LMJ
Senior Cook
Oven: Gas oven older than I am at 500 degrees
Pizza stone: Bottom of the oven, unglazed bottom of a ceramic floor tile
Recipe: Alton Brown's "Pizza Pizzas" http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/recipe/0,1977,FOOD_9936_13823,00.html
Result: Bottom of the crust came out BLACK. Cheese had just barely started to brown. Sharp provolone is NOT a good pizza cheese, EEK! Sauce was barely there. Crust that wasn't burnt lacked any personality.
Any ideas where I went wrong?
