No, moving the embers earlier is not the answer. You need to let the oven really heat up, to like 300C degrees. Also you need to have the roof of the inside be very hot, to that the radiant heat quickly cooks from the top, so less time in the oven and little burning from the bottom. Things like this can't be rushed. It's all in the prep. The cooking time is actually quite quick.
True!
Nice to meet your wife. I had to laugh when you pulled out the leaf blower because I use mine for everything and get teased by my grandchildren 😂 I must agree with your wife, I prefer a warm kitchen 😂😘💕 and I really got a chuckle out of this 👍😂
Didn't the on screen text say that she was his girlfriend? Regardless it is nice to meet her. I'm very curious because she said her "Mayan ancestors." That is an interesting topic. 😊
@@BLKninjas I honestly thought he said wife but she was lovely 😊
@@karengossett1475 I was confused as well when I saw your post. 😂
She is my girlfriend, we're not married. but you are right I called her the missus at the start of the video, so I understand the confusion. In British English, 'the Missus'/Mrs' is more of a slang term which can just mean girlfriend or partner
Doing and created together IS the adventure of learning!!!
Thoroughly enjoyable!
That was frankly a great first attempt. Learning by doing in cooking seems to be the way, and you did just as well as could be. It's nice to meet your glamorous assistant, and I look forward to the next installment! Cheers and keep warm! :)
great way to enjoy winter!!! piping hot pizza!
Very impressive!
Four pizzas on the first try! Success!
You're way too hard on yourself. This is wonderful. Look at what you did!!! The previous occupants would be so proud of what you did with their home.
Embrace the cold. Cold air is so good for you. New sub here. : )
An Old British Cook House! Love this idea to cook stuff in your recently unearthed kitchen! (The Unearthed Kitchen?). Wow so many ideas :)
…it’s Welsh
@@countesscable thanks for correction
Wales is part of Britain.
Your wife is lovely, and you both are super funny together. Great attitude to just give it a try and go for it.
Thank you!
The fire needs to burn for a pretty long time to get the roof and the walls really hot, the heat radiation from the roof is important to bake the top surface of the pizza before its underside gets charred.
My neighbor has a slightly larger oven for baking bread, she keeps the fire going for a few hours, then she removes all the burning charcoal and wipes the bottom of the oven with a wet towel to remove the ash. And then she can bake large loafes of bread for the rest of the day, and in the evening when the oven gets to cool for bread, she can still bake some cookies in it...
yes I was too impatient and should have started earlier, will go for 300-400c temperature next time and build the heat up longer
Uma ideia para não queimar a parte inferior da pizza é colocar em uma forma de metal e não diretamente a mesma no cimento. Assim assamos tudo, o calor se propaga bem na forma sem fazer carvão na base do alimento.
What a great place for a lovely couple like yourselves to hang out.
Amazing job from a New Yorker. You are right about the weaknesses of the oven but it sounds like you've got it mostly figured out in just one run and the last one especially looked pretty good.
Tell ya what, I'll come by and taste some! 😂
I put the embers either side of the pizza oven, rather than one side , makes an all round heat
Oh, that was a lot of fun and you are real troopers. Really enjoyed this video, thank you. Your oven is perfect as you will discover, be patient and cultivate getting to know it's personality and idiosyncrasies, just as real bakers have done since humans first constructed ovens.
Thank you. Yes I'm sure we will get better quite quickly. plenty of practice next year!
Once again a pleasurable viewing video ! Very nice meeting the missus !
The reward at the end of the long hard project. Job well done and enjoy.
Hurry up and get the fire going! She’s freezing!
Very exciting to see you use your happy accident find for the first time 😃👌.
The ethnic banter in the cold had me chuckling, my dad was German/English/Irish/Scottish mix while my mother is Choctaw, a tribe from the southeast of the states, I can’t stand the heat or the cold 😂
Put corn meal on your pizza spatula then put your pizza … if it stuck. Also check out cold pizza dough rising and regular pizza dough rising.
Get a thermometer gun. It’s a game changer! I cook at the stone being 430c to 450c in the centre and my pizzas come out perfect at 60 to 90 seconds.
Well done. Thoroughly entertaining. The more you use your oven the greater your understanding of how it performs, and what it’s capable of, and your instincts will become more in tune with it when you’re cooking. I look forward to seeing more of your cooking adventures with it.
Glad you enjoyed it, I think we'll do more cooking in the Spring
I love a good Frosty morning, blowing them Dragon Breaths, no matter your age.
That was fun! Well done 😊
It's pretty hard to get used to your oven, I built one 6 years ago and throughout lockdown I mastered it, I had nothing else to do. The more you use it the better you will become. Get the best driest wood you can find, Birch works well for pizzas burns hot but not for long, Ash and Oak burns cooler but for longer, ideal for baking or cooking meat for longer 3-4 hours. When the roof of the oven has turned white and burnt off all the soot its perfect and up to temp. I've enjoyed your videos, thanks.
