It Took Me 368 Days To Make This Homemade Pizza (Oven) | Claire Saffitz
We've got a special episode for you this Thanksgiving. Over the past year, I've dedicated myself to constructing an earth oven in my backyard, drawing inspiration from the renowned Kiko Denzer. From renting an excavator to building the foundation, installing insulation, constructing the oven floor, and adding insulation layers - this project has been a labor of love. In this hour-long journey, sponsored by the fantastic King Arthur Baking Company, I take the newly crafted oven on its maiden voyage. Join me as I attempt to create a classic Neapolitan wood-fired pizza, inspired by the techniques of Jeffrey Hamelman.
Throughout this video, I share the highs and lows, successes, and lessons learned. From the initial stages of building the oven to the final moments of savoring a homemade pizza, every step is documented. Learn from our experiences as we encounter challenges and celebrate small victories. While the journey is ongoing, we successfully craft dough, prepare pizza sauce, and assemble a pizza entirely from scratch.

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us! The Dessert Person team is grateful for your continued support and subscriptions over the years.
Thank you, for all the great free content! Cheers from Brazil. 💚💚💛💛
You're BIG and BEAUTIFUL girl don't listen to what everyone on the internet is saying about how OBESE you are becoming. You are PERFECT
Happy thanksgiving to you and your team! I’m a wood fire potter and the guy I fire with builds pizza ovens as well as kilns etc. We build pizzas on a wooden peel, but turn it and remove it with a metal peel. And we really load it with wood to heat it. I agree that drying it out is key. I’m no expert, but my firing buddy is, and I’ve seen a bunch of pizza ovens, and yours is Amazing! Mad respect for running the bobcat and having such an intense foundation! Thanks for all you do.
Happy Thanksgiving Claire and Dessert Person team! ❤ from Chicago!
brad leone collab, when?
"I have no idea what I'm doing, I just read a bunch of stuff on the internet and watched a bunch of UA-cam videos." -- never has Claire been more relatable 😂🥰
This is honestly how I feel when I follow a recipe from one of Claire’s videos.
@@MrBarneyDinosaur exactly 😅
The millennial Julia Child.
Explain: @@Souscheff
That's how all great stories begin.
An hour of Claire?!! This is a blessing❤
The comment I was coming to leave 😂
Claire treating building like baking is a crossover I didn't know I needed. It's so sweet. The baking words and skills used in building an oven are unexpected.
At some extent it is
Claire has transferrable job skills.
Ikr, the way she was mixing mortar
When she was talking about mortar and hydration! So good.
i actually really appreciate how you show when things don't work the first time. it's so tiring to see cooking/baking content where everything works perfectly and nothing goes wrong, it's just not realistic. showing the trial and error and talking through the process of what went wrong and how to fix it is so useful and makes me feel a lot better when i make mistakes. cooking and baking are artistic practices as much as they are sciences and experimentation and failure are natural parts of the process.
Yes, in both the building and the baking, seeing the set-backs, road-blocks etc is key.
"It's pale, it's torn, it's got no bubbles, and it has soot over it... Other than that, it's perfect."
That's the kind of positive affirmation I love.
I never would have guessed six years ago when the algorithm first introduced me to Claire making Twinkies that her accidently honking the horn on construction equipment would bring me nirvana.
This channel is such a wholesome and cozy place for me to just unwind and relax. Thanks so much Claire for being you and for providing such a cozy, yet informative and fun place to hang out.
It's like Claire took "gourmet makes" kind of vibes of trial and error, and making everything from scratch. And like, how do you build an oven? I love it
Yessss. Came here to say this too
I was so thinking this too!!
Claire is living the Stardew valley life and I'm all for it.
Now I'm excited to see Claire bake apple pie in this new brick oven
Seeing Claire so down-to-earth by acknowledging her mistakes and learning from them makes me appreciate her all the more.
Depending on whether you're left or right-handed, the position of the fire should be more on the side of the oven, opposite of your dominant hand, rather than all up in the center, of back of the oven. This will help you compensate for the loss of heat, towards the oven's opening. Also, you really need the metal, circular peel, which is meant for turning the pizza. if you have to use tongs, you'll deflate the crust. You should also consider having some fine wood shavings, which you can add to the fire, if you want an extra blast of heat, before loading the pizza in the oven. IIRC, the term for that is 'pampuglia'. This is supposed to improve the 'spring' in the dough.
