The black pizza oven on sale

[stacelee]

I'll find my recipe for tortillas and post it later....I'm a bit brain dead at the moment after work, I'm trying to do a grocery order with coles and I can't think of what I need.

I don't flip the tortillas, just plonk them on the hot stone for about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes.  They puff up a little bit but not enough to touch the top element (well one did...but only one).  When I used to make them on my griddle I had to flip them twice and have the two sides of the griddle at slightly different heats to get them to puff....way too fiddly.  I've only tried the flour tortillas in the pizza oven at the moment.  My family prefer them...I prefer the corn tortillas.  I might try them on the weekend and make a tortilla stack with them.

Okay, I'm going to House tomorrow to get one I'll worry about where I am going to keep it later

Haha Kezza! I'll have to add you to the list

[kezza]

Well I didn't get it - House only had the red one and Matchbox didn't have it on special, so will have to wait for a better price.

[Kimmyh]

Bummer kezza and naughty House. The House catalogue i had showed the black one on special. Fingers crossed someone else puts it on special soon for you.

My friend said she was making pizza last night, so I dropped the machine round, and now her hubby wants to buy one   

[obbie]

we should get commission on this.

[jo_nz]

Exactly what I was thinking.

Tried using our pizza oven for the first time in about 12 months yesterdayband it blew all the fuses out in the house!  We were never happy with ours from the start, and its well out of warranty  so in the bin it will go. I've always felt bad that we haven't used it much but now don't feel quilty getting rid of it.

What a bummer Wonder, I think the bin is the safest place for it.  Sounds like you had a dodgy one.

We love ours and use it a lot.

Received a flybuys update in post yesterday and when I was looking through it saw that the pizza oven is offered with a combination of points and $70.  That's really good, except that I don't have enough points at this stage

Hang in there Kezza, it will come.

We use ours almost every week. Have now bought both of Theo's book and tried some of the pizzas from there.

My pizza oven tortillas...

330ml warm water
1 tbs salt
125ml vegetable or olive oil
675g plain flour
¼ tsp baking powder
½ tsp sugar

Place all ingredients in thermomix and knead for 3 minutes scraping bowl if necessary.
 You'll have a slightly sticky, very elastic dough.
Remove the dough from the bowl and use your hands to knead it for a few seconds on a lightly floured work surface, then
form a smooth ball.
Cover the dough with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rest for 10 minutes
Divide the dough into about 30 equal-sized pieces, each a little smaller than a Ping Pong ball for small tortillas or 15 to 16 pieces for larger.
Cover the dough pieces again to stop them from drying out while forming the tortillas.
Take a ball and roll with a rolling pin thinly (as thin as you can without making them tear)
Cook on hot griddle or in pizza machine,

On a griddle you will need to flip them twice, the first time when they start to look a little dry around the edges and brown spots begin to form.  They should puff a little.  Having the two sides of the griddle at slightly different temperatures seems to help.

In the pizza oven, they take between 1 to 2 minutes at approximately heat 2 to 2 ½.  They will take longer the more you are doing as the oven loses heat each time it is opened.  There is no need to flip them.

Store tortillas in a clean teatowel as you are making them to help keep them warm.
