Pizza stones is also called baking stones. It is the best choice for baking bread, Pizza, and meats. Pizza baking stones is made from Cordierite which can assist high temperature at least 600℃. Pizza stones can absorb water to keep food dry at the bottom.
How to choose Pizza baking stones
When choosing the Pizza stone, we need measure the size of the roaster. The baking stones size should be smaller than the roaster otherwise it could not be put it into the roaster. We can choose round shape or square shape of baking stones. And normally, as bread is larger than Pizza, we put Pizza in medium layer, and put bread in bottom layer.
How to use it
We should put cool Pizza baking stones into the roaster before we preheat the roaster. If we preheat the roaster firstly then put into the Pizza stones, we should reheat the roaster again,it is troublesome and it is not good for the using life of the baking stones. It is better to keep the temperature of Pizza stones, roaster and dough in little vary. We put the baking stones in roaster and set temperature 250℃ for preheat.
How to put Pizza onto a hot baking stone
After preheating,we should put the bread into the roaster. Firstly we should ensure the bread not stick onto the panel.How to ensure it ? usually we have following choice as below,
1.Oil
2.Baking oil paper
3.Fine flour
4.Coarse flour
Normally most people will choose baking oil paper,it is the most convenient choice. But the disadvantage is that it is easy to become black due to the high temperature in the roaster. So the best is to remove the baking oil paper after 7-8minuters when the bread be shaped. We’d like to recommend coarse flour such as corn flour, rye flour or whole wheat flour. These types of flour is a little bigger and not easy to be adsorb by the dough and can put dough on baking stones in short time.
How to clean the baking stones?
Cleaning Pizza stones is a very easy thing.After baking Pizza or bread, don’t take out of the baking stone immediately. We can use it to bake some other food such as cookie or use it to support some foods to keep it worm. Only after the baking stones is completely cool can we wash it with water. It is good for the using life of the baking stones.
Don’t use any chemical cleaning agent to wash the Pizza stones. We only need use fresh water to wash it and use sponge to brush it. We don’t need clean out the oil in the Pizza stones. The oil will make the baking stones much better.
