ago we decided to start a family tradition of making pizza for New Years. Our first year was more of a disaster than one could expect. Boxed dough and premade sauce with really bad pepperoni. I am surprised we didn’t quit and just go out to dinner.
Fast forward 12 years of pizza making.
We got serious about making pizza over the next decade. I think the dough is the key to a great pizza, but my wife Amanda feels that it is the sauce. So together, we have each mastered one key of a great pizza.
A wood fire pizza oven.
Last year we purchased a wood fire pizza oven to be able to get high temperatures to make our pizza. This oven will hit 700 degrees pretty easily. Pizzas cook fast, but there is a learning curve to a wood fired master pizza. I have added a few pictures of our pizza oven. Don’t worry more pizza articles are coming.
The featured pizza in the article is the one I made for breakfast yesterday. I took the leftover dough and made 4 pizzas. Everybody got one of their own, but I made a large delicous pie!
