Wood Oven Cooking day

Today we had a more relaxing day as Wardli's 3 and 4 were cooking pizza's. We were going to use Wambana's special wood oven to do so. Paul was our instructor today and he gave us all the instructions into how to make the home made pizza's.
The wood oven cooking day was very familiar to me because we do this at my grandparents. Today we made dough as a pizza base and cooked home made pizza's in the pizza oven. The cheat to cooking with the wood oven is not to put too much topping on the pizza's. You can just have a cheese pizza and it will taste fantastic in the wood oven.
To heat up a wood oven you have to light a fire in the oven. You leave the fire in that oven for a few hours until it is hot enough to cook pizza's. The fire is then moved to the side so pizza's can slide in. You leave the pizza's in only for a few minutes and when it looks nice and brown, you take them out.
I don't know why but people had an obsession in making small pizza's. So instead of making a few pizza's we made many small pizza's. Though they still tasted fantastic. We could put anything we like on the pizza's and Paul would just chuck them in the wood oven. After we had the pizza, wardli 3 (my wardli) prepared the pork and vegetables for tonight's dinner. We were going to cook them in the pizza oven. I wasn't responsible for what times they were put in but when they were taken out for us to have dinner, they were very nice and crispy. The pork's crackling was delicious.
