Pizza Fun & New Friends At Ocean Cove, CA

Dutch Oven Pizza

Cut a piece of parchment paper about 2" larger than the diameter of trimmed pizza dough and set aside
Roll the dough out flat
Trim the dough to a diameter which is approximately 1/2"-1" larger in diameter than the inside bottom diameter of the dutch oven and dock each side with a pizza docker or fork
(Watch for upcoming artisan pizza videos... We'll be making dough from scratch)
Sprinkle the dough with course ground corn meal and place circular cut parchment paper over the formed pizza skin (Dough) and invert, so the parchment paper is on the bottom
Using a pizza peel, guide the parchment paper and dough into the oven
Form the edge of the dough against the wall of the dutch oven to act as a reservoir
Brush the edge of the dough with olive oil and add pizza sauce
Add a generous amount of cheese
Add toppings and sprinkle light amounts of cheese between different toppings to help hold toppings in place
Finish with a light sprinkling of cheese.
Bake pizza hot & fast.
(Using a 14" dutch oven, place approximately 25 briquettes under the oven and place approximately 40 briquettes on the lid)
Bake pizza for approximately 18 minutes
When pizza is done, remove from oven using a pizza peel
Let hot pizza set for a few minutes before slicing
Enjoy!!!

What do you mean by " one rotation"??

[outdoorcastironcook]

@upnorthof60

Rotation refers to rotating the lid one quarter turn and the base the same, but opposite direction. Provides for more even heat distribution. I tend to do this (rotating) more for baking than any other category of food cooking. Many cooks just replace a lid in another direction after they have checked on their food. I also know many in our dutch oven club have a memory minder of clockwise/counter when they replace their coals.

I did some bartering to have the table top fabricated by a local company. My original intent was to have it mounted on heavy duty slide outs located under the galley counter top of my teardrop trailer... The surface height ended up being too high so I just added folding bench legs to it for the time being. The table top surface is 3/8" aluminum plate with 1/4" aluminum sides and apron. The windscreen is 1/8" aluminum plate. The table is a work in progress at this point, but is very usable.

Where did you get that awesome work table you put the dutch oven on??

[GeronKizan]

This is interesting.....I wonder...can you do Chicago style? The Chicago style pizza is cooked and baked in almost the same method....where you would line all of the sides to the rims with dough......and they use cast iron too....