Good thing you told her what to do, after she’s built and used her oven! She clearly needed more unsolicited advice a year+ late!
@@tananario These are sound tips. Claire has been relying on the internet to get her tips, I doubt she's insulted by this.
@@tananario This is very helpful advice for all of us reading the comment who are thinking of building an oven or just curious. Quite sure the op is aware of this. Personally I'm grateful, thanks op.
I have been loving Claire's recent pivot toward savory baking and cooking! I've been a Claire fan since 2017 and I'm so grateful for the amazing example she has set as a woman in the culinary arts. She strikes the perfect balance of educational-yet-entertaining content, and her personality just shines through. She feels like a friend. Thank you, Claire and team!!!
I seriously cheered when Claire finally got the oven hot enough and saw the final pizza look SO good!!!!! What an awesome girl power video, so proud of Claire for making such an awesome outdoor oven!
I know right! The twist ending of it all working out warmed my heart
Her proud giggles looking at the pizza was so cute and even kind of moving 🥹🥹
I practically cheered when the oven reached 700 degrees.
Right?! I kept looking to see how much time was left in the episode b/c I knew she was going to get it right.
Interesting adventure, but I don’t want a pizza oven for myself
Just fantastic. Claire + a procedural of ANYTHING = I click. To see her thought process, try, fail, try again, and succeed is so great.
We need an update when you put the finishing touches on the oven! This was an absolutely amazing video, thank you Claire and team!
This woman is a complete marvel. Her determination, creativity problems solving and her ability to master so many skills just by simply trying. You are amazing Claire
I think this was the first video besides the gingerbread house creation where you see even when Claire isn’t baking she’s a genius in general.
This was a masterpiece!! Anyone else would have hired it out and had the oven built, used a glam team and then stood next to the oven with a new pizza peel. Claire is the real deal, so very relatable and I think you get a lot of your spunk from Sauci!! Can’t wait to see more episodes of baking in this marvelous brick oven and I am wishing a happy holiday season to the entire team…it does take a village! 😘
Claire driving a Bobcat ✨iconic✨
omg omg a one hour video from Claire on Thanksgiving! Soooo much love to you and your family! Thank you guys!!!
I love all the episodes, but this one was byfar my favorite as of late. So wholesome, really.
I am obsessed with these longer videos!
Why did this episode remind me of Gourmet Makes when Claire would have a fail in one of the recipe attempts and miraculously fix it at the end?! Great job Claire!
So many learning experiences! And Claire did it herself. This is fascinating, and I'm drooling in anticipation of learning more alongside Claire the Baker and Oven Maker 😊
ETA: Worms are the best thing you can find when you dig! Read this book: EARTH, MOVED. All about worms, how they're responsible for making topsoil. Where would we be without them?
Sure, your chickens will love them, but save some of them for your soil! They're fascinating little critters 😊
Claire Saffitz x Heavy Machinery is the show I didn't know I needed :)
Submit this for a daytime emmy immediately!!! Happy Turkey Day, Claire and all the dessert people!
Claire! i have to say I am seriously impressed with your adventure here. Kudos to you for building that oven out yourself!
10 million more subs should be be on this channel 😊. This is like comfort food for the mind I love it
This was so much fun to watch. I love watching you learn, I LOVED watching you build the oven. This was great. Thank you @KingArthurBakingCompany you make great stuff and this episode was great.
Claire is queen of taking a beat and coming back better than ever
Congrats Claire! I was so excited when I saw this video since I also built a brick oven during covid. One piece of advice is you need a metal peel, and a wood peel like you opened in the video. The wood peel is great for putting the pizza in the oven and the metal peel makes it super easy to turn the pizza in the oven!
Mesmerizing! Start to finish. Best "Best of Claire" episode ever. And Harris, such a good guy to say oven building has been trial and error since time began. The alumni gear also made me smile. Thanks!
Happy Thanksgiving, Claire! I made your caramelized honey pumpkin pie for the third year running and it’s gorgeous. I’ve made over twenty of your recipes, and I’ve learned so much from watching you! I owe my baking confidence and a lot of deliciousness to you! Thank you for adding goodness and beauty to the world. ❤
Lol. Just another reason to love Claire. She empowers women to try new things and she's hilarious!! Big fan for many years. This video brings back Gourmet Makes vibes.
