My son’s pizza just had bacon and regular shredded mozzarella.
So I’ve been making Pan de Cristal King Arthur Recipe a lot lately. It’s so easy, and I tried to use it for pizza dough yesterday. It could have been divided better, my son’s pizza photo doesn’t do it justice, that shit tured into a crater as it cooled, and it looked amazing.
Did it cook all the way through… this was my main concern. The bread takes an hour to cook, and pizza usually only 20 mins, so, not at first, I had to cover the top so it wouldn’t burn while I cooked it an additional 15 minutes, and then even heated them slightly on the stovetop so the bottom could finish em because I was concerned about it. Definitely had a learning curve here. But they tasted phenomenal. I’ve still got tomatoes giving from my plants, and made a quick sauce. Added dehydrated chopped garlic to the bread dough.
Happy family!
Good to hear!
Most cooks seem to use PP in the direct cooking, hence my concerns above. Not unlike sous vide cooking, which seems like a great idea taste-wise, but a pretty sketchy one health-wise, in which the food will commonly absorb compounds leeched out of the plastic.
Btw, I suspect those cast-iron pans (being metal) are in fact much more efficient than pizza stones, being… stone, eheh. They can store more heat and transfer it more efficiently as I understand it.
Buen provecho. 😊
Naw I hear you with the plastics. I’m glad to know someone else cares about it.
I’ve spent the last idk, ten years or so removing plastic usage (any single use stuff) from my kitchen as much as possible. We po’ folk, yet we use fancy cloth napkins even. I’m making pulled bbq chicken today in the crockpot, I actually thought of your comment, ‘what if my crockpot has pfas or some shit leeching? It probably does!’
Lol so thank you for trying to inform.
From what I’m seeing, modern crockpots are completely safe to use (and awesome devices, like my beloved air-fryer!) when following guidelines upon their use, but there MAY be an issue with older ones from some decades back, which evidently used ceramic glazes containing lead.
I reckon a quick bit of research on whatever model you have should quickly clear that up…
