Pizza Oven Size and Throughput
Jul 14, 2012How many pizzas can you put in a wood-fired oven at a time? How many pizzas can you make per hour? This is useful information whether you operate a restaurant or throw parties for friends and family. In general, throughput is based on concurrent places in the oven and the number of pizzas you can bake in each place per hour. I think it is fair to say that there... Read More
Dual Napoli Pizza Ovens
Jul 13, 2012This is worth sharing. Double Napoli ovens with custom tile. I will get you more details on the restaurant later. Very nice. 🙂 Read More
More on Crust and Oven Temperature
Jul 03, 2012Quick follow up on yesterday’s posting on bread crust and oven temperature. I’m not sure that you can really tell from this photo, but — it really worked. The crust is thicker and denser, it feels really good when you bite into it (crunch, but it doesn’t scratch the inside of your mouth too much), and it makes great toast! Read More
Brick Oven on Wheels Comes to Bangkok
Jul 03, 2012Very cool. The wood-fired pizza truck comes to Bangkok. Read the article in Coconuts Bangkok; or check out Pizza Aroy on Facebook. It amazes me how quickly great ideas spread around the globe. Read More
Wood Fired Paella
Jul 03, 2012This one is a keeper. I have said this many times over the years — Paella Valenciana is one of my dishes. It reminds me of long, warm summers visiting my wife’s family near Valencia in Spain, and countless memorable dinners. We had company over for dinner yesterday, and our oldest daughter is home from college, so the timing was perfect. I used Arborio rice and saffron along with chicken,... Read More
Deeper Bake Whole Wheat Boule
Jul 02, 2012This is promising. I’ve been planning on letting my oven temperature fall further before loading my bread, and had the chance to try it today. To pretty good effect. The bread’s crust is thicker and denser, without becoming overwhelming. After firing my pizza oven and cleaning out the coals, I allowed the oven to fall to roughly 500F. I will do some research on baking temperature and crumb development and... Read More
Wood-Fired Pizza on the Road in Idaho
Jun 30, 2012This wood-fired catering company uses a Forno Bravo oven from The Fire Within — and I really like how his oven looks as well (haha). Check out The Whole Pie Pizza (TWPP) in Moscow, ID. These guys are really committed to their local community, and they are getting some good press coverage as well. Read More

Fox Pizza Bus
Jun 29, 2012How cool is this. A Forno Bravo pizza oven in a double decker bus roaming the streets of Los Angles. Here is more from the Zagat Blog. “It’s the creation of chef Michael Fox who, somehow, installed a Forno Bravo wood-burning pizza oven on the truck, which he uses to cook pizzas that he hand-tosses at parties and events – and hopefully, sometime in the future, at food truck get-togethers. In the... Read More
