Gas Oven versus Electric Oven

My family and I spent a few days in a rental cabin last week. Since no trip is complete without pizza, I packed my gear and ingredients. As I began preparing to bake, I noticed that the oven was a gas powered one. I hadn’t baked pizza in a gas oven before, but I didn’t think it would be much different. I was wrong! Being lazy while packing, I did not take a pizza stone, so the baking took place on pizza screens. I placed them on the bottom rack at 475

degrees for 8 minutes each. The bottom of the crust cooked much faster than normal and one nearly burned (gulp)! The top crust edge remained very light and the cheese hadn’t completely cooked by minute 8. I learned a hard lesson about gas ovens that I won’t soon forget. whether you use a gas oven, let me know whether your experience is similar. I’ll be taking my stones next date for certain.

We still enjoyed the pies, one cheese, one pepperoni and one buffalo chicken. Yum.
