Tinned pizza oven

Submitted by eeo_03 on

You take an uncoated, empty tin, bend a small grill rack, make two holes in the tin to hang a wire loop, place a mini pizza on the rack, push the rack into the tin and place the tin in the fire. And the pizza is ready to bake.

Material

  • Fireplace
  • Wood
  • Tins
  • Fine fence mesh
  • Wire
  • Awl (e.g. from a sack knife)
  • Side cutter
  • Stick
  • Pizza ingredients: Dough, tomato sauce, cheese, etc...

Building the oven:

  1. Poke two holes in the can with the awl.
  2. Cut off a piece of wire approx. 12 cm long with the side cutter.
  3. Thread the two ends of the wire into the holes and bend them over so that there is a loop on the tin that you can use to take it out of the fire with a stick.
  4. Cut out a suitable piece of grid with the side cutter to use as a baking grid. You should be able to put it in and take it out easily.

Preparing the pizza

  • Place the pizza dough on the baking tray with the desired ingredients.
  • Place the grid in the tin and place the tin in the embers or in the fire.
  • Wait 2-5 minutes depending on the heat and thickness of the pizza. (thin pizzas will be better)
  • Remove the tin with the stick, remove the grid and enjoy the pizza.
