Equipment

  • - Pizza Stone: A high-quality stone helps to cook the crust evenly and achieve a perfect, chewy texture similar to traditional brick ovens.

  • - Oven Thermometer: Ensuring your pizza oven is at the ideal temperature (around 475-500°F or 245-260°C) can make all the difference in crust quality.

  • - Pizza Peel: A sturdy peel allows you to easily slide pizzas onto and off a preheated stone without any hassle.

  • 1 garlic clove, minced

  • 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil

  • 1 1/4 pound eggplant, cut into 3/4-inch-thick rounds

  • 5 ounces sliced provolone, cut into short thin matchsticks (1 1/4 cups)
