Why Brick Ovens Bake The Perfect Pizza
A brick oven heated to 626 degrees will heat the crust to roughly 392 degrees, while the pizza top receives indirect heat from the oven and stays at 212 degrees as water boils off from the cheese and tomato sauce. After 2 mins, both the pizza top and crust reach perfection. On the other hand, a steel over will heat the pizza to 572 degrees, simply too hot for the dough, which will burn. If you reduce the heat,ย the rest of the pizza won't receive enough heat to boil by the time the crust has cooked โ resulting in cooked dough but undercooked toppings.
