Grill, Fire Pit & Pizza Oven
outdoor cooking
We desire our guests to have the safest, most enjoyable outdoor cooking experience possible.
We urge you to view our short videos explaining the proper and safe usage of our stone firepit, stone pizza oven and propane grill.
an adult must attend the fire until it burns out.
It is essential that one adult attends the fire until there are only weak embers in the bottom of the pit and no flames. We are mindful that the house is right next to the State Forest.
Here is our pizza sauce recipe...
We have found this to be the most tasty recipe.
Once recipe makes about 4 of our pizzas.
Make sure to drain the tomatoes before blending!
You can often find many of these ingredients in our garden. The oregano is next to the entrance by the mint.
Add all of the ingredients to the blender. Yes, the San Marzano tomatoes make a difference.
Pulse the mixer just a few times so there is till texture to the sauce.
When you are done the sauce will still have some texture and not be too runny.
Buy pizza dough at the store or...make your own.
This pizza crust recipe works well if you make the dough right before you cook it.
If you place dough in the fridge over time, you will want to cut the yeast to perhaps a 1/4 teaspoon.
Measure out wet ingredients, salt and sugar.
Combine milk, sugar, salt and olive oil. Then heat it in the microwave for 1 minute until warm but not boiling. Then pour it into the mixing bowl.
Soften about 1/2 packet of yeast into 1/2 cup of warm water. If you plan to leave the dough in the fridge for a while, try 1/4 teaspoon of yeast instead so it doesn't rise as much.
Pour yeast mixture into warm (not hot) milk mixture. Use the dough hook attachment to beat the dough.
Measure out 4 cups of 00 pizza flour.
Mix about 1 cup of flour into wet mixture until a thick paste.
Continue slowly mixing in more and more flour.
Once all the flour is absorbed, continue to beat dough for a couple of minutes. Then remove dough.
Make 4 equal balls of dough, place in seperate plastic bags and place in the fridge.. Each one makes one pizza. This dough should be used within a couple of hours.
Roll our each ball.
Place a little bit of corn meal on the peel, under the rolled dough and head to the pizza oven.
