Evening all
Just finished a vermiculite pizza oven, fired it up and cooked tonight with reasonable results.
I used ciabatta flour from Shipton Mill for the dough which I’ve used in a conventional oven with great success. Tonight, however, it made a really heavy pizza without the lightness and crispness I was used to.
I’d be keen to know what other flour people have used to get a nice thin, crisp crust?
The next batch will be made with French T55 flour which I use for all my bread, again from Shipton Mill.
Thanks in advance
Mark

I'm afraid to admit that all I've ever used is Allinsons 3kg bags of strong bread flour from Tesco and standard plain flour in the ratio 2-1, with a handful of fine semolina thrown in for a bit of crunch.

Thanks for your input, fired it up last night using French T55 and was vastly improved over the original effort. I’ve not seen Caputo before - is that an eBay job? I’ve got a good Italian deli near me in Maidenhead which might stock it.
