Notes

  1. Pizza looked good, but made it slide off the pizza stone, hence the weird shape.
  2. Pizza dough still undercooked, grill did not heat the stone. Look at other methods to heat the top of the stone.
  3. Sourdough not good, large bubbles make it look underproofed. Dough was very sticky when making pizza, so this makes sense.
