    I recalled the crumb in your fantastic potato pizza as I made this post and our pizza tonight.  Do you make your own dough, Ann?  It looked fantastic.

    TicTac, I do.   I have the recipe on my blog.  You can find it  HERE.  The only thing I change with this recipe is the hydration.  Yesterday's pizza dough was at 76%.  And I also made two loaves of bread

    from the same batch.  Posted on the Bread Thread on Pastry and Baking Forum. 

     

  2. Handmixed a batch of dough on Friday morning and it went directly into the fridge. 

     

    Used some of the dough to make two pizzas Saturday night and the remaining became a couple of rounds.

    Nice, @Ann_T!

     

    If I may: what is a "Greek potato" topping made of ?

    Duvel,  the pizza is topped with little cubes of potatoes.  I fried them last night, but the potatoes can also be roasted in the oven.    When they come of out the fryer, I season them with fresh garlic, salt, pepper, oregano and the juice of  a lemon.

       Tomato sauce, topped with either fresh mozzarella or feta and more oregano.  This is my son's favourite pizza.

  4. I haven't made pizza in a while.  Made a batch of dough yesterday and left it in the fridge until tonight.

  5. Tried a couple of more meals in the PC.

    5a0b20809bf6d_RoastPorkSirloinPCBreakfastNovember14th2017.thumb.jpg.6bbf9c291f0fb7b683fe77e90d54c13c.jpg

     

    Today's breakfast. 

    I had a small Pork Sirloin roast that I had presalted yesterday morning.

    Was going to roast it this morning but then decided to try and "roast" it in the PC.

     

    Seasoned the roast with fresh garlic, lots of black pepper and dried herbs, sage and rosemary.

    Browned the roast in cast iron pan. Removed from the pan and then sauted an onion cut into quarters. Deglazed the pan with chicken broth and added the contents to the PC.

     

    Put the rack into the pot. Put the roast in the little steamer basket and set it on the rack.

     

    The programme for meat without bone was 40 minutes. I knew that 40 minutes would be way to long for the size of the roast so I reset it for 32 minutes. The setting was for natural release.

    Meat turned out perfect. Tender but still held together so it could be slice. It was closer to the flavour of roast pork than I expected it to be.

     

    Used the strained cooking broth to make a gravy. Started with a roux. Gravy was seasoned with a little more sage and rosemary and Dijon mustard.

     

     

    Yesterday's breakfast.

    I promised Moe my chicken pot pie and decided to make it for breakfast.

    5a09c9c8e3b68_ChickenPotPieNovember13th2017.thumb.jpg.3a27520b17ee7e2d13a10b102874edb1.jpg

     

    Shortcut - cooked the chicken breasts and the vegetables in the Breville PC to save time and an extra step or two. Made a roux using some of the chicken broth, heavy cream and seasoned the sauce with more fresh thyme. Baked it in my cast iron skillet. Topped with a commercial butter puff pastry.

     

    The setting on the PC for chicken is 20 minutes at a reduced pressure. But I was sure that would be too much so I adjusted the time to 15 minutes. Next time I will adjust a little more. I think that 10 to 12 minutes would have been long enough. I would have liked the vegetables to be slightly underdone. They would cook more in the pie while it bakes. Other than that, I was really happy with the way it turned out.

    Beef Stew tonight cooked in the Breville Pressure Cooker.

     

    The beef cooked in 18 minutes, did a quick pressure release and added the vegetables (potatoes, onions, celery, carrots and green beans and PC'd for 8 minutes. Another quick release and then topped the stew with dumplings and simmered for 15 minutes in the same pot, on the saute low setting.

    (Moe's plate. I don't do carrots)

     Very interesting. I looked up a couple of recipes and I’m tempted to give it a try as soon as I find something suitable potatoes. 

    Anna, I only use Russet potatoes.  It is my preferred potato for the gratin, mashed, fried, roasted, baked, etc.....

     I am deeply into Southwind Through The Kitchen  which is a collection of Elizabeth David‘s writings compiled by Jill Norman.  So breakfast this morning is my interpretation of peperoni alla piemontese. When your house smells this good this early on a Sunday morning...

    Anna, I can almost imagine how wonderful your house smelled.   My family would love that.

     

    I presalted Prime Rib Rib Bones last night and cooked them this morning in the Breville Pressure Cooker.

    Anyone that knows me, knows this is Moe's plate because I don't eat carrots.

    I'm working today so I'm taking mine for lunch.

  12. Last night's dinner.

    Local Coho Salmon with Julienne Vegetables served with a Pressure cooker Risotto.

     

    The risotto was

     good, BUT, I must confess, I'm a traditionalist when it comes to Risotto and actually enjoy the process of making it.

    Pinto beans cooked first.    Took about 25 minutes.  A few minutes longer because I hadn't soaked first. 

    Chicken Chile Verde took 20 minutes.

  14. I haven't baked in months.  So I have a very happy husband.  He doesn't whine much, but he does whine about eating bakery bought bread.

    Handmixed a 1000g batch of dough at 73% hydration on Saturday night and left it overnight in the fridge.
