    Re: Supper I made tonight

    So, my camera still sucks, but a few weeks ago I bought an Ooni Koda, a propane fueled pizza oven. it gets to 932f and you can make Neaopolitian style pizza in it in 90 seconds. I cannot find the 00 flour needed to make such pizzas. I did buy a 55# bag of high gluten and have been making NY style pizzas. I made 4 pies tonight, this one for a friend. Cooked it for maybe 4 1/2 minutes at around 650-700f. Made the dough yesterday and let it cold ferment in the fridge for 20 hours. WAY WAY WAY better tasting than anything I could do in my regular oven. I`ve made about uh, 16 pizzas since I got the oven, my few roommates have been helping me dial in my dough and cooking by eating a lot of pizza and giving me feedback. Still got a lot to learn, but the pie I ate today imho was better than any I can get around me. Which isn`t saying much lol, but it`s pretty remarkable how easy it is for someone with no real pizza making experience to make such a tasty pizza with an oven like this. Also a pic of my cart with the oven and a stand mixer on it. I`ve been mixing up a batch of dough every few days when I wake up, then ball it up and toss it in a fridge for a day. Tomorrow I`m going to make a batch I`ll let ferment for 3 days. And yes, once everything is off the top of the prep table I cleaned it with Ech20. I didn`t know where my kitchen cleaner was and that was the 1st thing I could find lol.

    Re: Supper I made tonight

    So last night I went to the store to get fancy cheese with the intentions of making 3 pizzas. I grated the cheese up and was all ready, when my oven wouldn`t turn on because the propane tank was empty. It was late so there was nothing I could do. I was sad sad sad because I had dough that had been fermenting in the fridge for 3 days so it would have been extra good. I looked around the kitchen and saw tortilla chips. I already had cheese grated so BOOM nachos. Easy to make and delicious.

    whole milk mozzarella
    picante provolone
    queso quesadilla (Mexican cheese)
    sharp cheddar
    parmesan reggiano
    a small handful of crumbled creamy blue cheese
    a large amount of sliced pickled jalapenos


    I`ve eaten nachos a thousand times in my life, never thought to put blue cheese on them. But those were the cheeses I planned to use for my white pizza so i figured I`ll try it. If you like blue cheese it`s outstanding on nachos. Definitely unexpected to bite into nachos and taste it though. If you don`t like blue cheese you would have hated those bites lol. Also picante provolone (aged provolone) is another I would never think to put on nachos, but man it was flavorful. The dusting of parmesan reggiano pushed it over the edge. There`s no wrong cheese to make Nachos with, just some that people generally use. I was out of my ghost pepper cheddar or I would have kicked them up a few notches.

    I usually like carne asada or chicken on them, but these were good as is. For size reference, that`s a 16" pizza pan they`re on. And I`m almost embarassed to admit it, but I ate them all by myself. I did break it up into a few sessions over 2 hours, so I`m slightly less of a glutton. The calorie count for the chips alone was probably 500, I can`t even imagine the cheeses lol.

    Re: Supper I made tonight

    Ny Style crust, fermented in the fridge for 48 hours. Mozzarella+Tillamook sharp cheddar, pepperoni and instead of tomato sauce, olive oil with garlic powder and red pepper flakes. My pizza oven was a little too hot, i think 700f`ish so the bottom was a bit over charred. Didn`t stop me from eating 3/4th of it in about 10 minutes lol. (it was 12") the middle was chewy and the crust had a nice bite to it. When I pulled it out the oven I drizzled it with Mike`s Hot Honey. Everyone seems to be raving about it. It`s chili infused honey, never had it before today. But I`ll be putting it on all my pizzas for the foreseeable future. And cornbread, waffles, chicken, and whatever else I make. It would be dynamite as a glaze on bacon (writing that down now so I don`t forget) It`s towards the low end of the heat spectrum imho. But the kick from the chilis mixed with the sweetness is just awesome. It`s definitely noticeable, and add`s an interesting layer as you don`t expect to eat honey and it be spicy at all. The pepperoni`s all cupped up and were filled with pools of pork grease. I don`t mind grease, but maybe next time I`ll microwave the pepperoni`s for 15 seconds and pat them down so they`ll be a little less greasy. Pools of pork grease are delicious don`t get me wrong

    Cooked it 6 and a half minutes in my pizza oven. Best investment I`ve made in a long long time. By the 4th batch of pizzas I made they were already coming out better than the pizza places around here. I`m a decent cook, not really so much when it comes to baking though. If I can make pizzas neighbors are telling me they`d buy and are better than anything they`ve had in a long time. Yeah pizza ovens are legit for anyone to have and with the right flour you can do 60-90 second Neapolitan pizzas.

    Re: Supper I made tonight

    Good to see another pizza geek. What are you using for your pizza oven? 700 sounds awesome. My oven only gets to 550 but I still get a decent pie. My grill does 650 but my crust burns up more than I like.

    I have an Ooni Koda, I made maybe 5 or 6 pizzas in a home oven and after awhile just kinda wanted something better. Oddly enough a few days after I bought mine, every Ooni was sold out and back ordered for months. It gets to 932f, but I don`t have 00 flour, so I crank it down into the 600`s and make NY style with some high gluten. I made a few in my regular oven that were pretty good, but I never could go above 500f and didn`t have a stone to bake them on. They come out a lot better, and in my oven I had to preheat for like an hour, here 15`ish minutes and I`m good to go. I want to get a Koda 16 now so I can make bigger pies or just have more room to work with. I still love love love detailing, but food is one of my favorite things so I`m into the pizza thing too. And one day I`d love to have a huge 70x70 oven in my backyard where I could cook like 6 pizzas at the same time. I didn`t know much about making pizzas, I found pizzamaking.com which is the pizza forum equivalent of here. And this is where I learned most of what I know about detailing. I have a sourdough starter in my fridge that just matured, so my next thing will be figuring out how to make a good sourdough pizza.

