PIZZA ON EGG (VOL 1) Vera Napoletana Pizza on the Big Green Egg by www.fredsmusicandbbq.com

We've been improving our Vera Napoletana baking setup, dough, and technique and we're getting pretty good results. Here's a couple we made in early November 2009 on our Big Green Egg "Large".. We're using that special "in the Blue Bag" charcoal and one of our 14" ceramic pizza stones. We got a good char and a pretty good corniccione. Our guests gave thumbs up!

how long does it take to bake that pizza?

[fredsmusicandbbq]

@tbursee 2 to 3 minutes

The spacer is to make the stone stay cooler so the crust on the bottom doesn't burn! Most of the time we use the 3 little ceramic feet that come with the Egg to make an air space, that seems to work best. You should check out our forum at ceramicgrillforum we have some pizza makers on there.

I used the Neopolitan recipe from Peter Reinhart's "American Pie" book.

Put in loads of fuel and let it wide open ..if your egg doesn't get to 700 or more you should call us so we can tell you what to do because it should easily get that hot! 610-796-2527

@fredsmusicandbbq Really! wow, I thought it took a lot longer. I think I need to invest in an egg.

I've been making Pizza for a while on the BGE. First time I did it I had the plate setter legs down and the pizza stone on top of that. Lets just say I destroyed my gasket. Since I live in Atlanta I went over to BGE store to get some advice. Guy said put the legs up on the plate setter, put the grate on, and then place the pizza stone on top of the grate. Lets just say.......phenomenal results.

Fred, keep up the good work....

Does the pie plate spacer make the stone get hotter somehow? Interesting idea. I have made around 30 pies on my egg using Varasano's recipe. Having a great time! let me know!
