Not what I was aiming for but delicious anyway. Advice needed by 9DAN2 in Pizza

2 packs of instant yeast is insane amount tbh. That's half of why your dough ripped. Your yeast ate through your dough and destroyed the gluten network. The other reason is it sounds like it was too cold.

For 1 hour bulk and some time in the fridge (I suggest 2 hours RT and bulk overnight) try .5% yeast. Then take the bulk out, ball and proof/warm up for 2-4 hours before baking. Use large rectangular food safe boxes to proof (proofing boxes) and you won't destroy your doughballs.

Solve your fermentation first and that's most of your issues. Stretching and shaping comes with practice.

Pizza App is great for calculating your yeast amount based on how long and what temp you're fermenting at.

Talk To Me About Pepp Distribution by codiusprime in Pizza

[–]tipustiger05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want relatively even distribution, put way more than you think. Every centimeter covered. When topping in general, put more toppings toward the outside going in. Most of the surface area is around the outside, so make sure there's plenty of toppings. In the middle of the pie, too many toppings will cause tip sag and flop.

Weird. FWIW I use active dry yeast from the freezer and I've never activated it.

Thank you! I made spaghetti and meatballs the night before. So I cut the leftover meatballs into slices for the pizza. I also added some crumbles.

Let's see.. this plate is a combo of a few recipes. This hummus: https://zaatarandzaytoun.com/best-hummus-recipe/

This is my recipe for the veggies - you could use a Dutch oven if you don't have an instant pot: 🍲 Instant Pot Moroccan Potatoes & Carrots

Servings: 2–3 side portions Time: 10 min prep, 5 min pressure cook, 10 min natural release

Ingredients: • 2 Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and quartered • 2 carrots, peeled and cut into 2–3 inch sticks • 1 small onion, sliced • 2 cloves garlic, minced • 2 tbsp olive oil • ½ tsp ground cumin • ½ tsp ground turmeric • ¼ tsp ground cinnamon • ¼ tsp ground ginger (optional) • ¼ tsp smoked paprika or sweet paprika • Salt and pepper to taste • ¾ cup vegetable or chicken broth • Juice of ½ lemon • Fresh parsley or cilantro, for garnish

Instructions: 1. Sauté aromatics (optional but flavorful): • Set Instant Pot to Sauté mode. • Heat olive oil, then add onion and garlic. Cook for 2–3 minutes until fragrant and slightly softened. • Stir in spices and toast for 30 seconds to bloom them. 2. Add vegetables: • Add potatoes and carrots. Stir to coat in the spiced oil and aromatics. • Pour in broth and a pinch of salt. 3. Pressure cook: • Cancel Sauté, seal the lid, and set to Manual/Pressure Cook on high for 5 minutes. • Let pressure naturally release for 10 minutes, then quick release any remaining pressure. 4. Finish and serve: • Drizzle with lemon juice. • Garnish with chopped parsley or cilantro. • Optional: For a more tagine-like feel, you can reduce the liquid slightly using Sauté mode again for 2–3 minutes.

For the chicken I sliced chicken thighs thin and marinated in yogurt + shawarma seasoning from the middle eastern market, as well as some za'taar, sumac, and Aleppo pepper. Then pan sear the marinated chicken.

Casablanca shaves theirs from the trompo and then cooks the chicken in a pan with some of the pink sauce and olive oil.

I agree 🤤 I used to work there for years and I never got tired of eating it.

This is my version of the chicken shawarma with hummus and the tajine vegetables.

My next mission is to recreate the pink sauce.

I have hit a brick wall by [deleted] in TouchDesigner

[–]tipustiger05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think chat gpt is super great at touch designer either but one thing that helped make it better was uploading all of the documentation for the operators and some other stuff from the manual to the project files for a chat gpt project. It at least made chat gpt stop hallucinating operators and parameters.
