WOOD FIRED NEWSLETTER
Hello Forno Bravo Family,
Tenaciousness in difficult circumstances is an admirable trait. In this edition of the Wood Fired Newsletter, we celebrate the tough, the unique, and the creative folks who are a beautiful part of our large community of customers and friends. Help us recognize these folks by reading and sharing their stories, trying their recipes, and by participating in our Summer Photo Contest.
Just a quick reminder, we are now fully into our summer high season and the factory is hopping! So, if you are thinking of purchasing an oven, get your order in today! We would love to assist you.
When an EF1 Tornado hit San Antonio recently at 100 MPH, it did quite a bit of damage to Billy Bradley’s back yard. The one thing it didn’t do was damage or move his new Giardino70 modular pizza oven kit! Check out the before and after pictures of this wood fired survivor.

Making Pan Pizza Dough Using a Poolish Starter by Chef Leo
While thin crust is delicious, deep dish pizza continues to create fans around the country. A great, master, slow-fermented dough can be used for several different pizza styles. In this 3-part video series, Chef Leo Spizzirri, Master Instructor at the North American Pizza and Culinary Academy, takes you through preparing a poolish starter, mixing and dividing the dough, and baking an incredible Grandma Style Cheese and Meatball Pizza that is perfect for a home dinner.
Our friend, Chef Eric Wilson at FoodTerra.com, has created a unique side dish that will impress your guests... and your tastebuds. Radicchio is actually a member of the chickory family. It has plenty of micronutrients, along with a spicy, bitterness that mellows and sweetens when you roast or bake it. Paired with the sweet and acidic ingredients in this recipe, the balanced flavors strike a refreshing summer note.
