Pizza In A Woodburner


Remember the pizza I made in April? It's in the blog titled, FRENCH STICK 

Well, Last night we made pizza again, and cooked it in the wood burner. 


Just had to take a piccy of this dough, it's gorgeous and all ready to be rolled out to make the 4 bases.


The sauce today was made using half tin toms, 2t pesto, 1t olive pate, 12 leaves wild garlic, 1t umboloshi  (plum pate) and  1t mango powder -  the last 2 items are very tart and were used because we didn't have a lemon. Everything was whizzed to form a sauce, and then spread onto the 4 bases.

Add toppings of your choice. As ever ours revolved around the things we had in the fridge .... not much then, but plenty of olives and cheese and sweet potato.



  • Let the fire die to the hot ember stage. 
  • Shut the air vent, to cool the fire.
  • Put in an upturned bread tin, to act as a 'shelf'.
  • Pop your pizza on top of the bread tin.
  • Shut the door.
  • Adjust the air flow/temperature to encourage it to cook well.
  • Takes about 5 - 10 minutes - keep an eye on it.


Oh, how good it tasted. 

GIVE IT A GO!!!
