I first thought it was a new dough recipe I was using, but I've returned to the old one and the problem hasn't gone away. I was making pizzas fine for two months and now I can't seem to make one without it sticking.

The first pizza comes out okay, but then the sticking gets progressively worse. Attached is a photo of the residue left afterward -- not even the worst of it.

Any suggestions? If anything, I'd say my heat management has gotten better as I'm able to keep a good flame going throughout the baking process and hearth temperatures are between 800-900 degrees consistently.

Greetings! We just finished a Pompeii oven in Wisconsin. It's been in the 30's at night and 40/50's in the day. The oven has rested about 2 weeks, and we went through the curing fire schedule over the past week. Our fire today was about 1 1/2-2 hours and we were just about 700 degrees, but were having trouble holding that temp without adding a lot more wood. We didn't ever seem the black to white changes on the dome top. How was our fire too small? Should it be roaring? After looking at some of the photos, our dome is pretty high (but built to the plan) The pizza was good tasting... after I botched the peel and most of the pizza was upside down! Still great, and not too worried. Just need some tips from the pros. Thanks! ]]> Heat Management sholding http://www.fornobravo.com/forum/f17/help-newbie-8403.html
