BAKING IN THE WOOD FIRE OVEN
•
Your Golden Embers wood fired oven may be used to cook bake and grill almost anything. The unique design of
the oven chamber results in a unique combination of grilling, baking infra red and convection type heat being
created simultaneously.
•
When baking a pizza you may use either pre-baked pizza bases or raw dough. Raw dough is always preferable for
taste and tradition whereas pre-baked bases are preferred for speed and convenience. Depending on the dough
recipe and the quality of flour being used it is often desirable to par-bake your pizza bases. This removes the
possibility of the base ever having raw dough in its centre, which often happens whey your oven temperature is
either too high or too low, or the temperature balance between the floor and the chamber is not correct.
•
For purposes of efficient stock control, speedier customer service and quality control may operators have chosen
par baked bases (done in house or bought in). A par baked pizza base will have a fridge life of 2 - 3 days and a
freezer life of several weeks.
•
Several pizzas may be baked simultaneously in the Golden Embers pizza oven. As the oven heat is concentrated in
he vicinity of the fire you should use the supplied pizza paddle to rotate the bases and ensure even baking.
Alternatively you can fit the optional separator (or fire guard) which effectively separates the fire from the cooking
area eliminating direct infra red exposure to the pizzas and thus minimising (or even eliminating) the need to rotate
the pizzas during the baking process.
•
To rotate a pizza simply insert the pizza paddle under the corner of the pizza, twist the paddle so as to lift the pizza
onto it’s opposite edge and using a gentle push/turning action rotate the pizza on the oven floor as if it were a
wheel. With a little practice you will soon be an expert.
•
To avoid waste whilst you practice it is suggested you practice in an unlit oven with several pre-baked pizza bases
until you are satisfied with your level of competence. The more competent you become with the pizza paddle the
more pizzas you will be able to cook at any one time. For example, in the 1 metre oven a novice will easily manage
3 10 inch pizzas, a partially competent paddle user will manage 4 or 5 10 inch pizzas and someone very competent
with the pizza paddle will easily cope with 6 or even 7 10 inch pizzas in the oven at once.
