Sourdough Empanadas

Mastering my easy recipe for sourdough pizza dough opens opportunities to make everything from baked and grilled pizza to stuffed pastries like empanadas. Learn to make Sourdough Empanadas.

When I first started baking with a sourdough starter, I was eager to bake loaves of tangy fermented bread with a cracking crust and tender crumb. Since then, baking bread has become a habit that ensures I always have a fresh homemade loaf ready to slice. Yet I probably make Sourdough Pizza Dough even more frequently because it can be transformed in so many ways. As I share this week in my Twice…

Amazing sourdough discard crackers recipe that I stole in the early pandemic from Makiko Itoh (Just Bento/Just Hungry)! These are incredible! And easy, and versatile. They also keep a surprisingly long time in the fridge, if you can refrain from eating them all.

Bring these to potlucks/picnics with red pepper hummus and/or baba ganoush. It's delicious, veggie friendly but everybody loves it, it can sit out safely, and it's snacky but also filling enough that if your friend says Thanksgiving dinner is at 3 but now it's going on 7 and the turkey’s still in the oven and everyone has been drinking since noon, you might actually save a life. Tips and variations behind the cut.

Flavorings: - Fresh rosemary and butter (the ultimate crackers of all time) - Garlic cayenne (equal parts) and olive oil. - Pizza: Add tomato sauce & parm, reduce fat & liquid. - Sesame seeds (and sesame oil? I have only used vegetable oil but it was still very good) - Everything bagel seasoning: How have I not done this yet??? - Za'atar seasoning: Same! - Nigella seeds: Trying today (by request of my mom!) - Chia seeds: Not worth it! Maybe try in combo with other seeds?

Technique: Before baking, I puncture the dough all over with a fork (which stops the crackers from puffing up) and cut it with a pizza cutter. (I always forget that the recipe says to score, not cut.) Also, I've started to roll the dough out in my pasta maker, which is quicker, and also makes them more even, which means they're harder to burn. Prettier edges too.

Liquid: I am not sure I've ever actually added any water? I don't know if my discard is unusually wet or what. But it's fine without water.

Temp./Timing: This probably does not apply if you have a real oven, but if you're cooking in batches in a small oven, be careful later on. The temperature builds up and you need to adjust the cooking time or later batches will burn.

sourdough propaganda is lying to u dont listen to them

hey. hey. do not throw away the discard of your sourdough. it is free bread. just put it in your mixing vessel of choice and add flour until that thirsty runny starter has eaten it all up (also a pinch of salt), until you got a ball of dough that is combined and smooth and doesn't stick to your hands too much when you touch it. rest it for 10 mins while you clean up a little and prep your toppings. choose some fancy eggs. maybe get some cheese. idk. whatever you have on toast usually. roll out the dough, you can use a pin or a wine bottle or the heel of your palm. u will have enough for one big disk or two thinner disks, whatever suits!

here is where the fun starts!! you can bake it. air fry it. i like to pan fry mine: go heat up your frying pan to medium-high. your choice of neutral oil, fry the dough on both sides. it will be easy to flip because its not a runny ass pancake. you now have flatbread. breakfast pizza. it will have a bit of complex flavour from the starter.

today i had mine with 3 small eggs, smothered in balsamic glaze and za'atar and sriracha. with a side of kimchi. and some english breakfast tea. tomorrow i might have it cut into strips and grilled with cheese and dipped into jammy boiled eggs. the next day i might do nutella and banana. the next day i might do maple sourcream and blueberries. life is so beautiful do NOT listen to sourdough discard propaganda!!!!!!!!!!!

Pizza romana / pizza al taglio / thin pan pizza

Sometimes you feel like a pillowy, bready pan pie, something you could slice into flavorful bread sticks. Other times, you want a large, soft pizza where the toppings shine more. This is one of those: an easy, no-knead, no-sweat base for endless pizza variations. Try topping it before baking, but also after—it's an edible board, and much more.

