Hi, I’m Randy Aikens from Strong Hungry Creative. How can I help?

From Randy’s pizza content, a few pieces of gear show up over and over because they make a big difference in both crust and consistency:

  1. Pizza oven: A Gozney-style outdoor pizza oven for high heat and fast bakes
  2. High‑protein bread flour: Brands like King Arthur Flour for strong gluten and great chew
  3. A good pizza peel for launching and turning pies
  4. A sturdy bench scraper and dough containers for handling sourdough and bulk fermentation
  5. Infrared thermometer (or at least careful preheating) to be sure the stone/oven is truly hot

What are you baking on now: standard home oven, stone, steel, or an outdoor oven?
