Prezels

Pretzels, large soft chewy wonderful pretzels. I made them, and they were everything I wanted them to be. The textures, and flavors, the colors, they were perfect. From top to bottom, classic salted pretzel, cheese mozzarella  parmesan, pecorino pretzel, and bacon, cheddar, jalapeno pretzel. Each of these beautiful twists were delicious in their own right, however I must say, classic salted pretzel with a touch of whole grain mustard is my favorite. They didn't last the night.

Homemade Pizza 3.0 BBQ (flavored) Chicken Pizza

I've done it. Perfect homemade pizza. At least the crust if perfect, toppings will always depend on the season/time of day/whats in the fridge. A tad more salt than last time, but less salt then the first time [which turned into bread sticks]. This is the perfect balance of chewey, fluffy, crusty magic with gooey cheese and sweet bqq flavored chicken [Yes I refuse to call it BBQ unless it is actually BBQ'd (smoked for many hours)]. I will never eat a pizza from a major pizza chain again.

Home Made Pizza 2.0

My desire for ultimate pizza satisfaction can never be fully satiated. Pizza has become to me what hamburger was once to me. It is a curse, it is a blessing, it is an adventure. This is a thinner crust pizza than the last one I made, topped with prosciutto de parma, natural casing capa colla, and onions. (same cheeses as last time). I gave this one a more sauce than the last, and more time in the hot box resulting in more cheese browning and more crispy crust. It was delicious, though I prefer the lightness of the risen dough, I would eat this again, and again.

Yesterday when I told you I made bread sticks, I may not have been all the way honest. I mixed up some dough and twirled it into sticks, and brushed them with garlic olive oil, however, what I left out was that that dough was a pizza dough. Today I took that dough, now fully risen and developed and worked it into this lovely pizza. topped with a beautiful red sauce that I whipped up, some fresh mozzarella and a mix of Parmesan and Pecorino, Prosciutto de Parma, black olives, and onions. This pizza is the best pizza you have ever seen. I kid you not.

Garlic Bread Sticks

The most simple things are the best things in life. Bread is one of those things, so simple, so pure, and so difficult to make well. Today I made some garlic bread sticks. They are spectacular!

Homemade Chicken Nuggets

Chicken nuggets are the best. Not the ones from that one Irish sounding place, not the ones shaped like dinosaurs, but the ones made from dark meat, seasoned, breaded in Japanese Panko and pan fried. These crisp, moist, nuggets of chicken, they are delicious.
