This is also old news at this point. Our friend María, a Spaniard who started as a volunteer and now works full time for the parish in Andahuaylillas, has a stone oven in her backyard. Last month we got together one weekend and tried making pizza in the oven. Unfortunately the bottom of the oven isn't flat, so the first two pizzas got wrecked when we tried to slide them out on the peel. We wised up and baked the other two on trays.
Baking in this oven was tough because none of us have ever worked with a wood-fired oven before. You can't just set the temperature and wait, you have to constantly monitor it. We still have lots to learn before we can do it well.
