Rustic Ovens

Now I clearly understand why the directions say to buy some frozen pizza instead of your good pizza to first learn to cook in the oven. My first pizza was a disaster! But, it was very good. I did several things wrong. First, the oven wasn't hot enough. It is tough. You do not want to build too big a fire and I guess I did not. Second, I put the pizza on the peel too soon so the dough got the flour wet and the pizza wouldn't slide off the peel. In spite of that, it tasted great! I am trying a boule later today.
