Random Yummy Ep048 | My first pizza dough
I made my first pizza dough tonight
Show notes at https://yumlum.co/2BFJJge
Ingredients
Pizza dough
1½ cups warm water
1 pinch caster sugar
2 teaspoons dried yeast
4 cups plain flour
1 teaspoon salt
¼ cup olive oil
Pizza topping
Salami
Tomato paste
Dried basil
Bocconcini
Mushrooms
Instructions
In a glass mixing bowl add the water, sugar, and yeast. The sugar is optional but provides fuel for the yeast to consume as part of the blooming fermentation.
Whisk the suspension of yeast and allow the yeast to bloom.
In another glass mixing bowl add the flour and salt and then make a well and add the olive oil.
Add the bloomed yeast to the olive oil in the flour well and mix everything with a spatula until it forms a smooth ball of dough.
Gently knead the dough into a ball.
With a brush, oil the inside of a glass mixing bowl and add the ball of dough and oil the surface of the dough.
Seal the glass mixing bowl with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm spot for 30 minutes so the dough proves. This could take a lot longer, e.g., maybe 3 hours.
Sprinkle flour on to a board and then tip out the proved dough onto the board.
Form the dough into a log with your hands and cut into three even-sized pieces.
Roll the dough flat and then top with tomato paste, and your choices of cured meats, fungi, vegetables, and cheeses.
Put into a hot oven and cook until the dough has cooked through.
Plating up bit
Remove the pizza from the oven and cut it into slices.
An Italian would use one of those fancy pizza cutters.
I use a Chinese meat cleaver.

Thoughts on the meal
I had a pretty good day. It started well and finished well. I spoilt myself with pork belly and I also had a muffin at work.
The crackling was good. It was a little too salty so next time I'll hold back a little.
The cabbage soup was pretty good and the cabbage was perfectly cooked.
Work treat
Raspberry and white 'chocolate' muffin and a coffee.

Put some beef mince and diced pork belly into a pressure cooker vessel along with a squirt of hoisin sauce and a cup of water.

Thoughts on this meal
I had a busy day at work and by the time it got to about 1630 I felt like I needed some carbs for tea so I went with noodles. It wasn't the most elaborate meal but it was quick and tasty and had a good mouthfeel.

Random Yummy Ep045 | Pressure cooker curry chicken wings and vegetables
Pressure cooker curry chicken wings and vegetables
Show notes at https://yumlum.co/2BwWAkK
There's nothing pretty about this meal, in fact, it's pretty ugly. Ugly but delicious.
This is a meal for microbiologists. I bought a packet of chicken wings two weeks ago and split them into two lots and vacuum-packed each lot. I ate the first batch a couple of days after the purchase date. Tonight's lot found its way to the back of the refrigerator and I forgot about them. While the refrigeration and vacuum packing assists in inhibiting bacterial growth, it was probably a bit too long. I didn't want to waste them so I basically sterilised them in an autoclave, also known as a pressure cooker. Rather than a 15-minute cook I went belt and braces and added an extra 5 minutes for a 20-minute cook.
Ingredients
Chicken wings
Curry powder
Drumhead cabbage
Red cabbage
Frozen peas
Frozen beans
Frozen broccoli
Instructions
Add shredded red and drumhead cabbage into the pressure cooker vessel.
Pour in the frozen vegetables.
Add sufficient water to cover the vegetables.
Stir through 2 tablespoons of hot and spicy curry powder.
Add the chicken wings and stir everything.
Put the lid on the pressure cooker and seal it.
Cook for 20 minutes.
Release the pressure.
Remove the lid and transfer the contents to a bowl.
