Do you put oil on a pizza stone?
You should NEVER apply oil to a pizza stone. A stone is a porous ceramic surface, unlike the smooth surface of cast iron and it will not season like cast iron. Back the temperature down to the temperature needed 10 minutes before you put the bread/pizza in. Do not put it in water and don’t apply oil to it, EVER!
How does a pizza stone work?
Compared to the metal of a baking sheet, the ceramic material of a pizza stone holds heat more evenly, and the porous surface draws water out of particularly wet areas of the dough as it cooks. Plus, when you preheat the stone, it gives the dough a strong burst of initial heat, puffing up the crust.
Can you use parchment paper on a pizza stone?
