 The great thing about getting your guests involved with the food at a party is that it’s such fun everyone having a go, and learning about food, and there is no better food for this than pizza. Everyone can make up their own bases, kids loved this, and with a selection of traditional and unusual toppings, some great combinations can be had. This was my brother in law’s favourite, with tuna, olives, sweetcorn, and ahem pineapple. He loved it so all was good. The pizza’s cooked in my wood oven had real character, but you can cook these in an indoor oven too with the oven at maximum temperature and still get great results. The oven managed to hit the highest I’ve ever taken it, as you can see 550 deg C, on the base of the oven, super hot! You can see on the base of the pizza the lovely mix of polenta, semolina and flour that I use to dust the peel, and stop the dough sticking, a few little burnt bits, but these all add to the taste of these rustic pizza. I also included my personal favourite, loaded with a couple of different types of salami, and drizzled with chilli oil. Keep experimenting, enjoy and have fun! Cheers Marcus     |

Thanks for that matey, that was about as hot as I will be willing to go, not much point going higher really  Hope you get building again soon, not long and you'll be cooking incredible pizza yourself. Cheers Marcus |

Cheers

Wow, that looks impressive.
How much wood do you reckon you burn in that thing over a session? It looks like an awful lot.
I ask as I'd love to build one myself, but living on a small island, decent aged wood is not cheap!

Thank you, usually a couple of bucketloads will last for a couple of hours worth of pizza. It's not too bad. Can imagine getting wood on jersey is a pain.
Cheers
