I make great artisan breads and pizza in my Kamado ceramic; it works just
like a wood-fired brick bread oven. Or a tandoor.

First, you need to be able to get your pit up to the appropriate temp for
your baking. For artisan breads and thin crust pizza, this is 500-600°;
conventional breads are often baked around 375°, I think.

Many breads and pizza benefit from cooking on a pizza/baking stone. Get
good thick ones, at least 1" - look on-line or at restaurant supply stores.
Many kitchen stores (and web sites) sell really thin ones which are better
than nothing but not great. Many people use unglazed quarry tiles from Home
Depot or a tile store. Depending on the type of pit you have, you might
want to use more than 1 - one for a heat diffuser so that you get nice even
heat around the bread and one to put the bread on for a nice crust.

www.theartisan.net is a great website for artisan bread baking; if that's
the kind of bread you like. Try to adapt their suggestions for oven baking
to your pit.