Neven's thin pan pizza

Servings: two 10 × 14" pans (9 × 13" will also work) Time: 10 min mix + 8-12 hour proof + 5 minute shape + 3-6 hour proof + 15 minute cook

INGREDIENTS:

300 g all-purpose flour

200 g high-gluten flour (or more APF)

10 g salt

365 g water

50 g ripe-and-ready sourdough starter (yeast variation below)

20 g olive oil

DIRECTIONS:

The night before you intend to eat the pizza, do the following:

In a very large nonreactive bowl (meaning, stainless steel, glass, or plastic, but not aluminum) add the flours and the salt, and stir together. Pour the water into the middle, then add the starter to it. Using a large spatula, stir and fold the whole mess for a bit; then add the olive oil. Stir and fold some more, until it becomes a basically coherent mass and there's not a huge pool of dry flour at the bottom of the bowl. This should only take a minute; you're not trying to knead dough, you're just making the shaggy ball a little uniform.

Cover well and rest for 30 minutes to an hour. Come back to it and, using the spatula or a flexible scraper, fold the ball on itself from each side, just to bring it together a bit more. Note that it will already look smoother and more dough-like, though it'll still be rather lumpy and homely.

Cover again and rest on the counter or in another room-temperature place (between 65ºF and 75ºF) overnight, for 8-12 hours. Hot days in humid climates will take less time, and a cold winter's night might take as long as 16 hours. What you're looking for at the end of this process is a dough that's much larger than it started, light and inflated-looking, with possible surface bubbles. (If it has collapsed into the middle, then it's been overproofed; this is unlikely to happen. If it's still a dry lump, then it never proofed at all; perhaps your yeast is too old, or your room is super cold? Sorry!)

Now grab two 10 × 14" pans (9 × 13 will also work) and grease the bottoms with a small amount of butter. Even coverage matters more than opulence, so make sure it's not a thick layer of goop. We're using butter rather than oil here because it'll stop the dough from pulling back into the center of the pan.

Flour your workbench (counter or large cutting board) liberally.

Using a flexible scraper, scrape around the edge of the bowl, then pop the dough into the middle of the workbench. Cut it in half; you can eyeball this, or measure each half to ~470 g. Place one half back in the bowl.

Working gently—without crushing the dough—first flip your dough over to flour both sides of it. Now start stretching it into a rectangle about 6 x 10" in size. No need to get it perfect; just get as close as you can while keeping the dough thickness even all around. I like to reach under the sides and pull out with my fingers. You may need to flip the whole rectangle over if any of it threatens to stick to the bench. You'll want to be able to lift the whole thing easily.

Once you have it close to 2/3 the size of the pan, transfer the dough to the middle of it. Reaching under once more, stretch the sides to the edges of the pan. Dimple any thick areas of dough from above to softly push them to the side.

Repeat with the second half of the dough.

Cover again. Give this second proof 3–6 hours, depending on your room's climate. When it's ready, the dough should be slightly puffy.

From this point on, you can perhaps dimple any super-fluffy areas, but don't stretch again.

During the last 40 minutes or so of this proofing time, preheat your oven to 515ºF. Move one of the racks to the bottom third of the oven.

Top however you'd like. For a classic cheesy-marg type of thing, I would cover with sliced, shaved, or shredded aged mozzarella, then dab with tomato sauce on top. Don't forget to season with salt, and hit with a bit of olive oil.

If you're using other toppings, remember that the sides of the pan will get hotter than the middle, so place the larger toppings around the perimeter.

Bake on the bottom-third rack of the oven for 12–15 minutes, rotating halfway. Move the whole pan to a cooling rack for 2 minutes, then slide the pizza out with a large spatula or flipper onto the rack.

Top with any post-bake toppings: basil, shaved parmesan, sauce drizzles. Cool for 5 minutes before moving to a cutting board and slicing.

