Pizza Rotation - Mountain Series
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 Mt. Adams 5' Gas-Fired oven, although the concept can be adapted to any of the other Mountain Series ovens.
Keep in mind the Mt. Baker 6' and Mt. Rainier 7' ovens will have larger zones, while the Mt. Chuckanut 4' will have smaller zones.
For this example we keep the pizzas at approximately 10-12". More details about our pizzas can be found in the Recipe Library.
