Same here. Haven't used mine this year yetCheers. It’s a mix of ash and birch, kiln dried. Produces a lovely clean burn, decent sized embers with high heat and low ash production.

This is my first pizza cook this year, but the oven has seen plenty of action. The one thing I forgot to do was stick the Tuscan grill back in for a clean burn when the last pizza came outSame here. Haven't used mine this year yet
We use mutti sauce most of the time. Made our own this evening at the cupboard was bare!Either Caputo Cuoco or Manatoba flour at 70% hydration will do well at 250C and the dough won’t be a nightmare to work with. Both are available from AdiMaria.
I had a last minute notion for a pizza tea this morning and did an 8-hour dough with Cuoco at 65%, and it was actually very tasty.

I even went with ready made sauce! No photos of the pizza, sorry.

I try to have a couple of tins of San Marzano toms in the cupboard at all times, I don’t know why my local supermarkets don’t carry them so buying them involves a trip into Belfast. Our local M&S had them fresh last summer which was just bliss. I’m too far north to grow my own unfortunately.We use mutti sauce most of the time. Made our own this evening at the cupboard was bare!
It's when you pour water on stuff to make it wet.As a complete novice...please enlighten me on hydration!
In a nutshell, its the percentage of water to flour. Sourdough starters are 100% hydration, if you have just added 40g of flour to feed your starter, you’ll be adding 40g of water also. Most bread recipes will have between 75% and 85% the amount of water than flour (or in baker talk, 75% to 85% hydration).As a complete novice...please enlighten me on hydration!
Only the best! They need a long growing I was going to see if @Clint will try grow some for both of us on his patchWe had pizza cooked in the Ooni tonight. I forgot to take any photos of them, but here is the empty tin of tomatoes used for the sauce

Well yes there‘s a reason I didn’t go for an electric one who doesn’t like pizza cooked in a cleansing wood fired inferno, enclosed in a probably overpriced metal box.I dunno but setting stuff on fire is fun.
