@HalfSmoke Some things got in the way so my cook is tomorrow and I will be using KA all purpose flour! I have a 14 inch baking steel along with a 14 baking stone much to big for my Akorn so this cook will be inside or on the Weber kettle. Garvin

They were having fun, wished I was there! Garvin

Jeff, doing mine in the Jr at 550 degrees what temp are you cooking at? Garvin

Will do, thank you! Garvin

Have been feeding with a 100% hydration 1 cup flour to 1/2 cup water, should I cut that or leave it for the recipe I listed? Garvin

Good looking pies and most people here use their upper rack along with the stone to get overall better pizza! Garvin

Ok so off today and I wanted to try these pancakes and do they live up to expectations so good and easy recipe. Used milk, made own self-rising flour but other wise followed his example you ladies and germ's need to make for family or yourselves and the recipe gave me 7 nice size pancakes. Garvin

S’MORES CHEESECAKE POPS Servings: 16 INGREDIENTS 10 graham crackers ½ cup butter, melted 16 ounces cream cheese, softened ½ cup powdered sugar 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 3 cups mini marshmallows 4 ounces white chocolate, melted 16 ounces dark or milk chocolate, melted 2 teaspoons coconut oil (optional) 16 cake pop sticks or lollipop sticks. PREPARATION In a freezer bag or food processor, crush the graham crackers to a sand-like consistency. Transfer to an 8x8 baking dish lined with parchment paper and firmly pack it down to form the “crust.” Freeze until the cheesecake mixture is ready. While the crust is freezing, combine the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract, and mix until smooth. Spread the marshmallows out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Broil the marshmallows for about 1-2 minutes, watching closely to make sure they don’t burn. You want them to brown up a little though to achieve a “toasted” flavor. Carefully scrape the marshmallows from the sheet into the cheesecake mixture. Mix thoroughly. Transfer the toasted marshmallow cheesecake mixture into the baking dish on top of the crust and smooth until even. Freeze at least one to two hours until the mixture is firm enough to cut. Remove the set cheesecake from the dish and cut into even square shapes, depending on how big you want your pops. Dip each stick in melted white chocolate and place into each cut square, this will help secure the sticks into the cheescake. Freeze until solid, about one hour. Microwave the chocolate in 15 to 30 second increments to melt, stirring thoroughly each time. Add coconut oil if the chocolate seems too thick for dipping. Dip the set pops into the chocolate and stand upright to set (a cardboard box or piece of styrofoam works best if you don’t have a stand). Decorate with the remaining white chocolate and crushed graham crackers. Enjoy! Garvin
