Here are a few things you will need if you want to get into making pizza from scratch
- A small digital scale that can weight down to 0.01 gr
- Very useful for cold fermentation pizza
- Normal digital scale
- Pizza cutter/scrapper
- I like the scrapper style easier to get the dough out of the container
- Pizza steel or pizza stone
- From my research, the steel does a better job
- Optional Stand mixer
- I have now ditched using it and knead by hand for most recipe
- Pizza peel
- Because you don’t want to burn those finger
- Optional Laser temperature gun
- Totally optional but definitely a nice toy! Lets you know how hot the steel is
- Measuring spoon and measuring cup
- Large airtight container
- Semolina
- I use this on the pizza peel so the dough doesn’t stick, a small amount goes a long way
Of course, it goes without saying if you have a wood oven it’s the best thing you can have to cook a pizza but those cost ~2000$. An alternative with propane is the OONI oven which can go up to 900F . It cost 500 USD and you can cook a pizza in 90 seconds.
