We were invited over our friends' house on Friday night for Pizza. They have a beautiful 200 year old farmhouse and their living room has a large fireplace with a bread oven on one side. It is in such good condition that I asked how old it was, and it is original. In this day & age it is hard to imagine building something in my house that would look good and still be usable 200 years later. Times have changed!
Every once in a while they get this oven going and have a pizza night. I love pizza and the company was good so I knew I would be in for a fun evening. What I didn't know was how delicious the pizza was going to be. This first picture is right after the pizza went into the oven.
You can see here that the fire has died down some but the oven temp was quite hot. The pizza was pulled out and turned periodically so it would cook evenly.
Done! The flavor was unlike any I had ever eaten. Very smokey and tasty. Lite on the cheese with artichokes, sauteed onions, mushrooms, and some feta.
