Best Pizza Oven Firewood

Perhaps the most important aspect of firing a wood-fired oven is the type and condition of the wood.  The best types of wood are oak and olive.  Olive is used in pizzerias all over Italy and it tends to burn hotter than other woods.  Oak is popular because it is easier to find and it also burns very hot and creates nice embers that help maintain temperature.  Other types of wood, such as hickory, walnut, and fruitwoods, can also be used.  However, whichever wood you use, it must be well seasoned and dry.  If you use freshly cut, or green, wood, the fire will not burn as hot and it will create excessive amounts of smoke.  The same is true of damp wood.  Wood is extremely vulnerable to changes in humidity so simply keeping the wood from getting wet may not be enough.  The best way to dry wood properly is to place the pieces inside the oven while firing with the fire on one side and the drying pieces on the other.  The heat of the fire will help evaporate any residual humidity in the wood.

Pizza Margherita is a classic Italian style pizza that focuses on high quality ingredients and traditional Italian flavors. If you are looking for a heavy or complicated pizza with lots of toppings, look elsewhere. This simple yet delicious style of pizza is great for people who want the fundamental flavors of Italian cooking without a bunch of extraneous items blocking the flavors.  Pizza Margherita is a very adaptable recipe. The following is just a guideline, so feel free to make changes in order to make it perfect for you.

What you will need:

• Pizza Dough – you can use store bought, but you will get better results with ourpizza dough recipe.

•  Extra Virgin Olive Oil

• Garlic

• Fresh Basil

• Fresh Roma Tomatoes

• Fresh Mozzarella Cheese

Preheat your wood fired oven to 450 degrees or higher. The higher the temperature the less time it will take to cook. Mix in garlic, salt, olive oil, and sliced tomatoes in a bowl. Use this mixture to lightly brush the pizza dough. Then layer thin sliced fresh mozzarella, tomatoes and rough chopped basil over the pizza. Place in heated oven until the crust and cheese is a golden brown.

Turkey Cranberry Wreath

Baking in a Wood Fired Oven: After pushing the coals to the back of the wood fired oven near the wall, brush the ashes off of the floor.  The chunks of glowing hardwood coals should have little or no flame when the apple pie goes in. Every 15 minutes, turn apple pie so the other end faces the fire.


2 packages (8 ounces each)
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons honey Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper.
2 cups cooked turkey, chopped (about 12 ounces)
1/2 cup celery, sliced
3 tablespoons fresh parsley, snipped
1/2 cup dried cranberries
4 ounces Swiss cheese, shredded (1 cup)
1/4 cup walnuts, chopped
1 egg, separated



1. Heat Pizza Oven to 375F. Unroll crescent dough; separate into 16 triangles. With wide ends of triangles toward the center, arrange 8 triangles in a circle on Large Round Stone. Corners of wide ends will touch and points will extend 1 inch beyond edge of Baking Stone. Match wide end of each remaining triangle to wide end of each outer triangle; seal seams using Dough and Pizza Roller. (Points will overlap in center, do not seal.)

2. Measure mayonnaise, mustard and black pepper into classic batter bowl. Chop turkey using Food Chopper. Slice celery using Chef's Knife. Snip parsley using Kitchen Shears. Add turkey, celery, parsley and cranberries to Batter Bowl. Grate cheese into Batter Bowl using Deluxe Cheese Grater. Mix filling using Mix 'N Scraper®. Using Medium Scoop, scoop filling over seams of dough, forming a circle.

3. Coarsely chop walnuts using Food Chopper, sprinkle over filling. Beginning in center, lift one dough triangle across mixture. Continue alternating with outer strips, slightly overlapping to form wreath. Tuck last end under first.

4. Separate egg over Small Batter Bowl using Egg Separator. Beat egg white lightly; brush over dough using Pastry Brush. Bake 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Cut and serve using Slice 'N Serve®.
