So...I go over to Tim and Connie's one day...and they had just gone to some local area where clay was literally in the ground and brought a bunch home. I hear the news they are building an outdoor earth oven...planning to make pizzas and breads.
Okay...I'm not thrown for a curve, because well...isn't this what one comes to expect hanging around artsy friends??? As an artist/musician type myself, I totally connect...so instead I'm like..."really? Wow...!!! Cool!!! So...how will this work???"
So...if you follow our blog of the arts that happen here in the north woods of Wisconsin, I wonder how many have one day just decided to get a bunch of clay and build an outdoor oven? One thing is sure...one connects with a long history of many indigenous cultures doing something like this!!!
A good fire going inside!!!
Yummm yum...pizza sitting in the hot hot coals...on tiles
Dale delightfully takes on the task of cutting the pizza...!!! Success!
A couple more pics added here...the bread is phenomenal, and Tim is on to a great flour/recipe...first getting the fire good and hot, about an hour Tim says, roughly 450-500 degrees...
The bread has wonderful texture, and is amazingly good, just about better than any I can recollect...and to think, from a mound of clay!!!
Gettin' er stoked up!!!
Look at that!!!!
Check out that texture and crust...and believe me, this is so so good!!!
Now that is what i call Artisan Bread, Love the creation of the oven. There are so many things that don't cost a cent to have fun with life.
