Hawaiian BBQ Chicken Pizza

By -
Ok, this is a keeper. I got the recipe from cookingclassy.com, and John rated it a 9. I only got a small piece because it’s carb heavy, but it was quite good. Also, I totally forgot to sprinkle the cilantro on, EVEN THOUGH I prepped it beforehand. GRRR.

Hawaiian BBQ Chicken Pizza
Yield: 1 12-inch pizza
Ingredients
  • 1 lb pizza dough, homemade or store bought I did homemade, and used Peter Reinhart’s recipe that came from Fine Cooking a few years back. I did a double batch of dough, and got 3 pizzas out of it, FYI.
  • 12 oz boneless skinless chicken breasts We did half a chicken breast, and it was plenty
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil, divided I did this, but it was just not that impressive. Next time, I will use the herbed oil from the artisan bread
  • 3/4 cup barbecue sauce, divided We probably used a bit less
  • 4 slices bacon, cooked and chopped We used turkey bacon
  • 2 cups (8 oz) low-moisture mozzarella, shredded
  • 1 cup chopped fresh pineapple (chop into small pieces) fresh is a must
  • 1/3 of a medium red onion, sliced thin and run under cool water to remove harsh bite I didn’t run it under the water
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped or torn BOO, this would have been awesome
  • 1 cloves garlic, minced Read note above
  • Freshly ground black pepper
Directions
  • Preheat oven to 475 degrees.
  • Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Brush both sides of chicken lightly with 1 Tbsp of the olive oil and season both sides with salt and pepper. Grill until cooked through, rotating once halfway through cooking, and brushing with 3 Tbsp of the barbecue sauce during last 1 - 2 minutes of grilling. Remove from grill and set aside to cool 5 minutes.
  • Spread pizza dough out on a floured sheet of parchment paper over a pizza tray to a 12-inch round (if you prefer a crisp crust, preheat a pizza stone in oven and transfer pizza on parchment using a pizza peel to preheated stone). In a mixing bowl whisk together remaining olive oil and garlic. Brush entire surface of dough with olive oil mixture and let rest 10 minutes.
  • Cut chicken into cubes. Brush dough with remaining barbecue sauce (1/2 cup + 1 Tbsp). Top with 1/3 of the mozzarella then top with chicken, pineapple, bacon and red onion. Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella and season with freshly ground black pepper. Bake in preheated oven until crust is golden, about 11 - 13 minutes. Slice and serve warm topped with cilantro.

Sourdough, version 4, aka version Mel

By -
Image
This is my personal favorite.—it is a combination of the sourdough recipe from Nancy Beykirch with the Tartine method. It is sour but the texture is also great. Leaven: 1/2 cup sourdough starter 1/2 cup water 2/3 cups bread flour Combine ingredients and let sit 12 hours. Then, combine the leaven (mine was about 290 grams) 860 grams white flour 100 grams wheat flour 700 grams water 22 grams salt You mix this then let it sit for 40 minutes. Then, you put it in a big bowl and let it rise for 5 hours. For the first 2-3 hours, turn in every 30 minutes where you pull the dough to the opposite side, rotate the bowl by 4ths, do the same thing. Then, you put it on a floured surface. This dough is sticky, so you might need a good deal of flour. divide and shape into 2 loaves, then let sit 30 minutes. Then, kind of reshape them and put them in a pot. Let them rise for 3 hours. Then, score them. Bake at 425 for 20 minutes, then lid off the dutch oven for the final 20 minutes.

Grandma Goodsell's Whole Wheat Bread

  So, my Grandma Goodsell is the one who instilled a love of bread making in me. I owe a lot to her guidance when I was a kid. We finally tracked down her recipe after we thought it was lost all those years ago, and I made it yesterday. I give it a 9, but that’s probably a lot of nostalgia. Either way, it is a very, very solid bread recipe. I put my changes below in bold. Grandma Goodsell's Whole Wheat Bread Mix 2 ½ T yeast and 1 T sugar in 1 C water, and let set for 10 minutes. I used instant yeast, so I decreased this to 5 tsp. of yeast 3 C milk 2 C water ½ C honey ½ C shortening 2 T salt 2 T molasses 5 ½ C whole wheat flour 7 ½ C white flour I also added 2 heaping spoonfuls of wheat gluten Combine milk, honey, shortening, salt, and molasses in a saucepan and heat until shortening melts. Stir in 2 Cups cold water and combine with yeast mixture. Pour mixture into mixing bowl and add flours one cup at a time alternating between white and wheat (1 C white, 1 C wheat, 1 C white, ...

Instant Pot Spaghetti and Meatballs

Oh, how I love me a pressure cooker that cuts down on dishes and produces the exact same results. This is good because it's pasta and meatballs. I would have to really be coerced to make it any other way again because this is just SO easy. My one complaint is that it was very rich in tomato flavor because it calls for twice as much sauce as when I make it the traditional way. I think I might increase the water and use less sauce next time. Instant Pot Spaghetti and Meatballs 1 pound lean ground beef or ground turkey I just did my own meatballs already premade 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (or 2 cloves garlic, finely minced) I just did my own meatballs already premade Salt and pepper 16 ounces uncooked spaghetti noodles (see note) I think our spaghetti is almost 18 oz 1 teaspoon dried basil I used fresh 40 ounces jarred spaghetti/marinara sauce (see note) I did 2 Trader Joe's vodka sauces that are 25 oz. each 3 1/2 cups water Freshly grated Parmesan and ...
