Got a great gift from my aunt in law who is 90 years old and had this Dutch Oven since she was young.
Since it was first time on a cast iron, didn't know what to expect. Not much left, so i guess it was good.

50/50 flour and 00
San marzanos chunky seasoned but not cooked
Pepperoni/cheese/ground meat/cheese/Course cut Bacon/cheese/ Tomato Sauce/Cheese.



Men, easier fed than understood!!

    Bravo! Well done! Your aunt-in-law chose wisely in giving her CI DO to you.

    Well, "spa-Peggy" is kind of like spaghetti. I'm not sure what Peggy does different, if anything. But it's the one dish she's kind of made her own.

    Sweet! Nothing better than getting some old Cast Iron. You can pass that dutch down to your grand kids, it's a great piece!

    Not to mention you have a serious range top there.

    What the hell is "clistotemblado"?

    BBQ is a celebration of culture in America. It is the closest thing we have to the wines and cheeses of Europe. 

    Drive a few hundred miles in any direction, and the experience changes dramatically.

    CRISTAL TEMPLADO is for hardened glass. I actually think its a waste since we never cover the range with it.

    When you cook pizza in CI do you preheat the CI like you would a Pizza Stone?  Did you cook the pizza with the lid on the CI for a portion of the cook?  I really want to try Deep Dish and hope not to post FAIL pics.

    Since the original recipe for the DDP is to pre-cook the dough for 10-12 min @400º. I followed the same steps for the CI, oiled the CI formed the dough and cooked for 12 min without the lid. Then you take it out and build the layers remembering to only put the tomato sauce on top. Then 24 min @400 uncovered.

    The good thing about failures on the BGE is that 99% are edible. So go ahead and do it!

    That is the deepest deep dish I have ever seen...and it looks incredible! 

    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    I would destroy that beautiful looking pie right now, but I'm pretty confident you already have!  Nice job
