barg ck. barg.
this is the sound i make when i am frustrated with the idea of food. (i think barg is also a persian dish like a kabob or something but this is entirely coincidence)
anyway, barg.
my wife is doing a girls night out with some other bitches and I get to take care of our little girl and cook tonight.
i just moved into a nice new house with a convection oven.. and i bought a cast iron pan because it's the latest maymay bullshit and i thought i'd check it out for myself. i mean.. shit they cost nothing.
i am tempted to do a deep dish pizza... but i can't get up the gumption to actually mix up the dough.
barg ck. barg.
i also bought some turkey legs to do in a slow cooker tomorrow but i got home and realized i don't have any beef broth or onion soup mix (which is how i usually slow cook muh turkey legs) liquid smoke has also expired...
barg.

You sound like a retarded dog

I've been called that, and much worse, before.
Well..
I followed the following ingredients and threw it in a stand mixer.
1 3⁄8 cups lukewarm water
3⁄4 tablespoon granulated yeast (3/4 packet, room temperature)
3⁄4 tablespoon salt
1⁄2 tablespoon sugar
1⁄8 cup extra virgin olive oil (the fruitier the oil, the better the flavor)
3 1⁄4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
dough looked a little loose so i threw in an extra quarter cup of flour and now it looks about right..
it'll mix for about 6 more minute on low with the hook and then i'll go back to playing with my daughter and contemplating the human experience for a couple hours.
I'm pretty sure any expiration date on liquid smoke is bullshit and its almost certainly fine to use.
>>7577877
don't forget to oil your cast iron pan, put it in the oven and clean it thoroughly for the first and last time. don't be "that guy" that uses his cast iron like any other pan, don't be "that guy" that cleans his cast iron pan with water or chemicals.

I felt this way too.. but then i realized it was 2012... also found some unrefrigerated balsamic vinegar with an expo date of 2014... had a similar feeling
they both went down the drain. i'll be getting some fresh stuff next time im out... probably later today because i really want those turkey legs tomorrow.

2, 450 gram dough balls.
>>7578008
should be properly ready in time for dinner around eastern standard time.
turning out to be a pretty nice little sunday afterall.
>>7578008
Well what's the topping going to be OP?
>>7578004
You know vinegar doesn't spoil, right? And heck the whole point of balsamic vinegar is that it's been aged for years (unrefrigerated). Why would it suddenly go bad now?
>>7578011
Mushrooms and onions.
If I had some sopressata I would be all over it with that.. but my mother in law is living with me and I am trying to make her want to leave by only cooking vegetarian around her.
Also.. trying to get a hold of my parents to see if they want to come hang out and offset the MIL... I will ask them to bring some top shelf meatza ingredients if they are going to show...
>>7578018
Wusthof hasn't been sharpened in 4 yrs desu.
I sorta like just these toppings, but I also hope someone can show up with some mfing meats.
>>7578021
I got these from "textsfromyourexistentialist" dort corm.
There are some past ones that are no longer in print that I can't find..
There was one about staring into the void and I didn't get a digital copy of it before she sold it out and stopped listing it on her site.
The daughter this is pretty cool. I think they are a lot easier than boys, at least when they are little. boys are little terrors. I think girls are worse when they get older but that has yet to pass.
Having a kid out of marriage is probably a shitty situation and a bad idea.. but if you find the right girl and get married and what-nots then it's the next logical progression of experiencing what it is to be an animal on this planet whose life cycle works through sexual reproduction.
It forces a lot of maturity, and realization on you about things like mortality and aging.
I've seen it turn slackers into working class heroes.. and i've seen it drive men to insanity.
I was a millionaire playboy for decades and then decided to settle it down so for me it was more of a decision and hasn't changed me too much on a personal level, other than it has changed what i do with my time and who i can hang out with reliably. some of the buds are still stags and it's hard to hang with them if the wife can't take over with the kid for a bit...

I'm glad someone brought this up.. I bought a lodge off amazon.com. it was shipped quickly and stuff.
but it showed up with a black sort of coating on it from the manufacturing process. The literature claimed it was "pre-seasoned" but i licked it and didn't taste anything... so i assume that the coating was some sort of machining or release coating so that it would come out of the casting process.
i had to scrub it with sos pads for like an hour before i hit bare metal but eventually i did and now i have a clean pan i can cook in. I oiled it a little so it won't rust. don't worry i have a materials engineering degree and I think I know what I am doing.
>>7578118
I should mention i cooked eggs in it this morning and they came out fine.
The pizza will be the second thing cooked in it.
>>7577877
Getting a bready good rise here..
>>7578144
>>7578144
was making yeast breasts part of your plan?
>>7578176
Not really. I was just gonna make enough dough for 2 pizzas...
But I am getting enough rise that I am starting to contemplate baking one as a loaf...
I just bought bagels and sandwich bread at the store though.
I might punch one down and freeze it for another night.

For you pervs.
Time to dock one...
Docked.
Oh yissss.
Wish me luck!
>>7578321
good luck i guess
>>7578329
I probably cooked it for like 6 minutes or so on the stove before putting it in a 300 degree convection oven..
how long does /ck think it will take?
>>7578321
I'm 60/40 there with you.
>>7578336
no idea desu, never used a cast iron pan.
maybe like 10 minutes, if you preheated the oven
>>7578321
good luck
>>7578336

>>7578351
it's been about 15. i bumped the temp up to 350 at 10 minutes
i'm getting some color on the cheese now.. i just turned it around.
I'm thinking 20 minutes maybe total time.. and i think bumping to 350 might have been a mistake. i think cooking it in a pan like this just means longer cooking times.. need lower heat for it maybe.. then high heat to finish brown.
gotta get a good bake going.
Not a lot of color dev on sides but bottom looks good. I'm gonna let it sit in the warm pan for another 5 to 10. It was probably in I've for about 20.
>>7578360
The only thing I worry about is tomato in a cast iron pan.
Good crust dev on bottom. Came clean out of pan.
>>7578413
I think it needs butter instead of just olive oil.
The flavor isn't quite pizza hut standards on the "fried" crust.
Might have needed to preheat the skillet a little more than i did too... i heated it up and was getting a little oil bubbling on the sides of the pan but i think a little hotter might have been better.
I used bread flour in my dough.. i think all purpose might have been better for frying like this...
I ended up just baking the other loaf instead of doing pizza with it. It came out ok in the cast iron.
>>7579313
bottom is nice n' crusty
Turkey legs in the crock, with an onion soup base as the start of a gravy.
