My Parents Oven

My parents oven back home in Australia is a little over 4' in diameter after the oven has been fired and raked clean of coals they bake two batches of pizza before the bread goes in. On this page I have posted some pictures of my parents baking pizza. These pictures are snapshots taken from a video .... unfortunately the quality is poor.

Here the dough is being kneaded by hand in a large wooden vat soon after this they purchased an electric mixer which has cut the work & time required from hand kneading.

Right, dough is proofing.

The oven is fired.

Dough is divided into portions for pizza and formed into balls, then it is left to proof one more time before they are turned into pizza.

Dough proofing.

Pizza cooking on hearth for a quick snack.

Topping is placed on pizzas and they are ready to go in the oven.

Pizzas are in the oven and the door goes on.

The pizzas are unloaded from the oven using a hand made peel.