So fun to see what has become of the abandoned area you first uncovered. Was this test perfect? No, but you also aren't a pizza oven expert. I think it worked out better than you could have hoped for. Thank you for your content!
thanks, glad you enjoyed it. I was pretty happy with the outcome too, but always room to do better next time.
A thoroughly enjoyable video, folks.
Putting a bit of corn meal or semolina on the peel will help the thin crust come off easier and not burn so much on the bottom.
Good fun, love the bantz, Mum & Dad had the right idea, turn up when it's almost ready !
I'm sure every oven has it's quirks and you'll soon work out how to get the best from it !
yes they were waiting for the right moment!
We have a wood fired pizza oven and we light the fire 3 HOURS before we cook any pizzas. The oven has to get really hot. We know that the oven is hot when the ceiling of the oven is white ie all the soot has burnt off. The hot ceiling cooks the top of the pizza. Our oven is also too low so my husband has a chair that he places in front of the oven so that he can sit and see into the oven easily. We never cook pizza with the door closed.
A very enjoyable video and lovely to see you with your partner. A great first go at the Pizza oven👍🙏
For your first trial you did brilliantly. I laughed when pizzas 3 and 4 were coming out the oven because I had been thinking after all the effort to get it hot enough I would keep cooking until the fire died and then there you were! 👨🍳
Always make the fire to the side, and not in the middle. Other than that, all good. Well done!!
Your wife has such a beautiful gentle voice...where is her accent from? She needs her own ASMR channel with that voice 🤣❤️❤️
Thanks, I've told her that before. her accent is a bit of blend of living all over, 5-10 year periods in several different countries. don't know if it can be traced.
Awesome video! That was a fun adventure! Thank you for sharing.
Pizza ovens are definitely tricky to learn how to use but you guys did well, great job. Love making pizza in a pizza oven. Roasts are awesome cooked in the oven too. Take care and thank you for sharing 👏🙏❤️
I spend one winter in Wales in Pen-Craig_Uchaf, the farm of Nick Turner who was the singer of the band Hawkwind. Wales is beautiful! I also spend some time in summer near Devil's Bridge. Greetings from Germany
Really nice to meet your family and pizza's look lush. Happy yule tidings to you all .
Great video, love the banter. Nice first time using the oven, everything was edible and nobody complained, I'd say a success.👍
yes that was my attitude, if it cooks and tastes nice that's a decent first run. obviously room for improvement but can't be that unhappy with pizza for lunch
Wonderful video! Thank you!
Well done! Excellent results for the first time. Enjoy your vids, you remind me of our youngest.
A hand powered bellow would give you much more control and less mess!
I think you did well considering your conditions. Looks quite yummy. Ready for round two.
Good job, made me hungry! Must be so satisfying for you taking that site from rubble to a functioning area with a history to it. Very cool!
Yay top 61 and top 905 comments and likes. Love this channel. Best to you and your family. Thanks for making this video. Happy holidays!!!!!!!!
Semolina makes a great lubricant to stop pizza sticking to board and peel.
Cornmeal to unstick more easier to get more economical to buy
I feel like having pizza now, a stone baked one of course.
good job brother.
Perhaps a small covered area for rainy days. Maybe a three sided cover. It can't be taxed I think.
You could look into one of those laser thermometers to check the temp of the oven.
yes going to get an infrared one.
You can get special metal brushes for cleaning the floor of those ovens. You just stick a pole on the end and rake it out.
Great video folks, the pizzas turned out really nice, making me HUNGRY 😋, take care.
Cool people (pun intended). Thanks for sharing your journey. Cheers from Texas.
You two are adorable. Thank you for sharing your adventures!
Thanks!
I believe walkingstick 6655 had suggestions that will help on future efforts. I might add that if you’d had some tongs handy, you could have moves some coals from your fire pit to warm the oven more. An enjoyable video as usual. Thanks.
super cool! just wait until the warmer part of the year when you'll be out there in flip flops!
For the first run I think it came out pretty well. Very nice.
Thanks 👍
Nice to meet your glamorous assistant. I think you will be happy with your oven. The height is harder to see in but easier to pull the pizza out which you will appreciate more as the pizzas get bigger. Having the flew not in the dome allows the radiant heat to cook the top of the pizza better. You can get an oven thermometer to put in the oven center for not much. Bon Appetit!
I think I will get an infrared thermometer at some point.
You might try cooking your pizzas on a raised platform of some sort, maybe grated. If needed, use corn meal on cooking surfaces to prevent sticking. Just toss in a handful or two. Love your videos!
Thanks
Was also going to add corn meal for sticking /reducing burning. Add a sprinkle of sugar if you like with the meal. Greetings from Southern Tennessee!
Came over from TikTok
Get it to cooking temperature, move the coals and then with a wet mop, mop the cooking space. Works every time
what a great team you two...
It's always hard to do something right from the very first time, especially when you use a new equipment, which can behave in unexpected and unfamiliar way. I think, you did great - there wasn't totally burnt or mostly raw first pizza, it looked so yummy! I am a bit jealous that I didn't taste it.
Lots of flour under the base when rolling can help reduce blacken of the base.
Love what you're doing!!!
