First pizzas in the Ooni, not as thin as hoped but the dough was a bit prone to tearing. I was using a 00 flour for pasta as I couldn't find pizza flour. 5kg of Caputo making it's way to us now, as well as a lot of canned San Marzano tomatoes. We'll hopefully have gotten the hang of this by the time the homegrown San Marzanos are ripe.
Need to work on the turning, hard to get it moving quick enough with the wooden peel. Might get a steel turning peel as I singed off a lock of hair trying to get a view of what I was doing with the tongs.
Looking good! But yes, a metal peel is a must for turning/removal; I use a bamboo peel to make the pizza on and to put it in the oven, and a cheapo eBay aluminium one for moving the pizza and removal.
