Iron Chef WAYCT - What Are You Cooking Today

[Brodie]

@Chap Can confirm what @Nocturama has observed. We had a gas fueled Ooni for years, and recently upgraded to a big wood-fired oven. I bought it mostly because I do a lot of BBQ'ing on an offset smoker, so I have plenty of wood around, and I really enjoy working a fire. Per my research, I didn't expect there to be any smoky or wood flavor added when using the new oven, and after using it for 18 months, I can confirm that that's the case, and there is no added flavor by burning a live fire. Like I said though, I didn't buy it for that reason, so no problem at all for me.

As far as dough, I'm always messing around with different flour and hydration levels, etc...but my go-to is the Tony Gemignani recipe from his book, which is a 48 hour Poolish recipe...but I bump the hydration up to 70%. Develops good flavor, and cooks well on my ovens. But as mentioned, I'm always experimenting...trying to unlock the next level

Tony Gemignani

Thanks @Brodie will have a look for the Tony Gemignani. My recent game changer was when I switched to Caputo flour. But you are right, there is always a next level...

[Nocturama]

I’ve primarily used the Ooni recipe/app for a basic dough, and used the PizzApp+ app when trying to get a little funky…with mixed results!
I’ve been looking into @vitoiacopelli on YouTube - heard good things about his doughs (including biga and poolish).
Start with lower % hydration and work your way up!

At the risk of ranting, trying my best to start the day an hour earlier and limit Dunkin Donuts all together. Formed some bad morning habits just because of the convenience… their coffee is trash and food worse

[Giles]

With a name like this, it was impossible not to give it a go....

Yes.....

[Giles]

I love making shit loads of mango chutney when I find mangos on special....Watch out pineapples

[flannel slut]

Never heard of “cowboy candy” but nodded enthusiastically to the ingredients used. Almost reminds me of a sweet and salty dipping sauce my in laws use w under ripe mangos, called Nam Pla Waan

[goosehd]

@Tago-Mago …be careful when Giles is playing with peppers. He and Alex are some of the few people I know who really like hot

[goosehd]

…and know how to balance it to make it taste good. There’s an art to that…

[Tago Mago]

@goosehd so who's who then?
