Pizza stones are particularly useful when you prefer crispy, round pizzas over those made on a baking sheet. With a pizza stone in the oven, you can quickly create delicious pizzas just like your favorite Italian restaurant.

The few basic rules for using a pizza stone correctly are quickly internalized – from then on, nothing stands in the way of enthusiastic baking enjoyment.

Advantages of Using a Pizza Stone for Baking Pizza

The biggest advantage of the pizza stone is that it can release stored heat quickly and evenly. If the pizza is placed on the hot stone, it rises extremely quickly. In addition, a moisture exchange takes place at this moment: At the beginning, the stone removes moisture from the pizza, which makes it particularly crispy. The baking process is also much faster than with a tin pizza – the pizza is ready after just 5 to 10 minutes.

To do this, you have to allow a little more time at the beginning to heat up the pizza stone. The heating time for the pizza stone is usually specified by the manufacturer and is usually 30 to 45 minutes – 30 minutes in the case of Tyrolit Life, whose pizza stone can absorb heat particularly efficiently thanks to a special waffle structure on the bottom.

Pizza Stone in the Oven or on the Grill

Not only in the oven can you bake pizza with a baking stone as if from a professional oven; using the pizza stone on the grill gives this traditional dish a whole new dimension. On the grill, significantly higher temperatures can be reached, which once again alters the baking result.

To save space on the grill, Tyrolit Life has developed the Flex pizza stone. Built according to the puzzle principle, it easily finds space on the grill rack to prepare not only the burger patties, but also the brioche buns. 

What You Can Make on a Pizza Stone

Did you know that the pizza stone can do more than just bake pizza and tarte flambée? In this post, we will show you many more possibilities.

Baking on the Pizza Stone – Not Just for Pizza

The name “pizza stone” suggests that it is primarily used for baking delicious pizzas. But that’s not all you can do with the pizza stone. Instead, it is suitable for preparing all kinds of baked goods, to which it gives a very special touch due to its constant heat output.

For instance, it’s possible to prepare tarte flambée, focaccia, rolls, bread, or various flatbreads on the pizza stone. You can also bake yeast dough products on the pizza stone – from braided loaves to croissants.

So you can see that there are hardly any limits to your imagination when using your Tyrolit Life pizza stone!
