I’ve also come to the conclusion my dough balls were not large enough. Looking on t’web it seems for a 12″ pizza (Neopolitan) my dough balls need to be bigger. I thought at the time they seemed a bit small although exactly what weight I don’t know. So, I’m guessing they need to be about 260-280g each…what do you think?

Pompeyexile go to go net Web site go to recipe plenty on there with tips

I would imagine weight is going to be dependent on dough hydration, but 260-280g seems really light. The recipe I’ve been using (about 65% hydration) calls for 340g per 12″ pizza. Of course last night, I got my outdoor oven going for the first time this year and my pizzas were all kind of a mess. The dough really could have used a longer cold proof. Mostly I’m out of practice.

Bread pudding came out great though,

If and when I needed info, two people I asked one is on here @Systemic pizza man

@Jony - in a failed attempt at humour, I’ve managed to delete your photo in the above post - my apologies

Jony

Systemic ha ha no worries

Pompeyexile

Thanks MacPhisto, I bow to your experience and will go for the 340g and at least a 24 hour cold proof. I’ll let you know how I get on.

I’m a rank amateur (my pizzas yesterday prove it). But, it’s easier to make too much dough into a smaller pizza than too little dough into a larger pizza.

First outing with new Ooni Karu 16 using the gas burner. Had problems with it cutting out - well known problem so fiddled with it which made it better

What’s the trick to not getting it to cut out? My Koda does the same and it’s massively annoying.

Blimey Systemic! I have just spent the last five months losing weight. 16 inch pizzas! I would soon be putting it all back on. 12 inches from my Ooni Volt is big enough for me. But I have to say, the result from your Karu looks lush!

Systemic

HarveyMushman Funny you should say that. The gas burner I got with the Karu would cut out repeatedly when I first started using it. Checked the Ooni help:

Cleaned the thermocouple which didn’t make any difference. Then tightened the FSD bolt which did make a difference. Burner only cut out a couple of times whilst making three pizzas including 30 min warm up.

Lamb cutlets with mash, peas and brown onion gravy.
’Tis winter now down under and down to low single figure temperatures overnight so comfort food is on occasionally.
The Studmistress had Kofta skewers with tsatsiki and greek salad.

I’m still practising with using an upturned Gastronorm pan to bake my sourdough, this is the best result yet. It’s not been as straightforward as using a cast iron casserole dish but is less hassle and easier to store and move around as it’s weighs very little in comparison.

Dusk Looks good, I would be more than happy with a bake like that.

Two years ago I bought a Rofco B5 bread oven and I don’t t regret it.Although dutch ovens work very well I don’t t miss handling hot lids etc.🥴

My first attempt at a Greek Chicken Gyro…

Prepped….

Cooked…

Ready to put together using home-made flatbread and Tzatziki sauce and salad…

And the finished product…

I will use the words of my beloved other half…. ‘It was chuffin lovely!’

I’ve been very lazy and never made my own flatbreads but yours look awesome, what recipe do you use? I’ve tried a variety of shop bought ones and they’re always a bit disappointing
