If i could direct up load the video i could include the low altitude flyover of the still bubbling pie as a lunar landscape of deliciousness.

I found the holy grail of gluten free pizza today. I had the idea to make the Caputo Fioreglut focaccia recipe, put the dough in cast iron skillets, then top and cook per the Serious Eats pan pizza recipe. Exceeded all expectations, the best pizza experience I've had in over 10 years. Unqualifiedly awesome, not just by gluten free standards.

That pizza looks super yummy Dan.

Can confirm that the Fiore Glut used as a pan pizza comes out awesome. Looks great!

My brother brought his Ooni over, and pies were had.

$3.99 for a whole pie?!?

Going price around here is north of $30…

(Have not yet calculated what it costs me to make my own at home…)

My youngest wanted to try making pizza dough over the summer. Now homemade dough is the standard, and standards are pretty high.

^^^ Nice peel!

Thanks! I took on woodworking as my pandemic hobby and made the original two years back. Now I've made three for pizza inclined friends and family. Peel #1 is the original prototype when it was new. The red paduk as greyed out over 2 years. Peel #2 went to dad after he saw mine and was envious, and I saw the beater of a peel he was using. Peel #3 was a wedding gift and all oiled up in the photo there. That one is a bit skinner than the other two at 14" wide or so. The other two can take 18" monsters

Those are beautiful, man!

I lost my peel 15 years ago somewhere between SF and Truckee when I moved…

FWIW, today is apparently NATIONAL CHEESE PIZZA DAY.

And coming up on November 12 is NATIONAL PIZZA WITH EVERYTHING (EXCEPT ANCHOVIES) DAY…

Your pop's peel is pretty freaking stout. Nicely done!

The camera is deceiving, they're all made for XL pies. I wish I had a photo of all 3 in the same place to compare them. They're all about the same overall length ~36" but they got progressively smaller because I built them for someone feeding a family, not personal pizzas. #1 is an absolute unit at 16.5" wide x 19" long and that's why the handle looks shorter. #2 is about the same but he's holding it at an angle so it looks more rectangular than it really is. #3 is the baby sized one at 14" wide x 17"ish long because the bride currently lives in an apartment and her oven is small. It's sitting on a 13x17 oven sheet for reference.

If I retire early, I might try and sell custom peels for beer money.

Love those custom peels. Beautiful.

**gaijin** · 09-06-2023, 06:11 AM

Those peels are beautiful. I’d buy one.

In the meantime, Dan, where’s the gluten-free recipe for that cast iron pizza you made? I need that in my life.

I love the custom peel that my fil made me a bunch of years ago. Use that sucker all the time, but never for pizzas cuz the ooni cooks so hot that the wooden peel begins to smoke the instant it touches the stones. So I had to buy a cheap stainless one for actual pizza making.

What's next? Jeremy Jones for Emeril's air fry oven?

**AK47bp** · 09-12-2023, 03:12 PM

Anyone used the Solo Stove Pi Prime gas oven? Do you like it?

Been using the baking steel for 7 years and it works great, but for 3 pies it takes about 10 minutes each, so my family can’t all eat at the same time.
