Last night was the debut of the WFO being used for pizza -- and it was very exciting! We started by making some pita bread, which was delicious. We then assembled pizzas and got them in the oven. We had to make the pizzas in an oblong shape since we don't have the proper size pizza peel yet, but it worked fine, as you can see from the photos.
After the fire died down, we then baked a loaf of hearth bread. And, that also came out pretty well. Vince has worked so hard on this project -- and yesterday, naturally, when we decided to have our first official firing, it was 100 degrees outside. So, Vince probably lost about 2 quarts of body fluids in perspiration while he was firing the oven.
We're looking forward to trying pizza again soon, along with some sourdough bread.

The oven looks great, and so does the pizza. Congratulations on a job well done! M F
