Finally! 
Last week I made the first proper pizza on the stone, and it worked ok(-ish)!
The problem was that I ran out of flour to roll the dough on (really daft, I know!) so I ended up having to use cornmeal which wasn't quite as good as the dough was a bit too sticky (I've bought in loads more flour this time
).
Anyway, it tasted really nice but the shape of the base was somewhat lacking due to it being impossible to roll when the sticky.
Lesson learned for next time though

damn, I'm hungry now ...
The 10th one will be the best ...
Who cares what it looks like, homemade is ALWAYS nicer, more tasty, more healthy & fun.
There are a load of "meals" you can bake on the stone too.

Don't worry about the shape Ian, that looks a really tasty pizza, so well done I agree with Mucks, home made has much more flavour than the "cardboard" stuff you buy in packets. Hmmm, somehow I think it will be pizza for lunch here today too, after seeing that!
