Pizza Rotation - Fire Deck
Cooking Education Part I: Pizza Rotation for 1 Pizza
With a basic understanding of a few key points cooking pizzas in a stone-hearth oven is easy. The first lesson is Pizza Rotation for 1 pizza. (Then we will move on to Pizza Rotation for 3-6 pizzas.)
Equipment note: The following example represents a Fire Deck 8645 Gas-Fired oven, although the concept can be adapted to a Fire Deck 6045.
Keep in mind that the smaller Fire Deck 6045 oven will have a smaller cooking surface, but the basic principles will remain the same.
For this example we keep the pizzas at approximately 10-12". More details about our pizzas can be found in the Recipe Library.
