Pizza Baking Stones

There is nothing better than a golden, crispy pizza crust to make a delicious pizza, perfect. With the use of good quality pizza baking stones and a little know how, this can be accomplished. Pizza just as delectable, if not better, than restaurant pizza is easy to attain right at home.

The secret to a crispy pizza crust is within the pizza stones, themselves. Unlike average metal pizza pans, pizza baking stones are made from a porous material, such as earthenware or ceramic. The porous material absorbs any moisture that presents itself during baking, thus providing crispness of the crust and/or baked goods, rather than allowing the moisture to settle on the surface and become reabsorbed within the dough. The material of the pizza stones also allows for a more even distribution of heat, allowing for a more even baking result.

Baking stones can be bought in either a square shape or a round shape. For a more traditional pizza baking style, a round stone may be the most desired, however square shaped stones work exactly the same and can be used to bake cookies or other such baked goods. It is important to keep in mind that the pizza stones will be much heavier than an average pizza or baking pan, so the larger the stone, the heavier the weight.

Once the decision and purchase of the pizza baking stone has been made, be sure to read any enclosed instructions, to learn the specifics of the stone. Overall, using pizza baking stones are very easy and simple. Start with a clean, dry pizza stone, making sure not to use any types of soaps or detergents. Place the cold pizza stone in a cold oven. This is a very important and key factor to remember. If a cold stone is placed within a hot oven, the stone is very susceptible to cracking and breaking. Allow both the oven and stone to heat evenly - usually at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes.

While the oven and pizza stone are heating, simply make the pizza, as desired, and then place on the heated stone to bake. It is a good idea to sprinkle cornmeal on the pizza stone prior to placing the pizza on it to make for easier removal. It is important to remember not to use any types of oil or cooking sprays on pizza baking stones because this can considerably compromise the effectiveness of the pizza stones.

Once the pizza is baked, remove the stone from the oven with heatproof gloves or a similar product. Remove the pizza using a plastic or silicon spatula prior to cutting. It is important to remember not to use sharp or pointy objects on pizza baking stones. This can nick or scratch the surface, resulting in poor performance of the pizza stone in the future.

Cleaning of the stone is simple and easy, as well. Simply wash in warm water - using no soap or detergents. If there are stuck-on problem areas, gently scrap the food with a silicone scrapper or a soft bristled brush. Allow to air dry.

Crisp, delicious pizza crust is simple, with the use of pizza baking stones. Restaurant quality at home, at the fraction of the cost - made your way.