I absolutely LOVE longer segment videos so thank you Claire, the production and editing team 🤗
THATS FUCKING BADASS!!!! Claire built her own outdoor oven from scratch!?!?!? THATS CRAZY and so cool. The Baking x Building crossover was something I never would have imagined
This is my favorite UA-cam video of the year. Congrats on your 369-day pizza, Claire! Looking forward to seeing more videos that feature the earth oven 💪
Great episode. I am truly impressed at the effort you put into building your oven.
I do have a tip about pizza peels. While wood peels are easier to slide on and off, you need more than 1 peel.
Wood peel: good for building your pizza and sliding IN the oven.
Metal peel: usually a lot thinner than wood, and it’s easier to get under the pizza once it’s in the oven. (Plus if your pizza is too close to the fire, the steel peel won’t singe)
Turning peel: optional, but handy when you don’t want to take the pizza out of the oven every time to turn it by hand.
I hope that helps.
Looking forward to the next cook with this oven.
Who would've guessed that a master cake-decorator/baker would make a great brick-mason? Hardly any overlap in skill...
Fantastic work. Inspiring!
I enjoyed Claire the builder. We don't celebrate Thanksgiving in Africa but happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
This woman is a national treasure
National treasure? You mean a divine jewel of the entire Universe!
@@LucarioBoricua my apologies I’d say you’re correct
Claire's trial and error & little frustrated bits with the oven reminded me so much of what drew me to her in the BA test kitchen videos lol. this vid was a nice reminder that Claire still struggles with things sometimes (:
I honestly cried at the end. What an amazing achievement, Claire! I felt like I went on a journey with you. You should be so proud of yourself xx
There's a lot in common between baking and construction. I replastered my whole house and the next time i went to frost a cake, I had suddenly become an expert ?? Turns out, drywall is a directly transferable skill to frosting.
the internet adores you and your vibrant energy. thank you for sharing.
I'm spending Thanksgiving away from family this year, but I'm so grateful for Claire & her team for bringing us these videos ❤
I've definitely been enjoying the outdoor videos on this channel a lot. Looking forward to more pizza and bread videos with the new oven!
This is basically an episode of gourmet makes and I’m loving it
I loved this.
We're so conditioned to expect perfection from every cooking video, it's nice to see Claire go through the full gambit of experiences you'd see troubleshooting your first attempts.
This is feeling like an episode of that PBS construction show This Old House, Claire edition-- love it!
Not me crying when Claire finally made the pizza 🥺
Part 2 of the pizza oven build please! Love love LOVE this long form content - food is so much more than just the recipes! 😊
OK. "Claire Builds" should definitely become a channel :D
Claire, I've been watching your content since mid-2019 when you were at BA, and I have to say it makes me so happy to see you succeed with your own channel and cookbooks. You're thriving in your element 👏 To have your videos sponsored by King Arthur flour AND Kerrygold butter is a big deal in the cooking world, and I'm proud to see how far you've come!
Claire you are a genius, loved your NYT Thanksgiving, but this is a total tour de force. Brilliant, congratulations!
this was genuinely one of the coolest things I've ever seen someone do wow
I would love to see Claire make a gourmet version of a Big Turk bar! So happy to see this series back in its new form, it's actually really nice to see Claire in her own kitchen!
I ADORE long form videos and this is like a balm to the soul after a few very intense weeks. Thank you!
Tip for doing masonry work. Saturate your blocks/bricks and let the surface dry before setting. When the blocks are bone dry they wick moisture from the mortar to the degree that it can reduce the strength/durability of the mortar. Nice job all in all! I can't build anything at my house without a neighbor calling the county on me.
Claire, I cannot believe you were able to build that oven, which is outstanding, and the can opener was a struggle.....hahahaha
You have skills....love your recipes
46:03 THE HAAANDSSS! I’m deaddd
I rewatched this at least 20 times already. Zoomed it and replayed over and over.
Claire, you cutie!
Dare i say that there has never been a better cold open to a Claire video than of this master chef sitting in a bobcat ready to start constructioning
We need a Claire breads book next
This reminded me of when Claire had to figure out how to make ramen, oreos, and pop rocks etc. She just saw a bunch of stuff on the internet got the equipment she needed and got it done♡
1:01:12 literally in tears. What a journey Claire. ✌🏻❤️👍🏻
I almost shed a tear when that final pizza cooked perfectly🥺 thanks for taking us on this journey with you!