YOU SAID THERE'D BE A YEAST VERSION

If you're not a Sourdough Person, this is easily made with commercial yeast as well. Please make sure to use good instant yeast and store it in the fridge/freezer to prolong its shelf life; it can be used cold.

The only change you'd make is replacing the 50 g of sourdough starter with 1/4 tsp of yeast. Add it after you've stirred the flours and the salt together, before you add the water.

This means that your dough will be 50 g lighter than the above recipe. That's not an enormous difference, but you could always make it up with another 25 g each of flour and water.

The rest of the recipe should proceed the same way, including times and temperatures.

You can also scale this recipe however you'd like—making a single pan won't be much different.

[quahogchowda-blog]

Experiment number 550,000 million is completed... 🤣🤣🤣 With most of the rise/proof "wait time" being while I was sleeping... 💤😴 What am I trying to prove? That baking sourdough bread is NOT an EXACT science. It is not that difficult and should not require all these "rules" that people want to make about baking SOURDOUGH... I have pretty much broken every single rule there is... And done exactly what works for me... in the time frame that works for me... I don't use a scale to measure my ingredients for my bread dough... I don't use a scale to weigh the measurements of ingredients that are going to go into my starter... I don't use heating pads or other contraptions or keep my house at a higher temperature so my sourdough starter or dough can stay warm or cold... I do not use filtered water. I use water straight from the tap despite the caution that it might kill the wild yeast. I don't worry about all this exactness with bulk ferment time... cold ferment time yadda yadda yadda...

Newest experiment... Can I make a decent sourdough loaf with minimal Hands-On time... With most of the wait time being while I'm sleeping... And how will it turn out if I use the "cold baked" method... Avoiding the excessive preheat times which to me is an absolute waste of our natural resources....

Came home from work yesterday and at 3:00 p.m. fed my cold straight from the fridge starter. I didn't think I was going to have enough starter for the two loaves I plan on baking today... so I added one full cup of flour and a half a cup of warm water.... (Normally I only do a half a cup of flour and a quarter cup of water but I gave it extra because I need extra starter today...)

By 8:00 p.m. the starter had at least doubled...

To a large Rubbermaid container I added:

1 full cup starter

3.5 cups white flour

1.5 cups wheat flour

1.5 cups water

Mix quickly just to get all the flour mostly incorporated... And Let shaggy dough sit with lid on for 30 minutes. After the 30 minute wait... I added another 1/4 cup water and 2 teaspoons salt... And immediately began stretch and folds every 30 minutes at 8:30 p.m. At 10:30 p.m. I moved the dough to a glass pyrex bowl with a lid. I was going to stop my stretch and folds there but thought better of it and 30 minutes later I did one more stretch and fold.

I left the bowl on the dining room table from 11 P.M. until I woke up at 5:00 a.m.

At 5 A.M. I gently plopped the dough onto the floured counter... And gently floured and formed my dough round to get a little more tension but also trying not to deflate the dough very much...

Placed that onto a piece of parchment paper... Scored the top with one slice down the center and plopped the whole thing into my cold cast iron Dutch oven. I did not have high hopes of this rising as well as it did that's why I only did one score down the center. I wish I had taken a picture but it was definitely much smaller than any of my other ready to bake forms.

As suggested I baked using the "cold bake" method for the first time.

Put oven on 450°. And placed the cold Dutch oven into the cold... But now preheating oven... immediately.

Baked at 450° for 50 minutes.

Removed the lid... And I was surprised to see that it definitely got a good oven spring... Continued baking with lid off for another 10 minutes.

Took temperature of the loaf it was 195°.

Took the loaf out of the Dutch oven and placed directly onto my pizza stone that was already in the oven.

Baked for another 10 minutes until bread reached a temperature of 205 and was more golden brown in color.

I don't know what the inside looks like but I'm not really concerned about that. It looks and smells terrific.

And it was EASY PEASY! Barely any hands on time at all... No fuss... No stress...

