1hr to roast garlic
18hrs for dough to proof
2hrs for dough to 2nd proof
16 minutes in the oven at 550
5 minutes for the butter topping

active time probably 10-15 minutes

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

Using cold proofing you don't even need to make dough one day in advance you can push it out to a week in advance even if you cut back on the yeast.

I agree generally though especially with cooking levain breads, it takes a bit of forethought

how high of a temp does it get up to? The metal looks thin and doesnt seem like it would hold in the heat well

Just roasted some bone marrow for an appetizer with some crusty bread...delicious meat butter!

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.

Yeah, i like to do this too. Whole Foods charges way too much for marrow bones though.

stupid question probably better for bread thread: when i second proof, my dough just sags and gets flat. what do?

activate yeast better before?
knead before second proof?
get better yeast?

what kind of bread?

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)

Could be overproofed too if it gets flat.

During proofing, poke the bread with your finger gently. A dent that slowly refills is where you want it when you bake it.

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.

What recipe did you use?

a bowl! why didn't i think of that!

@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.
