i've found there's something quite satisfying about making a bread dough the day before you're going to eat it. i've been making dough from scratch for our uuni pizza oven and it's nice to do the grunt work the evening before so all you're left with the day of cooking is to make it flat and put yummy stuff on top. i also make the tomato sauce at the same time i'm making the dough because it's always better the day after.

Makes sense, I've gotta get past my desire for immediate gratification
Yes it's thin stainless but it has a stone in the bottom. You're basically cooking with flame, not stored heat. I've never shot the temperature but they claim it hits 900*.
It takes around 2 minutes to cook a 12" pizza.
Did you knead before first rise or are you doing a no knead / long ferment? What type of container are you doing your second proof in?
You're not supposed to knead before the second proof bc it destroys a lot of the bubbles you've already created. You typically do a quick (<1min) forming step to create a tight 'gluten cloak' (ETA: https://youtu.be/hDBJkxoNpE8)
one of my favorite things in thailand was tom yum soup - delicious, complex and super filling for ~$1USD on the street. Made some tom yum gai tonight and it's so ***** good. no clue how to plate soup so here is a picture on the stove
Love Tom yum as well and took a cooking class and Thailand and learned how to make it. This reminds me I should give it a shot but the local place here makes an awesome version for like 6 bucks.
@goose, recipe is from the booklet from our cooking class in thailand. I made subs here and there to make it easier to pull together without a special shopping trip
ya now I remember why I didn't make it years ago because it requires 20 ingredients and would cost $40 to make a few bowls. How was it in your experience compared to one's you've had in restaurants?
It's really good. The key is balancing the sweet/sour/spicy then filling in the background with tons of flavor. It's pretty easy to skip about 1/4 of those ingredients all together and sub for another 1/4. I think the only non-standard ingredients that are a must are the tamarind paste & fish sauce.
