Garden fireplace with pizza oven
A patio fireplace with a built-in pizza oven offers the perfect mix of warmth, atmosphere and outdoor cooking. The HEAT Pizza Oven Ovnhus is a great example. This fireplace features a fire chamber with a pizza oven on top. It includes a pizza stone and grill rack, so it's ready to use straight away. You can also use it to bake bread, cakes or casseroles. The built-in thermometer on the front allows you to monitor the temperature easily. Air and heat control is done via the adjustable vents on the door. You can use wood, charcoal or briquettes as fuel.
Pizza oven on the BBQ
You can also bake pizza on the BBQ. Fire bowls from BonFeu and MOODZ can be upgraded with accessories like the BonFeu pizza oven, which features a steel handle for easy opening. With its 42 cm diameter, it's ideal for baking pizza, focaccia or even a warm apple pie. Note: this oven requires a compatible plancha and base to use. It's also compatible with the BonFeu BonBiza and BonBiza Island.
Prefer baking directly over an open fire? The Esschert cast iron pizza plate on three legs can be placed right in the fire bowl. Keep in mind this is an open plate, not a closed oven. Browse all pizza ovens and accessories.
Tips for baking pizza in an outdoor pizza oven
Baking pizzas is basically easy. Nevertheless, it is always useful to keep some things in mind to make pizza baking even easier.
Tip 1: Preheat your pizza stone
Make sure both the oven and the stone are hot before baking. If the stone is too cold, the base won't crisp. If it's too hot, the crust may burn while the rest remains undercooked.
Tip 2: Use flour wisely
Too much or too little flour can affect the outcome. Prepare the dough on a lightly floured surface, ideally on the pizza peel. If there's excess flour on the bottom, gently wipe it off.
Tip 3: Use a pizza peel
A pizza peel makes it easy and safe to place the pizza in the oven. Keep the pizza slightly smaller than the peel to avoid sticking. Dust the peel with flour before use, avoid baking paper, and consider turning the pizza halfway through baking for an even base.
