....I just got my book yesterday and I didn't know that I should have purchased a stone and broiler pan ahead of time.
I should have my copy of the book in later today. I'm really looking forward to it.
However...it never occurred to me that I might need a Pizza Stone.
I just hit the internet an looked up the price of one: $43.00, plus shipping.
Wow! Ow! Make that double-ow. I can think of a lot of things I could use $43.00 on that are a lot more urgent than a Pizza Stone.
Still, if ya gotta, ya gotta...and I really like fresh bread.
Nah. I hit the Internet again.
Apparently Pizza Stones are made out of baked clay.
Well, golly-gee: so are floor tiles.
I'm going to go buy a 16" x 16" terra cotta floor tile (unglazed), and maybe put some nice wooden handles on them.
I'll try it out and let you know how it works.