You two are the cutest and your mrs. is really funny, I love your energy and you should do more videos together :D
Thanks, I hope to do more videos with her!
No-one appeared when you did all that digging. But now there’s food….. 😂
Your girlfriend is fabulous ❤
haha, my thoughts exactly! she's not one for digging, but cooking and eating she's game. thank you
Rotate the pizza every minute or so. Use hard woods like ash or oak. Get the firestone as hot as possible then keep the wood far right inside the pizza fireplace.
If you hold your hand in front of the open door and you can only hold it there for a few seconds, then that's probably around 300°.
How fun pizza 🍕 looked delicious 😋 even if it was charred.. great idea on the blower! Will definitely be using it on the next fire 🔥
Brilliant that!
💛👍
your missus is lovely, big thanks to her for being brave to cohost with you 🥳
Hopefully I can convince her to do more! but will need to be warmer outside
That area would be a great place for a fire pit, the walls will radiate the heat back at you.😊
Awe, you two are so cute. The pizza looked delish. I think you did really well, considering it was the first try. 😊
Great video.😂 Think you did a great job!!! It is a learning curve !!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Pizza Yum😊😊😊
This episode only adds credibility to my suggestion of building a large fireplace at the opposite end of the stove. There's plenty of room for furniture to sit and eat while enjoying your next pizza!
That was awesome. Your girlfriend is adorable. Can't wait to see what you do next!
Thank you very much!
I liked the banter with you and your girlfriend! You seem like a very nice couple. I enjoyed your outdoor kitchen build video - good luck on your future projects!!
Thanks so much!
How lovely. Nice to see the new faces ❤
Lovely to meet your wife. 🙂
4 edible pizzas. I count that as a win!
agreed, can't complain too much!
how yummy,,,,the first of many successful pizza nights Im sure! Bon appetit!
I've seen bread bakers use an oven similar to yours. When they heat up the oven all the black inside the oven has to be burned off before the oven is ready. The oven is ready to bake bread when the inside of the oven turns white. Baking time for a pizza or a couple of loaves of bread is fast, about 2 minutes or so for a pizza, like the ones you made. You have to wait; the inside of the oven must be white before the bread goes in, even if you're freezing to death.
Yes I was too impatient! next time going to aim for 2 minutes cooking time you're right
Well now i'm starving after watching that! Well done, a fantastic first go indeed. Lovely to meet your partner too, she seems lovely. Great work guys!
Keep fire to one side and pizza the other side of the room, the bottom will not be that hot under the pizza.. testing...testing... 😉 good luck!
You can practice by expanding the use to make rustic loaves.
Great trial run. Pizzas looked lovely. Your missus looks lovely too.
Not a scythe ... Think Grim Reaper -- Your item is generally sold in UK as a "Slashing Hook" - for hedging usually unless theres a local revolution when it is The Wand of Justice.
haha! good to know! I always figured it was just a different type of scythe to the grass cutting 'grim reaper' type. didn't know it had a different name, thanks
@@afontirs Gyda Cyfarchion.
You're welcome. I admire your effort and enjoy seeing you and friends enjoy the fruits of the labour. I know there's a lot of backache in such projects. 👍🏼
I think the oven should be allowed to heat up thoroughly over a long time to gate proper radiant heat from the walls
You guys are too cute!!!!!!
If you wanted to get the pizza oven at a more comfortable height you could possibly modify the floor. Remove some of the stone floor and dig out a small area in front of it then replace the stone back on the floor in the recessed area.
You could also incorporate a small ledge to accommodate a wood platform to set over the recess when the ovens not in use so the floor space would still be usable.
interesting observing your 'first' time cooking. I unfortunately know from "talks" as well few youtubes.
native American pueblos has horno... an outdoor oven. and from what I am told they know more about it than the europeans or others. however here is what I am told (not practiced myself because I don't have one.)
a) They start the fire in horno, usually 3 + hours before "cooking".
b) the flames is not to touch "top of the roof", in horno is highest most point, not the sides of the ceiling.
c) Beside the first start, the fire is fed, where the flame is not allowed to be higher than half of the ceiling space.
d) they use either a piece of wood (i imagine 2 cm square) or few drops of water, placed in front of the door, not touching the door. once water is evaporated, or wood has charred sufficiently; then oven is ready.
e) they do "blessing ceremony" while starting the fire... is their ancient way of setting up the time and ensure the heat is properly hot for a baking. by the way the first or first two bakes is always the most tastiest compared to later bakes.
I am made aware sometime baker is not ready, then a stick or two is added to maintain the ember heat, usually on the sides.
the preparation (floor) process has not been told to me. so I do not have that knowledge.
Enjoy your cooking, hope your second try is better.
Maya were smart enough not to live in place where the air freezes white ! :D Don't buy kits, buy the ingredients and have THICK pizza. Great to see the Barbie area being used, well done. 35 o C here in Australia.
my brother lives in Australia, so I get regular summer updates!
missed opportunity when your wife asked how many triprods you have.....you had tri......
Use tapioca flour on the oven base so the pizza won't stick or burn
Yummy
Your wife is a delightfully good sport!
