Pizza

How do you know about chinotto ;)

So happy that san pellegrino is finally imported here, hope that it doesn't get made here.

that looks amazing. was there lots of splattering ? that's what i worry about ...

Probably better to go for the pro then bigger pizzas ;)

Then 13" compared to 17" and twice the price.

I like the balsamic idea. Will definitely try that.

There was a bit of splattering and the fat caught fire for a bit, but at that heat it’s all burnt away pretty quickly after cooking has finished. I’m about to cook some left over naan bread dough in a minute and getting the oven up to temp has cleaned it quite nicely.

That is near the temperature of a pyrolytic oven, so self cleaning.

Now quite fancy some asparagus...

Has anyone tried making lasagna in the ooni? Small dish, wonder if it is to hot to cook? I like the crisp burnt edges tho, which this would be perfect.

Too hot I suspect for the entire bake, but could totally start it off in the regular oven and finish it in the Ooni. Crispy goodness guaranteed

Am just talking, as I don't have an ooni but am watching ebay ;), wondering if you cooked the sheets in boiling water till soft, skipped the bechamel sauce, and then layered pasta sheets sauce and cheese of choice then to the oven to warm and crisp up. Wonder if that would work?

Am hungry and fancy lots of things...

naan bread

So after ocado constantly being out of even plain flour and seeing all caputo talk I couldn't resist, just got the delivery this morning. Bugger knows where I'm going to put it though?

I’d store it in my gut.

That's definitely the medium to long term storage solution!

well jeal. i've been trying to buy some of this stuff in a more manageable size ... prices are extortion it seems

Get in. What’s the stuff on top?

If you're anywhere near E7 you welcome to come and grab a couple of kilos, I probably should have done a shout out on here to see if anyone wanted to go in on an order but it ended up being a bit of an impulse buy.

Looks like nduja

i'm in Cambridge, unfortunately. but cheers!

Nduja, I'm bloody addicted to it.

Bugger knows where I'm going to put it though?

If that’s a 25kg bag, I bought one of these (30 litre) and it fit perfectly. Food safe and not too big.

Oh fuck yeah. Will have to see if I can get any at my local - thanks for the idea!

Nice - where from? A lot of the wholesalers local to me seem to have restaurant-level minimum orders, and whilst I'm sure I could find £2oo-worth of Italian delicacies to buy, the OH might have a thing or two to say about that...

Ring up before, offer to collect the order and pay cash. I think a lot of the minimum order stuff is to do with being a regular customer and deliveries. And they may well be happy for the extra custom at the moment. Won't hurt to give them a ring and ask either way.

I ordered from this place https://www.marcoalimentari.com/ they cover anywhere within the m25, made the order around 6pm on Monday and it arrived around 9.15 this morning. They've just reduced their minimum order to £70 and delivery for anything under £200 is a fiver.

Ha, solves where I'm going to put the flour but then creates and new storage conundrum.

Called my wholesaler just in time to add some nduja to my order. Great fucking shout
