Monday's dough was the dough that just kept on giving. Since Wednesday I have made five pizzas and Matthew made two calzones. All five pizzas were baked in the Ooni Koda 16. Matt's calzones were baked in the conventional oven. I started with two pizzas on Wednesday. Two more yesterday morning to take to work and one tonight using the last ball of dough. I didn't really want pizza tonight, but I wanted to use up the last ball to see whether it was still good after five days. And it was. The Calzones were also baked today and stuffed with roasted broccoli, three cheeses as well as garlic and herbs. Tonight's pizza was pepperoni and olives. I was kind of on the fence as to whether I would keep the Ooni, but after this week I've decided it is a keeper. Although I must admit, I don't care if I have another pizza for a few weeks.

@mgaretz I hope you feel better soon. I know your soup would certainly make me feel better.

@Dante great looking Nachos. @Duvel, WOW!! Wish I had a shop like that in my area. Diner food tonight. Hot chicken sandwiches from the leftover chicken breast and gravy, with fries and peas.

@Dave R, I would definitely eat your pizza. Like the idea of the spinach and tomato toppings. I still had dough balls left from Monday's batch of pizza dough. Took two of the fridge at 4:00 AM and baked pizzas in the Ooni to take to work. Sausage and Mushroom. Pepperoni and Mushroom

I think I'm getting the hang of the Ooni. Started a biga on Monday morning and made the dough before bed. It went into the fridge until today. Divided the dough into a number of balls. Three at 275 to 300g, one at 450g for Matt (he will bake his in the regular oven tomorrow) and I had enough leftover for a small ball. I kept out one of the 275g balls plus the little one and baked a pepperoni and mushroom pizza for Moe and I to share and a small Pizza Margherita for Matt.

I wasn't hungry Monday night so I made Moe a Caprese Salad with grilled prawns. While I made the salad, the Prawns marinated in garlic, olive oil fresh squeezed lemon juice, salt, pepper and hot red pepper flakes. We haven't had a traditional roast chicken dinner since before the accident. Was craving mashed potatoes and gravy.

Thanks BooBear. Thanks Kim. They were good. Moe loves beans, I should cook them for him more often. Thanks @Duvel I made him pancakes again today. This time topped with mixed berries simmered in maple syrup.

@blue_dolphin, I love all of your breakfasts. One of Moe's breakfast earlier this week. I baked a bone in ham the other day and made Moe a pot of beans with the ham bone. He has had the same thing for breakfast two days in a row and isn't tired of them yet.

Started a Biga Saturday morning and it went into a batch of pizza dough Saturday night. Using the stretch and fold method. Dough was at 65% hydration. Dough went immediately into the fridge for an overnight cold fermentation. Matt took it out of the fridge at 1:00 PM today and I made pizza for dinner. Pepperoni, Mushrooms and Olives. Heated the oven to 950°F at the back of the stone. When the pizza was ready to slide in, I turned the burners down to as low as possible using the hack method. My best attempt yet.

I also made Sausage gravy, but forgot to take a picture.

This makes my mouth water. I don't have elk but I do have some ground pork in the freezer. Need to make this.

I love a beurre blanc sauce. Like the idea of changing up the flavours.

Made the dough for pizza Friday night and left it in the fridge until yesterday. Matt took it out of the fridge around noon so it would be ready to use when I got home around 5:30. Neither Moe or I were very hungry so I made just a small pizza and baked it in the Ooni. Pepperoni, Mushrooms and Olives.

Moe requested a ham and tomato omelette for breakfast. With toasted just out of the oven baguette.

Moe decided after smelling it simmering that he didn't want to wait for dinner and would have his Salisbury Steak for breakfast. Since we had mashed potatoes last night, I cut up some russet potatoes and baked him potato wedges in the oven using the air fry setting.

@Shelby, now that is a meatloaf I would eat. No ketchup in sight. Getting a head start on tonight's dinner. (unless Moe decides he wants it for breakfast) One of "Moe's Diner Specials" Salisbury steak simmering in a mushroom and onion gravy. A dish I have been making Moe for many years. Making enough to freeze for a couple of quick worknight dinners.

Roast beef dinner with our favourite sides. Mashed potatoes, peas and Yorkshire Pudding.

I had a small piece of dough left from the pizza dough batch. Just enough to make a small round. Baked it last night and slice this morning for breakfast. Lots of shine.

Pulled the dough made yesterday for pizza out of the fridge at 12:00 and left it out on the counter to warm up and rise. Wasn't ready to use until almost 4:30. Decided to bake today's pizza in the Ooni. I haven't used the Ooni oven since a couple of months before the accident. Still not that enamoured with the Ooni. But was happy with tonight's Italian Sausage and Mushroom Pizza. I love my crust.

@shain, your buns look amazing. I keep coming back to the one stuffed with cheese. Started two batches of dough yesterday morning before leaving for work. Using the Stretch Fold Autolyze method. One 1000g batch of dough with 2gs of yeast, at 70% hydration. Left out on the counter all day for a slow rise and a second 600g batch at 72% hydration also with 2gs of yeast. This one went into the fridge for a longer cold fermentation and will be used later today to make pizzas. Baked eight baguettes last night. Last one came out of the oven around 9 PM. Sliced this morning. Toast and tomatoes for breakfast.

Baguettes out of the oven just before bed last night. Toast and tomatoes for breakfast this morning.

Copied @liamsaunt, and made Moe a pasta with oven finished halibut. Didn't have cherry tomatoes, so drained a can of plum tomatoes and cut in half. Used Kalamata olives sauted in olive oil with garlic, the tomatoes, basil, red pepper flakes, salt, pepper and lemon zest. Halibut seared and then finished in hot oven.

So thanks to @rotuts, mashed potatoes won out. I vacuumed packed two dinners for two and next time we will have noodles.

Yes, beef stroganoff and also goulash, and I do like these meatballs with wide noodles too. But the gravy is wonderful with mashed potatoes.

Thanks @rotuts, mashed potatoes it will be.
