I try to adhere to the pick it up and eat it BS. I make a thick pure beef burger I shoot for a half pound 80/20 medium. Cheese if it is good. Maybe some onions, Raw, Thin sliced, fried or grilled I don't care. Pickle on the side. Always got to have a Pickle. Warsaw Falcons for me. Nah who am I kidding. I chop that bitch up and pile it on. My local Bakery makes a kick ass Chiabata or a Thomas' Large English Muffin grilled. My friend Amy makes a Italian Sausage burger 1/2 80/20 1/2 Hot Italian sausage. She adds Hot Jalapeno Pepper cheese and French fried onions served on a Big Soft Roll. I usually eat 2 along with her Baked Beans. Her Baked Beans are the best. She also makes a awesome Hot Pepper Jam.

Sam's sourdough waffles for the weekly parenting win re: heat and eat before "school" -- if there is such a thing post-CV

I usually do waffles one day and sourdough bread a day or two later...

Too bad I can't buy flour anytime soon.

In the cleavage of the Tetons
Made a few Pizzas tonight, this is the first one. used Alton Brown's dough recipe, worked a peach. I am having a problem with using the stone at 550 (highest my oven will go) with the toppings being done before the crust. Not sure of the fix...



Hot sausage, Jalapenos, and garlic.

Perhaps the stone isn't up to temp. It will lag the thermometer on the oven a lot.

I preheat for 50 minutes. Stone is definitely 550, unless the temp is off in the oven. But it sure feels as hot as ever.

You want not just the surface of the stone but the core to be hot too, just try it a little longer. If that doesn't help perhaps heat the stone at 550 but then lower the oven temp a bit and let the top cook at a lower temp than the crust.

*Not a chef, I just like thermodynamics.

What happened when you were adding the jalapenos, slip on some pizza sauce?

This may be obvious but maybe move the stone and pizza to a lower rack in the oven, so the bottom is closer to the heat source. You could also cover the top loosely with foil for part of the cook time.

On bottom shelf.

full disclosure: through college I was a piaziolo...I probably made a few thousand pies (but with a 700 degree blodgett oven).
I think I will preheat for an hour and a half.

This. I have an el cheapo stone that is permanently camped at the bottom rack. I bake pizza at 475F (550 is IMHO a lot for a regular kitchen range), on a baking paper, 12 minutes. I do not even bother doing long preheat, by the time the oven reaches 475F the stone is at the same temperature.