    The people around me I`ve been making test pizzas for all want more, and a few even said they`d pay, so I`m going to set up a renegade pop up pizza shop outside my house a few nights a week from 4-9 and see if I can sell around 24 pizzas a night. And I`ll use whatever money I make to buy a nice polisher and all the cool detailing products so I can be like my heroes BudgetPlan1 & TheGuz.

    Re: Supper I made tonight

    Yeah bigger pies are definitely more legit looking. I just got a 17” stone for my oven. I’d love a dedicated oven outside but space is an issue for now. I’ve toyed with the idea how of hacking my oven for higher temps but I seem to get decent results at 550

    Here is a recent pie, about 6:50 cook time for a 16”:

    550`s good for a NY style. 16-18"`s perfect for a NY style. For the size you made the only thing an oven like mine would be better for is preheat time would be a lot lower. Mine`s really made for Neaopolitian style, which are a lot smaller than the one you made. I love a good NY pizza, I love a Neo too. I love Detroit and Sicilians, hell I just love pizza Well, I`m not a huge fan of Chicago, way too much sauce for me.

    Unless you have some crazy high end home oven I`m going to guess 16`s the biggest you can make in it? I wanted to do an 18" in mine last year and found out it wasn`t gonna fit I would eat half of yours in 1 sitting, nice browning spots from the cheese, and I see pools of grease in the cupped up pepperoni. That is a delicious looking pizza sir. One thing I REALLY like about my pizza oven, the legs fold up and I can carry it under 1 arm. I`d love a huge brick oven backyard one, but for the price the Ooni`s are wonderful. I did make a batch of 90 second Neapolitan`s with 00 flour and they came out nice. 60-90 seconds to bake a legit pizza still blows my mind. Of course with a temp of 932f just 10 seconds to long and you could have a completely black crust lol. 6 minute NY bakes are much more forgiving.

    If you like sweet and spicy, see if you can find this out there. It`s a nice balance of sweet and heat. We`ve been putting it on tons of stuff lately, most recently some coconut shrimp and it was awesome!

    Yeah I love all types but the crust is the star for me and Chicago just doesn’t do it for me. Keep us updated with your journey. Since I got the bigger stone the other one is going to get some use on the grill. As much as I like pizza my AC has a heck of a time fighting with a 550 degree oven!

    Re: Supper I made tonight

    Hello all, I got a new cooking toy so I thought I`d update with a few pics from my cook today. Toy`s a Masterbuilt Gravity Series 560, it`s a gravity fed charcoal smoker/grill.

    Cooked a rack of spareribs for 5 hours at 235, charcoal + 3 chunks of apple wood and 2 hickory. 3 hours uncovered, 1.5 hours wrapped, 30 minutes foil opened with sauce applied. I used Mike Lambert`s Sweet Rub `O Mine for the rub, and his Sweet Sauce `O Mine for the saucing. When I wrapped I put some butter and sprinkled some light brown sugar. I am not a BBQ`er (at all) still learning, but this is what all the pitmasters seem to do so I tried it. Absolutely outstanding, I think maybe I sprayed them a few times too many with the apple cider vinager + water mix because I was parinoid they would be dry, so the bark wasn`t exactly what I expected. But this is the 1st time I`ve made ribs on it. An with the Wifi I could check my phone and get the ambient temp at any time. Wasn`t worried about the meat temp, but I was curious how accurate the grill`s PID is. I am impressed at how it stayed +/- 5 degrees for most of the cook. I also put an Inkbird probe in so I could verify the reading from the smokers built in sensor. Both were almost exact the entire cook. The technology they have blows me away. I remember the few times I cooked on a Webber, I remember spending forever trying to maintain the temp exactly where I wanted. it was a ton of work lol. And it didn`t have digital controls so I had no idea I just had to eyeball or use a meat stick thermometer. This goes from 160 to 700f. Can hit 700 in I think 13 minutes. I plan to do some rib eyes soon and sear them at 700. Anywho, it`s cool a$$ toy for sure, and for the 1st rack of ribs I ever smoked they were damn good. So easy even a monkey could do it. NO way in hell could I have made ribs come out like this on a Webber lol. I plan to do an overnight pork butt soon. Was also impressed a 4.5lb meaty rack of ribs were only $10.50 at Aldi`s. That`s a pretty damn awesome store.

    I also did a spiral ham for Easter, couldn`t have been easier as they`re already cooked so you`re just getting it to temp. Everyone loved the smokiness.

To many it sounds gross, and it is definitely a weird creation. But I find there`s something oddly satisfying about it. It`s sweet, it`s savory and it`s something you`re only gonna find in good ole `Merica!

    It would have been much better with home made, or Krispy Kreme, or at least some smaller doughnuts. I could have cut one in half, but I decided to go full Luther here. I made small 2.5oz patties and smashed them over blazing heat so they came out with a nice crust, but were still juicy in the middle. And instead of 2 slices of Bacon per patty, I just put 2 on top - everything in moderation! lol. This is typically something you only see at county fairs and an occasional baseball stadium. Not an item I`d want very often, but I was craving a doughnut and something savory so this hit the spot.
