I want to improve my pizza making on the OONI.

Which basically means I need my wife to step-up her pizza dough game as that is her assignment. 

We recently bought a new WOLF oven with a proofing setting. Hoping that helps.


Otherwise, maybe brisket #2?

What’s your pizza dough recipe? I run a 62% hydration with high protein bread flour. Salt and yeast. This is for my buddies pizza restaurant. We static freeze pre-portioned dough balls. He then slacks in walk in cooler in a dough box.

proofs at room temp once slacked in dough box from morning prep (7:30am) until use. Could be 11am when they open, could be last pie at 10pm. No actual proof in a warmer or proof box

HER pizza dough recipe?

NFC. She just needs to step up. 

62, 63, whatever it takes.

I've been thinking about this, recently. Some thoughts that have crossed my mind:

- moar "from scratch" Thai food. Thanks, @Mattman3969.
- Persian/Iranian food
- Look at a map, pick a country I haven't cooked anything from, and learn something. 

What's on your mind for the year?

Thai has been on the back burner here for a bit because of the sodium thing and we are really missing it.  I’ve been dabbling in with some different curry flavors relying on more homemade paste and curry seasonings but not much stir fry.  

@caliking - the last soup you posted with all the spices  wrapped up gave me an idea.  I used the same spices and added some black cardamon to unsalted chicken stock to steep for a couple hrs. Threw in some sliced chicken breast, veggies  and wide rice noodle and made an out of this world chicken noodle soup.  Thanks for the inspiration!  

Onward and upward with this new way of cooking. 

I hear ya. The stir fry sauces/pastes have a ton of salt, for our taste.

Your chicken noodle soup sounds pretty damn good!

LOL Dennis.  95% of the skill in making great pizza is in the dough.  So kudos to you, Mister last 5 percent!

Here’s the beauty of this one: The Salado Brisket Chili recipe on here is very good, and very easy, and you do not need to have decent brisket to make it.   Your cooked brisket can be pretty ugly and lousy and that chili recipe will still turn out.

Chicken soup ala RRP. $36 just dropped in the store.

1/ buying second large. Funnily started the process today and waiting on a quote for a used one (from my store, sold at full warranty with a ton of must have accessories)

2/ stop trying to keep the number of people in my yard down to acceptable numbers and make brisket for a bunch of people. No more shall I not have made brisket! (that's a sentence, right )
