Welcome...

There are so many variables that go into making a PIZZA. The hydration of the dough, flour, yeast and many more.. Amounts of any kind of yeast in a pizza can make a big difference. Most recipes posted on the web, use too much yeast in their recipes. What I have found out so far, is either bulk fermenting the dough or cold fermenting the dough will give a better flavor in the crust. I am still experimenting to find different flavors in the crust of pies. In my opinion pizza is all about the best flavor you can achieve in a crust. I still am on the journey about flavors in the crust. Even differences in temperatures in you home or times of the year can influence how much yeast to use. If you want a pizza to develop flavors in the crust, there are many ways to go about achieving this.

Neapolitan Pizzas in the Blackstone pizza oven with Firebricks

I put the firebricks back onto the platter.  I was curious as how the firebricks would bake Neapolitan pizzas.  The bakes went generally okay, but the dough was highly extensible.  It was also very sticky.  There were two launching errors, (because the pizzas stuck to the peel a little), and the third pizza also had a sticking issue on the peel.  The pizzas tasted good though.  It took a little less than ½ hr. for the firebricks to get up to 756 degrees F.  The first bake was done at that temperature.  The second bake was done at little over 800 degrees F.  I thought that was a little too hot so the last bake was done a little under 800 degrees F.  

When the first pizza was sliced it flipped and half fell on the ground.  The ants quickly found it.  

In my opinion the last NP pizza was the best in terms of taste.  I really liked the Buffalo milk mozzarella mixed with the grated Manchego cheese.  The taste was really buttery.  The Chorizo was also good.  There was some fresh oregano from the garden applied after the bake.

I need some more practice making NP doughs and pizzas.  Dang it was hot out and especially being so close to the BS.

A video of the BS heating up.  When the bottom stone was about 730-740's the top stone was about 870 degrees F.  I couldn't keep my hand close enough to get more temperatures.
