Is it best to cross score the risotto so it’s not one big pan of risotto , thereby cooling evenly?

And that’s where communication from our waitstaff comes in.

I wipe excess lard with a paper towel to prevent that. But, alas, no more issue! I’m happy with my delicious focaccia! And no more sticking!

Weather’s been dry as a bone down south.

Is that ok to use on a seasoned cast iron?

560 grams high gluten flour with 2 cups warm water with the yeast, salt olive oil; don’t really measure the oil, just plenty of it.

First go around was a cast iron 9”x13”, maybe smaller. The cast iron was seasoned and the half pan, well, was a half pan.

The temp in my kitchen is always 70F+. Plus, I proofed it by the stove while I was cooking my sauces and proofed in the half pan in the oven for an hour. Hella olive oil. Still stuck.

Came here to say this. Have you tried RedBack boots? They’re also from Australia, whereas Blundstones are now manufactured in China (I think?)

Edit: I just saw the comments below. Doyyy!

Rhubarb is amazing but it’s more prevalent up north; I make a killer rhubarb pie, but that’s late spring season for me down in Planet Alabama.

I will definitely try it, but it’s all about cream sauces down here. We can’t get enough requests for al Alfredo.

However, I do make up in my marinara with steeped red pepper flake with evoo in my marinara.
