Perfect Pizza on the Last Day

On the last day we made one more try with the oven. I started the fire about 2:15. The temperature of the clay when I started was 90 degrees so obviously the sun had already done some warming. By 4:15 the clay near the surface was up to 290 degrees and the inside of the oven was well over 500. Marlene had the pizza ready to go. She used her regular dough and rolled it thin. Then she added tomato sauce, mushrooms, onions, feta cheese, olives, and a little bit of parmesean sprinkled on top.





She slid the pizza off the peel and we sat back to wait about 20 minutes.




When we opened the door it was to a beautifully baking pizza, but it was not quite done.

Another 10 minutes and I removed what appeared to be the perfect pizza. All that was left was the taste test.

Look at this. You can almost taste the flavors that exploded in our mouths.
Everone who had some could not stop raving about the taste and the crispy yet soft crust.

And so ended our last day at Quartzsite in Boomerville.

I love your "choice" of rolling pins...Bet that pizza was great! Makes my mouth water just thinking about it.
