What's for Dinner?

[Boatboy24]

I need a recipe for a good pizza dough - one without a memory that will stretch out thin.

I've been using this: Pizza Dough {Master Recipe} – A Couple Cooks and experimenting with varying proportions of AP flour and 00 flour. Somewhere between 60 and 80% AP seems to be the zone for me, dependent upon where I'm cooking. In the oven at 550 does better with higher proportions of AP. If I'm going on the grill where I can get 600F or sometimes even close to 700, the 00 flour does better.

It is MUCH better if you make, let it do the initial rise, then store in the fridge for 3 days, as the instructions state in the link.

Need the deets please!

Oven or Weber?
Time and temp?

Looks PDG!

Dough: Pizza Dough {Master Recipe} – A Couple Cooks. 75% AP Flour, 25% Caputo 00.
Sauce: San Marzano Tomato Pizza Sauce Recipe | The Home Pizzeria (I add about 1/2tsp of red wine vinegar for a little zing)

Made up on Saturday, so only 24 hours in the fridge - much better flavor after 3 days though.

550F oven, preheated for an hour before the first pie went on. Each one was 6-8 minutes - I didn't time it, so not exactly sure. I took them off when they looked done. I should've taken that one off a tad sooner. I focus too much on browning that crust and it can get a little crunchy on the outside.

I use King Arthur Lancelot hi-gluten flour when possible. It holds up to the high temperature of the KettlePizza better than lower gluten flours. The recipe will work with any flour I've noticed.

I use 3/4 cup of filtered or RO water since I sometimes add some sourdough discard to the dough for flavor. Usually ends up about 2 1/4 cups of flour per dough after the rest and the last addition.

Thank you. I hadn't seen that one before. I'll give it a try!

Thanks for all your replies and suggestions for pizza dough. I'm ready to start my trials. One last question .... do you guys put the pizza on a stone or directly on the oven/grill rack?

Stone

Stone

 

[ceeaton]

Very hot stone with a steel on the rack above it on the grill.

Pretty much a mash up of ground beef, onion, garlic, various seasonings, elbow macaroni, diced tomatoes, and chicken stock. Topped w/ cheese and scallions. Wishing I had some real cheddar to shred, but sadly only had the bagged crap.

Shrimp fra diavolo from the other night, but with fresh sauce (thai chiles) and fresh linguine, with lots of parmagiano-reggiano. Leftover Swiss chard. Green beans with sauteed mushrooms and shallots, saucified with Cambazola blue cheese.

Hello? Is this thing on?

Anyway, tonight we enjoyed: Sautéed fennel; tabouleh (macerated shallots, lemon juice, cilantro, tomatoes, preserved lemons); collard greens, sauteed in freshly rendered pork lard, simmered with beef bones and ho-made beef stock; grilled Pacific cod, with mango/jalapeño salsa (with macerated shallots, cilantro, lime). Only after I started my mis-en-place did I realize how large the overlap is between the ingredients of the tabouleh and the mango salsa!

It was time for our bi-annual Pierogi Special!

We made it "New Mexico True" of course by adding Hatch green chile into the mix. The toppings were carmelized onions, fresh mushrooms, bacon and of course sour cream.

Paired PDW with a bottle of Mr. Pink!

Tonight we enjoyed roasted delicata squash (coriander); stir-fried bok choy and peppers 🌶; Japanese eggplant marinated in soy/sesame/ginger then roasted; and a grass-fed t-bone marinated in soy/sesame/garlic/ginger/molasses, then grilled to rare.

Threw some boneless, skinless chicken breast into this last night. Story at 11...



(yes, it was a challenge getting the chicken into that bottle)

They pulled all the Goya off the shelves at Smiths several months ago........

That looks good. I have a couple bottles of the regular Mojo still.

Was that a political statement, or did they have some other reason?

Wegman's was out of the regular Mojo, but I love that smokey chipotle flavor, so I figured I'd give it a try.

If I had to take a WAG I would say political stance.

Focaccia on the grill, not used tonight! Broccoli, steamed, then seared on grill, doused with lemon/butter/caper/garlic sauce. Griilled ribs of Swiss chard topped with parmesan cheese. Red potatoes, roasted on grill, then fried in a cast-iron pan in lamb fat on the grill. And grilled salmon, served with a sauce of sage, honey, and browned butter.
