Been working on it for awhile, but I’ve found a method that produces perfect Neapolitan pizza dough and it’s super easy. The result, perfect thin pizza with a light airy crust that is delicious. Stadlermade.com is a fantastic pizza site. They have an excellent pizza dough calculator that figures the exact ingredients needed for different style pizzas and the number of pizzas you want to make. They also have great YouTube videos. For this cook, I tried the Cold Fermentation process. The dough takes 5 minutes to make with fresh yeast. Popped the dough into the fridge for 3 days, made three dough balls and let them proof at room temp for four hours, then prepare then off to the KK. Enjoy 👍 K K. The results were fantastic. Easy and incredibly good 👍

Woo hoo! I am soooo excited. I love the Netflix Chef's Table series and savour every programme. As if the BBQ series was not enough, they now have a September date for release of a six part series on pizza. Includes my new pizza hero Franco Pepe. Great start to my day here.

Maybe I have skinny fingers. Watch me get cut the next time I use them.

Just to complete the thread

yes, i'm very looking forward to the franco pepe episode. but these chef's table series... i don't really want to see any more chefs picking ingredients from their manicured organic garden over dramatic music. just give me the god damn recipe..😇

The Japanese Grill book includes a recipe in which you slash chicken thighs, apply marinade and then cook relatively quickly. I applied that principle to the whole bird and came out with good, juicy chicken in less time than normal. And you get more surface area exposed to your marinade. Yum. I used two KKs to cook the five birds but I do have the BIg Bad rotisserie cradle and wonder if I could have got more chickens in and got as good results using that. I must remember to use the cradle more often! @tony b I went searching across the forum for references to octofork and finger. I was sure I would find 20 and that they would all have your name on them. The search function can't be working that well this morning. I only found two. Like Mac, my fingers are fine.

Road trip, road trip! An activity scheduled for yesterday was cancelled so we decided not to go to the office. Instead, we decided to check out Podhale’s. First stop was Costco for some meat and three cases of wine. 🤷‍♂️ Great prices on some higher end bottles and their own Prosecco is a steal at under $8. Podhale’s is small but packed with interesting Polish/Eastern Europe products. We did some serious shopping there as well. Thanks Tyrus.

It's not the points that's the problem, but the sides of the tines - they are razor sharp and very close together, so trying to push a chicken thigh down far enough so it doesn't come off in the cook almost guarantees you'll slice yourself doing so.

Very nice @C6Bill! Last night was pizza night here. Hadn't done any in ages and got a wild hare (hair?) Upfront - storebought pizza dough and sauce (Trader Joe's). Did 3 personal sized ones - Margarita (homegrown basil), N'duja and mushrooms, and a no-sauce one with slices of fresh homegrown tomatoes, bacon and caramelized onions. Sampler plate with a very nice local beer!
