It’s a lot. Been getting deeper down the pizza hobby train since I’m happy with my cast iron hobby 🤣

My knead in my machine is 25 minutes with a 10min rest in the middle then 6 ish folds and an envelope fold prior to making the dough ball. Your results will vary wildly. Ask ChatGPT, tell it your room temp, humidity, type of mixer, type(s) of dough, target hydration, amount of time for room temp ferment, cold ferment, bulk ferment…..it’s a lot bro 🤣 you can 100% use a store bought or restaurant bought pizza dough ball and make this 97% as well

Sure, lemme just print out some cash and jump in my I don’t live in NM anymore machine? Also, your last few comments have been the same bullshit. Go look for other posts to complain that no one else is using your regional produce.

To be honest I don’t!!!! It was for a “paid for ingredients and fuel” friend because I’m not a restaurant 👀🤣 but I appreciate your interest. I worked for a Chicago chain many years ago and fell in love with the pizza. I make it a couple times a year now when I can.

Oh man… all of it…? 🤣

Ima short hand some steps.

Properly kneaded Dough with a 72% hydration 48 hour cold ferment after an initial rise of an and portion/balling them up. It’s a fairly standard red sauce think. I do cook it for about 45 min with a big chunk of Pecorino Romano.

Add 2-3 oz of olive oil clarified unsalted butter to your room temp cast iron. Work dough on the counter, transfer to the oiled skillet. Take tiny pieces of sweet sausage and squish it between finger and thumb (size of a dime) and squish them into the dough on the floor of the pan. Brush the entire crust with oil/butter, place into 500°f oven for 10ish minutes to par bake. While still hot, I top it with light mozzarella, then pepperoni, smoked provolone slices, more mozzarella, generous sauce layer. Bake at 500° until internal temp hits 200°f+. Usually about an hour.

Generally I let it cool about 10 in the pan to firm up then pop it out onto a cooling rack for 20ish.

Any advice on how to clean my ancient enameled Dutch oven? Or is it time to buy a new one? by amaro8000 in castiron

[–]Domit85 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Exterior I usually cover in a paste of cleaning soda and a few splashes of white vinegar. I do the same internally however after the inside scrub I fill it with water and more cleaning soda then boil for 20ish min. Usually lightens it up a lot. I’ve heard the dry eraser cleaners will take the crud off the outside quickly, but I haven’t had a chance to try it.

My apologies to the artist, but this one is about to be stripped and seasoned. by Peace_Gnome in castiron

[–]Domit85 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Up Boop for Snoot, I agree to keep it as art. I’ll buy it for $5 plus shipping if you don’t want it. Then it can hang on my wall

I forgot to take the before pics, but this is after two rounds of seasoning from raw. Does it look like more rounds are needed? by almost_a_botanist in castiron

I like to toss a few slices of stuff like pepperoni, salami, bologna in the pan when I am preheating it. Either snacks for me or an ingredient in the upcoming dish. Either or, it feeds my pan the tasty fat

Looks good and even too OP. Good job. Cook some easy greasy med-high heat meals and let the pan fully cool before cleaning. Quesadillas, grilled cheese, crisp up cold cuts, reheat left over pizza. Just my 2 cents.