Experiment was a success! Total time... From starter initial feed at 3 p.m. to completed bake @ 6:40 a.m. = 16 hours... Hands on time equals approx a measly 20 minutes... 🤣

Note: Image of the starter is actually AFTER a 2nd feeding at 8 P.M. (I forgot to move the time band)... I added another full cup of flour to my remaining starter and another half a cup of water... It more than doubled by the time I got up this morning.

Pizza Sandwich

All the usual pizza toppings sandwiched between two slices of pizza crust - delicious but very messy to eat!

This is essentially a meatball sub with a twist. I got 8 decent sized sandwiches and you can absolutely cut corners with premade crust and meatballs.

Ingredients

Pizza dough (I used this NYT one here)

1 container of pizza sauce

3/4 c mozzarella

pizza toppings like green bell pepper and mushrooms (your call)

pepperonis

1 lb ground beef

1/2 lb ground pork or sausage

1/2 an onion

3 cloves garlic

1/3 c bread crumbs

1 egg

1 tsp herbs

1/4 c shredded Parmesan

splash of milk, lemon juice, or tomato paste

1 tsp salt

1 tsp pepper

Recipe

In a food processor, puree onions, garlic, egg, meats, bread crumbs, Parmesan, salt, herbs, pepper, and splash of liquid of your choice. If it is wet, add some more breadcrumbs.

Roll into small meatballs and bake at 425*F until cooked. 30-45 minutes.

Cook pizza dough into 2 small rounds. Maybe like a 10 inch diameter. If using large premade crust, cut it in half. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes at 350*F

Sauté your toppings in a skillet until softened.

Switch your oven to broil and begin to assemble your sandwich. Put sauce on one side of both doughs. Top one with the meatballs, followed by the toppings, then the mozzarella, and finally the pepperonis.

Broil the pizza until the cheese melts.

Slap on that other crust and use a serrated knife to gently saw the pizza into portions. It makes a lot.

Shitty Picture:

Way better with pizza crust than a sourdough roll! Plus, 8 extremely filling sandwiches that didn’t get soggy made prepping lunch the next couple of days easy for us. Would definitely make again.

[clatterbane]

The first step of some pizza dough using that Nerd Cider Yeast Starter is underway! This is basically a quick sponge with the starter and some of the flours. That starter hasn't gone very sour yet, but it should hopefully be a good flavor.

Being the person I am, I'm not following that recipe very closely. But, I thought I would share it because I do really like their flexible approach to ingredients--which is not far off what I ended up working out myself from experience. (I definitely do not claim to be any kind of super baker, but I've had 15+ years to figure out what seems to work.) Only, they describe and explain better.

The different categories of flours/starches commonly used in gluten free baking are a very useful thing, focusing on their main function in a recipe. That would be roughly why I do tend to balance wholegrain flours with ones that they're putting into the "binding" and "starchy" categories here. The commercial GF blends I've been getting tend to consist entirely (or almost) of binding/starch ingredients, plus usually some psyllium powder and/or gums. You could use that on its own for certain applications like cakes and cookies, but it would most likely not make a very appealing bread used alone. No matter what they show on the package. 😒

For this pizza crust, I'm using a combo of oat flour and this Laila's nearly all starch white blend in with the mix of sorghum, buckwheat, and psyllium that are already working with the yeast starter.

Haven't had anything like that in ages, so I decided to make this as a pan pizza in my trusty smallish cast iron skillet. It's also extra easy that way. The common Swedish style pizza crust is pretty good, but all I've had in a couple of years is one basic style of thin crust. Time to mix it up some!

(Though, unlike that person's wheat flour pan pizza through the link, I am planning to play it safe and prebake this some before topping it. Is that a good idea? We'll find out.)

The well-oiled other half of the dough went into an also oiled Ziploc, to save in the fridge for later. This is definitely a two individual pizza recipe, or one really big pizza. Tempting as it may be, with just me here tonight? One skillet load of thick crust pizza should be plenty plus some.

