Baking Steel - DIY ideas?

[Not_A_Llama]

DenCol Steel, Warehouse 3... they had the order ready on Monday morning, after I gave the OK on Friday afternoon. Alas, I was out of town.


Plasma cutting was definitely the right choice. Super glassy-smooth edges and corners. Very much worth the $5/plate.

I scrubbed the dirt and oil off, then applied a layer of flaxseed oil for seasoning.


Got anxious to try. Trader Joe's dough, sauce, mozz, and basil from my backyard (which previously came from TJ's)


Cooling after 4 minutes in the oven, at 500 degrees. Need to learn some dough management techniques. Also, I can do cold dough, now that I don't worry about my pizza stone cracking.


Awesome crust. Can't do this on a pizza stone.
