Hi Pete, if you are ever looking for 00 flour in DC, check out Vace in Cleveland Park. I got a bag there last month, but have been too lazy to make pizza yet. They also have semolina flour, which is great for pasta.

Re: a hot oven for baking pizza, have you tried the cast iron fry pan technique? The Washington Post had an article about it in yesterday’s food section, but it was written up in the “serious eats” blog a few year’s ago, and it’s the technique I’ve been using since I read it there . . . except that instead of using my cast iron skillet, I use my cast iron griddle and don’t have to turn it upside down. Turn on the broiler, and heat it up the cast iron griddle (or fry pan) on the stove top while I’m forming and topping the pizza, put the griddle (or fry pan upside down) under the broiler (with nothing on it yet) for about 5 minutes, then slide the pizza onto the griddle or pan bottom, slide under broiler — pizza is ready in about 3 minutes! BTW, I use your white sauce recipe and LOVE it!

i have just learned about the 00 Flour and found it very difficult to find. King Arthur Brand makes an Italian flour that is suppose to be very similar (never have using the original it is hard for me to compare) The taste is awesome, but found the dough a little soft, rips easy, have to be very gentle when stretching. Today I am mixing bread flour with the KA to see if works better….

I’ve tried my hand at pizza twice…two different recipes and I didn’t like either. Although, the second wasn’t as bad as the cornmeal crust pizza. Looking at your pizza here makes me want to try making one again.

We are really into making pizza lately, too. This weekend we did a bbq chicken, caramelized onion, and pineapple pizza- yum! You can buy OO flour at Balducci’s in the Washington Area (McLean, Alexandria). I haven’t used it in pizza dough- I usually use bread flour– but it would be worth a try.

thanks for the link to Kalustyan’s–it’s incredible how many things they sell!
As for pizza, have you had potato and onion pizza flavored with rosemary? I first heard of it and tried it in Italy. I remember thinking the carb-on-carb concept was too decadent, and wouldn’t work. I was wrong. It’s awesome! Now I need to get me some of that 00-flour

yeah, the girl got a dslr, and she’s kind enough to let me borrow it (and snap a few pics herself), so i figured it was time to make them a bit bigger.
