I was using bread flour on the outside of the dough while I stretched it, but i used semolina flour on the outside this time. Wonderful. It gave the pizza little bumps all over it, enhancing more of the texture than flavor. 350g water 15g salt 15g olive oil 100g sourdough starter 500g bread flour

Thanksgiving: we put out the cranberry gel as a nod to the industrialized war rations we have been eating since WW2 that took the place of food.

More Thanksgiving: A 4-cup Pyrex measuring cup makes a great gravy boat, and my Brod & Taylor bread proofer works great for keeping food hot, cycling on and off to keep the temp right. Use pots with lids for serving.

More Thanksgiving. One of my sourdough loaves is just over 2lbs, so this recipe worked well for stuffing: www.delish.com/cooking/reci...

My Masterbuilt turkey fryer works just fine, and it doesn't cast Fireball.

The Masterbuilt turkey fryer works just fine for chicken wings, too! I rubbed these in black pepper, k salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder substitute, cayenne pepper, baking powder, then fried. The seasoning pretty much stayed on! Made a sauce of butter, dis white vinegar, and the same seasonings!

The masterbuilt turkey fryer honestly works. Indoor use is fine. That's a 14lbs bird in peanut oil. It took maybe 1.5hrs or something. It was fine. The white meat was not dry. I also used it for French fries. It worked well!

F-ing double ear infection that won't go away, despite antibiotics, so I made myself some comfort food. Mom Wilson's Canadian-style bacon, my sourdough toast, those blue eggs from the store (because they remind me of my old chickens' eggs) and French fries from peanut oil.

Sourdough Brioche buns! I used this recipe, but instead of yeast, I used 80g of starter. I will say, this only makes about 8 buns, possibly 6 if you want them bigger. sallysbakingaddiction.com/homemade-bri...

New Pizza Sauce recipe: I tried this, and I like it. This is the sauce going forward. All the garlic/onion alternatives are an attempt to keep it lower in FODMAPs for IBS.

An even 60% hydration on this sourdough pizza with Mom Wilson's hickory smoked sausage! The sauce: 1 can whole peeled San Marzano tomatoes puréed, shaved parmesan, some sugar, lemon juice, garlic infused olive oil, bay leaves, oregano, basil, thyme, black pepper, salt

Korned* beef from Mom Wilson's, some purple cabbage (doesn't look red to me), and red potatoes (they are red in the outside), two cans of Guinness, and some green onion powder, black pepper. It was like 3hrs at 350f on the meat, then like 30min on the potatoes, maybe 35min w/ added cabbage

I left the 58% hydration dough from my sourdough pizza sit out for like 6hrs at room temp, but then I forgot it in the fridge for about 8 days! It had gotten swolled in the fridge, and it made the best pizza: 525f on a screen, bottom rack. Top rack broil to finish.

Our last day in The Midnight Isles, book 4 of Wrath of the Righteous Righteous adventure path: we survived. It could have gone better, but it could have gone much worse. Goodbye, purple archipelago.

Wow, I did not need that unnecessarily high hydration dough at all! This dough is around 60%: 500g bread flour, 300g water, 13g salt, 13g olive oil, 100g Sourdough Starter. Way better! I used a third of the dough to make a meatball calzone! Could probably go as low as 55% and be fine.

Hot pockets, or calzones.. That's ribeye with green onion, mushroom, and green bell pepper with salt, pepper, garlic scape powder, thyme, SnS Steakhouse seasoning, and parsley fried on cast iron, wrapped in my Sourdough pizza dough, with provolone! I did a turkey, cheddar, and broccoli one, too.

Oops 😬 left it out too long! Sourdough noodles: 1.5 cups flour (most will work), 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup Starter. Works for beef/chicken and noodles, spaghetti, chicken noodle soup, etc. Roll it out. Cut it up. Boil them, or add directly to dishes with boiling broth.

Yeeeaaahhh! Sourdough pizza dough with homemade sauce. Turkey pepperoni and turkey sausage! Baked on a convection oven screen! Normal electric oven, though.
