Championship Sunday

[Central PA Cowboy]

Anyone doing any special foods for the games today?

Going to make some pizzas in the Roccbox - a few margheritas and a dessert pie - this afternoon and maybe doing surf and turf tonight.

Nothing special. We are out of town for Ann's Birthday get away. The hotel has a good restaurant. So, we'll have something from there.

You can, it's a piece of cake!

450 g (16 oz) strong white flour 200 ml (7 fl oz) lukewarm water 50 g (2 oz) sugar 25 g (1 oz) butter, melted 2 eggs 2 tsp dried yeast 1 tsp salt Sesame seeds

Instructions

1. Put the sugar and yeast into the water, mix well and leave for 10 minutes for the yeast to activate.
2. Break one egg into a bowl. Separate the second egg into yolk and white. Add the yolk to the first egg and add 4 tbsp of water to the egg white. Beat both items separately.
3. Sift the flour into a bowl, add the salt and mix. Make a well in the centre and add the yeast/water, the melted butter and the (egg+egg yolk). Mix to a soft and slightly sticky dough.
4. Turn the dough out onto a well floured surface. Knead well for 10 minutes, sprinkling the surface with flour from time to time if the dough starts to stick. Use a KA mixer with dough hook
5. Make the dough into a ball and place in a lightly greased bowl. Cover and place in a warm place until the dough has doubled in size.
6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured suface. Knock the dough back and cut into 8 pieces. Six pieces
7. Flour your hands and shape each piece into a ball. Press the balls of dough out to about 3" (15 cm) in diameter and place on a lightly-greased baking sheet. Cover and leave in a warm place for about an hour or until the dough has puffed up.
8. Brush the tops of the buns lightly with the egg white/water mixture, sprinkle on some sesame seeds.
9. Bake at 175°C/345°F fan oven, 190°C/375°F normal oven for 12-15 minutes until brown. Place on a wire rack to cool.

Smoking a pastrami from a store bought corned beef, and of course indulging in some adult beverages. Don't really have an opinion on any of the teams left so I will just be watching my pool box scores.

Made a Pop Pop pizza last night for today's games. Used WAAAY too much cheese, pepperoni, and sausage so I gave our smoke alarms a workout as the grease dripped out of the pan. Nice little oven fire, too. No problems though. Immediately ordered a deep-dish half-sheet pan to eliminate the overflow next time. Cleaning the oven today.

Plenty of pizza left for the games. And a clean oven!
