Re: [MBZ] OT: We talked a long time ago about the right way to make pizza ...
The extremely hot wood fired clay oven can cook a thin pizza in 3 minutes, but the more usual 500° + oven and a stone takes about 7 minutes for a nicely loaded pizza - timing being less critical, the results just as good. The only relation we have to Italy is that my wife grew up in a semi Italian neighborhood in Philly. She has developed a very good sense of what tastes good together, and we both like lots of flavor. I'm still looking for the recipe, though I think it might be only in her head now.

We have learned that you can get good results in the oven by heating the stone at 500° for half an hour, then put the pizza in, turn on the broiler, and bake/broil it for 7 minutes, or as needed. Actually, the secret to good pizza is in the dough, sauce, and toppings. Good dough (to use anyway) is made from whole grain spelt flour, the sauce is my wife's won recipe, though she uses several, and the toppings are chopped up finely and mixed together, add thinly sliced garlic on top of that, then sprinkle Italian seasoning over the whole thing. Oh yes, the mozzarella goes on top of the dough, and the grated Parmesan is the last thing added.