This episode was incredible. Love it. Parts were so relaxing, it felt like ASMR others were hectic, with Claire swearing and frustrated. So good.
I think it’s official that Claire can literally do anything
So much of this video made me feel so much better about how it went the first time we tried this with one of Kiko's ovens.😂 I've built dozens of these ovens by now and having the dome be bone-dry is so key to a successful bake. Keeping well back from the door at full heat is a Good Thing; we use a wooden long-handled commercial pizza peel we bought at a restaurant supply store, which I cut down and sharpened the leading edge because a narrow door is better for cob style ovens. That long handle and narrow/rounded format makes it much easier to spin a pizza or bread boule without reaching into the hot dome with your hands. Make or buy yourself a mop and rake to control your level of char on the bottoms.
truly in awe of claire. there is nothing this woman can't do!
Thankful for Claire 🙏
Seeing Claire happy makes me so happy, bless her. Also loved this project, making your own brick oven is amazinggg, real life wonder woman
The whole building process is so impressive and the video really is built as well as the oven! Congrats
I have an ooni and it is definitely easier but the second you see the pizza rise in front of your eyes is so magical
I used that same book to build my oven 12 years ago. We ended up rebuilding the dome about 7 years ago. We’ve had so many amazing pizza parties over the years. You really made a great investment.
"medium rare pizza" 😂 I love when Harris shows up
Claire's nervous laughter is so relatable LMAODSKJLF
Loved it all the way through and then VICTORY at the end!
Claire never ceases to amaze me with her fortitude and can-do attitude! Her technique’s inspire me.
Claire, this was the most enjoyable hour. I think you are my spirit sister! I would totally would have done this whole thing. I can't help but be so proud of you that you did this! I kinda love that Harris didn't get involved except to kiss you and eat pizza.
Im behind the scenes. Who do you think picked up all the mortar mix?’ :)
By far one of my favourite episodes yet! Claire, you are such a badass for taking such a big project on! The video and editing was so much fun to watch! Didn’t feel like an hour at all!
Claire is living the dream.
Need a Claire Saffitz and Mikey Musumeci collab on pizza
Having strong flashbacks of "Gourmet Makes" Day 2 and Day 3 for a lot of this video.
Needless to say a nice thin crust with a few choice toppings makes for a great woodfired pizza, but it cannot be overstated how important, and often challenging, it is to build and maintain a very hot fire.
A longer, more detailed video of just the building process would've been great too! Building and cooking have more in common then we usually think. Love for the whole team x
Claire you deserve all the respect for taking that project on yourself and following through and finishing it.
Also, so much fun to watch
Construction and baking, same thing... I cannot be more thankful to my Dad who thought me construction since childhood because I became a pretty decent baker later in life ;-)
Honestly? I've never really felt inspired by somone before, but you? Are my inspiration ✨️
Seeing you being so vulnerable, showing your problems and frustration, makes this a great video and a big win! Thanks so much for putting this together!
Claire - I'm so impressed you built that oven! Well done! My husband and I bought a little outdoor Ooni pizza oven during COVID and have been pizza-ing ever since. I highly recommend a pizza turning peel for you, especially since your arm is getting hot as you try to turn with the wooden peel and tongs. You'd still use the wood peel to launch, but the turning peel has a longer handle and is round and metal, so you can turn your pizza inside the oven.
I LOVE this Claire building content! More please!! It's so great watching Claire apply her smarts, research skills, and general figuring-it-out to a project like this, and it's so encouraging seeing other women using tools and machines and building stuff, even when they're not experts. And an HOUR long?! It's a Christmas miracle!
Spiraling Claire was a throwback to Make Gourmet. Fun to see when things go wrong.
You should invest in a long handle pizza paddle, that way you can turn it better without getting too close to the heat.
This was so enjoyable to watch. Really loved the authenticity and seeing you struggle with the first pizza. We make mistakes all the time and it's great to see sometimes you do too and it's okay. :D
First the NYT thanksgiving content for an hour and a half, now this 😮 Bravo to you and your staff, deserve millions of views. I also feel like I recieved an early Christmas gift even though you're Jewish 😅
This was a great episode Claire. I loved it. Butter the brick. I loved it. You are a very creative and heartwarming person. Loved you on Bon Appetit, and love you even more on your own channel. Cheers for Claire.
Claire's laugh heals my soul
How come she had no idea what she was doing, yet her bread oven looks so perfect? I swear this girl can make anything ! 😂❤