Why all the emphasis on oil, btw? A lot of GF bread doughs tend to be sticky as hell from the psyllium/gums standing in for gluten, and also softer/wetter than wheat doughs. You WILL want plenty of some type of grease on the outside of the dough itself and your hands before trying to work with the stuff.

Unless you want this kind of situation in your kitchen--except it's bread dough, your hands, and anything else it or they touch.

Anyway, that crust is now proofing in the oven. ⏰😩 Maybe the mixing pot bowl has soaked long enough now to clean it out in the meantime.

3. Homemade Pizza Night

I've come to realise that all of the activities so far have centred around food, but who can say no to homemade pizza?!

I am a bit of a snob when it comes to pizza, I prefer a thin and crispy crust with lots of toppings and minimal meat. Homemade pizzas are therefore the perfect way to enjoy a pizza that is exactly to my liking.

Again, like the last few activities, I recruited my friends for help. We slightly cheated by buying pre-made pizza dough, although I have seen some delicious dough recipes online and will link some below if anyone is up for the challenge of making it from scratch.

We made two pizzas- one margherita and one olive, prosciutto and caramelised onion. We also used a blend of shredded cheese and mozarella balls to achieve that perfect cheesy, gooey melt.

Paired with a loaf of sourdough garlic bread, the pizzas turned out absolutely delicious! They were easy, cost efficient, and a lot of fun to make.

Recreate our pizzas!

Margherita:

Tomato paste

Tomatoes sliced

Fresh basil

Shredded cheese

Fresh mozarella sliced

2. Olive & Prosciutto:

Tomato paste

Prosciutto

Green olives

Caramelised onion

Fresh rocket

Shredded cheese

Frequently Asked Questions About Bread Machines

In recent years, bread machines have become increasingly popular among home bakers. These small kitchen appliances make it easy to bake fresh, homemade bread without all the time and effort of traditional methods. But with this rise in popularity comes a rise in questions from those who are new to using bread machines. In this post, we will address some of the most frequently asked questions about bread machines to help you become a more informed and confident baker.

What exactly is a bread machine?

A bread machine, also known as a bread maker, is an electric kitchen appliance designed specifically for making bread. It typically consists of a mixing bowl, kneading paddle(s), and heating element. The user adds the ingredients into the bread pan, selects the desired settings, and the machine takes care of the mixing, kneading, rising, and baking process.

Can I use a bread machine to make other types of baked goods?

While its primary purpose is for making bread, many modern bread machines come equipped with settings for making dough or even jam. This allows you to easily make homemade pizza dough, rolls, bagels, and more. Some machines even have a gluten-free setting for those with dietary restrictions.

Is it worth investing in a bread machine?

This is a common question among those new to using bread machines. The answer really depends on your personal preferences and baking habits. If you enjoy making fresh, homemade bread but don't have the time or energy to do it by hand, then a bread machine is definitely worth the investment. It also allows you to control the ingredients and customize your bread to suit your taste.

Can I use regular flour in a bread machine?

Yes, you can use all-purpose or bread flour in a bread machine. However, it's important to note that different types of flour have different protein contents which affect how the dough rises and the texture of the final product. Bread flour typically has a higher protein content and is better for making bread in a bread machine, but all-purpose flour can also be used with good results.

Do I have to use yeast in a bread machine?

Yes, yeast is an essential ingredient in making bread. It's what causes the dough to rise and gives bread its airy texture. Most bread machines come with a recipe book that includes instructions on how to use yeast, so even if you've never used it before, the machine will guide you through the process.

How long does it take to make bread in a bread machine?

The time varies depending on the type of bread you are making, but most recipes take anywhere from 2-4 hours. Some machines also have a delay timer option, allowing you to set it up in the evening and wake up to fresh bread in the morning. It's important to note that the overall time includes rising and baking, so you don't have to actively be involved in every step.

Do I need any special ingredients for making bread in a bread machine?

No, most bread machine recipes use common pantry staples such as flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Some recipes may call for additional ingredients like milk or butter, but these can easily be substituted with dairy-free options if needed.

