Comments

 

​Pizza:
The ideal temperature for cooking pizzas is around 350°C.
​
Start the fire, see  how to start the fire  and also handy is instructions for use and handy tips.
Keep the fire alive while cooking the pizzas. The temperature should be around 350°C.
To cook pizza, it can take from 2 to 3 minutes, depending on the thickness of your dough.
Keep the door closed to keep the oven at the right temperature.
You can check the status of your pizza through the viewing window in the door. Only open
the door to take out the pizza.

Then close the door again and add a small piece of wood until you have your next pizza ready
to bring in the oven.

Remember to turn the motor off and on when putting the pizza in and taking out the oven.

Bread:
The ideal temperature for baking bread is around 240 - 260°C
For bread no flames are required, just embers.
The oven door and the chimney valve need to be closed while baking bread. You can check
the cooking process every now and then through the viewing glass.

It takes about 30 minutes to bake an average sized bread of around 500g.
Bread baked in a wood fired oven has a crisp and friable crust, and the inside is soft and delicate. It requires some discipline with the right temperature, and you do need to carefully oversee
the entire process. But then, the moment you take the bread from the oven with the shovel
​is incomparable: the delicate aroma fills the area and “speaks” of healthy, wholesome and appetising preparation of your daily bread...
