- Gather Materials: You’ll need bricks, cement, sand, fire clay, and refractory cement.
- Build the Base: Create a sturdy base using concrete blocks and fill with gravel.
- Construct the Oven Floor: Lay fire bricks on sand for a smooth cooking surface.
- Build the Dome: Use bricks in a dome shape, sealing with refractory cement.
- Add Insulation: Cover the dome with a mix of sand, clay, and straw for insulation.
- Finishing Touch: Let it dry, then fire it up to cure the materials before cooking your first pizza.