Can I make different sizes and types of bread in a bread machine?

Most bread machines come with multiple size options to choose from. You can typically make a 1-pound, 1.5-pound, or  2-pound loaf depending on your needs. You can also experiment with different types of bread, such as whole wheat, sourdough, or even cinnamon raisin. The possibilities are endless!

Conclusion

Using a bread machine may seem intimidating at first, but with the right information and practice, it can become a valuable tool in your kitchen. We hope this post helped answer some of your burning questions about bread machines.

How to Make a Delicious Lincoln Woodfired Pizza

A lismore woodfired pizza can be the perfect way to enjoy a meal with family or friends. It’s a simple but tasty dish that has endless flavours.

Earth Oven on Keen Street Lismore has a delicious selection of pizzas that have been cooked in their mighty wood fire oven. Each one is made with a unique local ingredient.

Ingredients

When making a lismore woodfired pizza, it’s important to use fresh dough that has been made from scratch. A good dough recipe will include the right ingredients, such as yeast, flour, and salt.

You can also find gluten-free dough for your pizza. Using this type of dough will make it easy for everyone to enjoy your pizza, and it won’t add any extra calories or carbs.

Getting the right pizza dough recipe is essential for cooking in a wood fired oven, because this kind of oven has higher temperatures than a regular oven. The higher temperatures mean that the crust needs to be a little wetter than it would be in a traditional oven.

A hydrated dough makes for a chewy handlebar of a pizza crust. This simple recipe uses water and yeast to hydrate the dough, which is then fermented for 72 hours in the fridge before being baked in a wood fire pizza oven.

Sauces

Pizza sauces are a key part of the pizza experience. They provide the base for your toppings and add flavour to the pizza crust.

For a great pizza, you need to have the right ingredients and an oven that cooks the sauce properly. You want to avoid overloading your pizza with too much sauce, cheese and toppings.

Instead, try to keep the amount of sauce and toppings simple so that your dough rises during the cooking process and doesn’t get soggy. You can also use a bare swipe of sauce for a more rustic pizza.

For a quick and easy pizza sauce, just use canned San Marzano tomatoes. This is a great option because it is simple to make and will work in your wood-fired oven or grill. You can also improvise and add additional ingredients like garlic, basil and salt to give the sauce more flavor. This is a simple recipe that will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Toppings

There are many toppings available for pizza, and they range from the classic cheese to cured meats. Seafood is also a popular choice among pizza lovers.

Meats make up the largest portion of most pizza toppings. They can be cooked, cured, smoked, or salted before being added to the pizza.

Vegetables and fruits are also common pizza toppings. They add flavor and texture to a pizza without the need for cooking.

Mushrooms rank third on the list of most popular pizza toppings in the United States, and they complement both meat and veggie pies.

Onions are another surprising topping that ranks high on the list. They have a slightly nutty flavor that works well with both meat and vegetable pies.

A good quality wood fired oven is essential for making tasty pizza. If you can’t find one in your area, you can still make a delicious pizza at home using a BBQ or oven at a push.

Breads

Bread is a big part of the pizza experience, and there are lots of different styles to try out. One of the most popular is a baguette, which features a long length and crisp crust.

Another style is a rustic loaf, with a mixture of wholewheat and all-purpose flour. It has a great flavor and texture.

A simple recipe to prepare a day ahead, it is perfect for those who enjoy the rustic sourdough look but want something a bit quicker. It can be toasted and eaten straight away, or left to cool and stored for later use.

The charring and wood smoke from a wood fired oven can add a lot of flavour to many types of bread. This includes Indian naan, and Mediterranean pitta bread.

Dough Nuts

I am not a cook. There is not the faintest tingle of an itch that needs scratching when it comes to the kitchen. Mine is a place where a kettle is boiled and only the occasional, reluctant dalliances with the gas hob, mostly as a way to curb the expense of dining out too often. However, I am supremely fortunate that many of my good friends are not just adept in the culinary department but masters and mistresses of their respective domains.

