[foodhackingbase] SHA 2017 - Pizza Oven Plan

[iks ypsilon]

I find it an excellent idea. At CCCamp 2015 we had an pizza oven at the
family village, and we were baking pizza for five days. The oven was built
from scratch with clay. (I think we even used the dough mixer from
Milliways, but I may be wrong...)

And I really don't think that there is such a thing like an oversupply of
pizza. But a nice alternative would be to also bake tarte flambé
(Flammkuchen). I find it even easier to handle and scale, since the dough
does not need yeast, also the topping needs less preparation. I recently
baked 135 of these at a village fair in a similar oven :-)

I would definitely volunteer for some shifts.

Regards
Tina
