I went ahead and made the "cheat" pizza with self-rising flour and no rise. Came out pretty well, though I'd like a crispier crust, and it doesn't quite have the full flavor of a traditional yeast-risen dough.



I'll have to play around with the cooking process -- the recipe calls for no cooking except 5 minutes under a broiler on high, which I assume is why the crust is still soft.

That looks yummy!
Actually, if you stretch the dough even thinner, you shouldn't have a problem with crisp crust.
I mean, I've never made a pizza crust with self-rising flour, but when I make a yeast dough, I preheat my oven to 500 with my pizza stone inside for 30min, then switch to broiler on high and only cook for 5 min. It's always super dee duper crisp. (And as I see that yours is on a sheet pan, and assuming you don't own a pizza stone, you could try preheating the sheet pan?)

Looks like it came out pretty well! I didn't roll mine out as much and had a much thicker style, which is probably why i was a little disappointed by the consistency: (excuse my disgusting rear end knife, I was cutting the chicken and veggies up to throw on the pizza and the ndecided to keep it out to cut the pizza when it got done, looks pretty awful!)



So this week I decided to try dry brining and spatchcocking a chicken. Best decision ever. And it turns out if you dry brine something for 3 days it's still pretty drat tasty, also my schedule/planning sometimes is pretty terrible! Forgot to snap a picture of it all together, but here's a leg!



Edit: Also not that it's any of my business at all, and the whole buffalo chicken wrap with two types of pasta, and rice, is pretty ridiculous, so is anyone actually giving a gently caress about what someone else is eating and posting about. Chillax bros, lets talk about good food and ignore what we don't want to eat.

That said, I want to eat just about everything that's been posted the past few pages, some of yall are amazing.

First was leftover thanksgiving


Then I tried leftover enchiladas.


Next I moved on to sandwiches.


For the holidays, I waffled cinnamon rolls for my family.


Then I thought about this awesome "bread cheese" and things were good (yes, this is all cheese).


And for the Super Bowl, I even waffled a buffalo chicken wing.


For every picture you see here, I've done 3 or 4 other little waffle projects. Almost everything can be waffled.

Dude, brining chicken makes awesome results! Glad it went well for you! My first brine was chicken breast a few months back and it turned out nice and juicy. I still suck at breading and getting a good crust on chicken. You did a whole chicken? drat.

Well it was appreciated even if you feel it wasn't your business. My food tastes and cooking can be a bit... weird at times since I like to randomly toss things together to see if they turn out good or not. Food should bring us together, not tear us apart. Glory to the fork.

Thanks, and no, it is actually stupidly easy. Per pie:

1 1/2 mugs self-rising flour*†
1/2 mug tepid water (the same mug)
A bit of olive oil

* self-rising flour is AP flour with baking powder and salt added already, the proportion I used was 1 cup AP flour : 1/2 tsp salt : 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
† "mugs" are a stupid, inexact measure, but the only thing that really matters is that 3:1 ratio between the flour and the water

Because of the self-rising flour you don't have to rise it so it takes no time at all. Sauce can be homemade or bought (this was made, but very simple). This was broiled for 5 minutes, which is why the cheese is brown, but the crust was very soft; I'm going to play around with the suggestions I got above to help with that. It also doesn't have as much flavor since there's no yeast or rise. On the other hand, it doesn't take a few hours of advance planning.

Freezer clearout/leftover time! Some remaining big ol' frozen shrimp, the scraps of some frozen green beans, the end of some cherry tomatoes, the last linguine in the tin, a green chilli that was threatening suicide. Add some garlic/olive oil/chilli flakes/seasoning and you actually get a fairly decent Chilli Prawn Linguine (who knew!).

As somebody who avidly lurks this forum, it seems like there's a much higher bar to posting quality content in them than the other forums. Anyone can play a video game but it takes real skill to learn how to cook something and for the average poster, it probably seems pretty elitist.

In my experience GWS is very interesting in making quality food, and is very helpful, to beginners or anyone else, if you have questions while trying to do that. They are less interested in helping you be Chef Boyardee. Personally I'm good with that. A lot of the people here are also industry or very serious hobbyists and the conversation tends to skew that way.