For a few years, I would be a regular at the home of Aaron and Kate, he the finest barbecuer of steak in all the land and she, a black belt in the world of sourdough. Sunday dinners chez A & K were akin to some of Australia's greatest grill houses except with an Italian grandmother's attention to serving sizes. However, since their move to Western Australia, the closest I now get to wagyu and sourdough is a pub’s own McBurger.

At Walker Street, Laura, Thalia, and Madura would often present multi plated feasts using pots and pans that carried fancy French names, herbs and spices sourced beyond the Coles and Woolworth staples, and ingredients that had to be explained to me like I was five years old. But then Thalia moved to Adelaide and Madura got a girlfriend. It's been several months since a Walker Street dine in.

Fortunately, the void has been oft filled. Not by me, obviously. I'm good for bringing a bottle of red just expensive enough to not be cheap, but nothing more. Instead, it is AJ who has assumed the crown, expert as he is in the art of the homemade pizza.

I don't know if making dough is easy or hard, or even how to do it. Both Kate and AJ make it look second nature. There's an aura watching people in their element. Latterly, watching AJ turn out his pizza base creations is not dissimilar to watching some Olympic gymnast twirl across the floor, what with all those spins, tosses, and flicks. He's just a backflip shy of tens across the board. Toppings are sourced, created, and combined beyond those that I could and would conceive of. If I was ever to shop for a pizza night, I'd be returning with frozen bases, grated cheddar, a squeezy tomato based sauce, some processed meat and, if I was feeling really fancy, maybe some rocket. After all, it's important to eat your veggies. Actually, let's be honest, if I was ever to shop for a pizza I'd be coming home with a frozen McCain.

AJ, on the other hand, is prepping for his toppings by bringing out knives and their sharpeners. At arm's length, the blade is drawn down against the tool's edge and up again ensuring both sides are equally keen. The sound of a dozen Death Star doors opening and closing is made as the swoosh, swish of metal gliding against metal occurs. Once satisfied with the honing of the steels, it's time to put them to action.

Apparently, there's a technique for slicing and dicing with a knife. As with every other time, AJ takes time out to show me the position of the fingers on the non-wielding hand, the pivoting of the knife as it moves swiftly up the object of its laceration. The lesson ends, as always, with recognition of my feigned interest, especially since the only time I might practice my knife skills are for help on opening up a box of cereal.

Garlic, prosciutto, mozzarella, capsicum, chilli, and potatoes are among the ingredients brought out for preparation. Olive oils with a particular provenance may be favoured. I'm watching, still trying to work out how the dough is made. Is it just flour and water?

Eventually, flavour combinations are created, and the pizzas are ready for their brief repose in the crematorium that has been assuming its high temperature throughout the evening. Each will see just a couple of minutes inside, enough to crisp that base up to perfection, the briefest of chars mottling the fluffy edging. Half a dozen or more pizzas will go through this process, each offering infinitely more thoughtfulness and flavour than any local options.

The chatter subsides as we fortunate recipients that have been crowding the workbench get our chops around our first slice, replaced instead by the satisfied moans on behalf of our contented gullets. Once sated, we can return to our inexpensive reds and, if like me, contemplate how flour and water can be made to taste so good.

As with ever other occasion when I am so fully fed and inspired, I return home full of an eagerness to perhaps crack open one of the handful of cook books that sit in my kitchen. I think of what it is I might one day be able to adequately bring to a table. I've always felt I should eat more fish so perhaps this should be my entree into the culinary world. I'd wow my guests with my filleting skills and they'd go home and write about my inventive marinades. Or, more likely and as has always been, the inspiration will run dry. I'll wake up the next morning, put the kettle on, get some bread out the freezer to warm before adorning it with a raspberry conserve. Coffee, and jam on toast. You know, in my own limited way, I too can make flour and water taste good.
