Pizza! Pizza! Pizza!

lol - same
I'd like to know what the height measurement is from stone to top of opening. The Ooni Koda 12 is 82mm.

If the Milex is less than 82mm, I might not be keen.

I want to be able to turn the pizza inside the oven if possible.

Thanks.

I asked my wife if she wanted to buy me one for our 20th next month.
She said she did not...

I bought one. R4K is the lowest I have seen on this model. Defy your wife for once. Be a man. :p

@Vades - back to 4K, if you haven't bought already.


The price is up to R4999 now, https://www.servaltracker.com/products/PLID93368679/

I'll be interested to read some reviews and see how this stacks up against the Ooni. FWIW, the Koda 12" is available for ~R8k, so the Milex is not quite half the price.
Very close to half the price today. :p

Done and dusted. I guess I'm making pizza next weekend.
 
Received it last week but opened only today. Might give it a go tomorrow before we leave for kzn.

I received mine last week - happy with the build quality. Used it on Sunday and it worked well, despite my dough being sub-standard.

IR heat gun measured ~380 deg C in the center of the stone and over 400 at the back.
 
My recipe although just stolen from Alex the French dude on YouTube.
395ml water
19g salt (use caution, this is a lot of salt)
62g of zero-zero
Touch of honey to feed the yeast if it’s a fast rise.(does not make the base sweet at all)
Mix those together to “guard” the yeast from the salt.
Mix the below dry and then add to the mix.
7g pack of yeast
545g zero-zero

Makes 1kg roughly for 4 X 250g bases.
Yoh. I halved the receipe and mixture is gooey. Will keep it in fridge till tomorrow morning and see what happens. Will add flour if needed.

Gooey is good, it’s stretches better. Flour on your hands, and liberal amount on the work surface will make it easy to work with.
With the fridge, put it in before it rises and then take it out early tomorrow to rise and get up to room temp.

Edit to add: I also thought it was too gooey initially and added flour so it was easier to work with initially but it’s actually far better gooey. You just need to add lots of flour to your hands and surfaces so it doesn’t stick. This is however about playing, learning and getting a feel for the process. Be warned, one of the milestones is ****ing up a pizza. :)

Well done. At least you tried it. :) I don't have IR thermometer but will wait for 15 minutes or so.

Sounds good, will do.
 
LMAO, "Authentic New York Coalfired...Pizza" I have yet to come across a pizza place in New York that uses coal fired ovens. :ROFL:
Patsy's is one of many. Google will help you find more next time you're in New York.

I ran mine at full heat for ~15 minutes the day before I cooked with it just to burn it in.

After cooking the first batch of pizzas I realised with the specific dough I made I could have lowered the temp a bit.

There's the very highly rated Grimaldi's in Brooklyn.

And? What's the verdict? I'm very close to ordering one...
 
Instead of pizza oven how you guys finding these?

I am an avid baker and I thought a foccia or pizza as a snack when braaing would be nice but just curious how you find them
