With the growing number of barbecue cooking shows, people are eager to nd more recipes they can make on their barbecue instead of in their oven. Pizza on the barbecue is so easy and so tasty that we can't blame them. Everyone makes their own. Simple recipes such as Margherita and Marinara pizzas were tradition in the 18th century. Today, it seems that the general rule is if you can eat it, you can put it on a pizza. Just as there are many ways to dress a pizza, there are many ways to bake them. Assuming you can handle the `what do I put on my pizza' question yourself, lets move on to `how can I make pizza in my backyard'. Pizza Ovens As people focus on creating the ultimate outdoor space, including a pizza oven has been in the plan for many. Looking to bring the taste of your favourite pizzeria to your backyard? This is the best way. There are typically two types of wood ovens ­ single chamber and dual chamber. In the single chamber, the wood re is built to one side and the pizza cooks next to it. In the dual chamber, the wood re is in the lower chamber and the yummy stuff in the upper chamber. Both styles use ceramic for the cooking surface. This is what cooks the crust perfectly without burning your toppings. Pizza Stone If a pizza oven isn't in your `backyard plan', then a pizza stone is a great alternative. Most pizza stones are made from the same ceramic as pizza ovens. Preheat the stone on the barbecue until your barbecue reaches cooking temperature. Place the pizza on top of the stone and bake for about 5 minutes. Pizza stones can also be used for many other baking applications. Kettle Pizza Band This is a steel band that turns any 18.5" or 22.5" kettle into a pizza oven. The band is placed between the grill and the lid. Pizza goes in and out through the opening. Tips for best results: - Oven/barbecue temperature should be between 500ºF and 650ºF - Sprinkle cornmeal on the ceramic to prevent sticking - Pizza peels make it easier to remove the pizza from the cooking surface For all of your backyard pizza needs visit: www.barbecuesgalore.ca
