Jonathon
Here you go Jonathon. I lit the re-power off on Sunday and took her out on the maiden voyage yesterday. Been 20 years since it has seen the road. -
Jonathon When I moved to NC from PA I opened a pizzeria and had a the same issue attempting to make a decent pizza dough… The problem is the difference in atmospherics between various areas of the country… This includes everything from relative humidity to elevation…
I wish I could take credit for figuring out the answer to the problem, but it was actually a buddy that was a professional baker that also had moved from the NYC/Philly metro area.
His solution consisted of modifying the dough recipe, changing the oil/water ratio, as well as tweaking the yeast content…
While I do some baking, I am not sufficiently versed in the chemistry to be able to suggest specific modification ratios… besides, you are going to have to find a solution based on your local atmospheric conditions…

Tex_77 I don’t have any secrets, The baking problems you have require a solution based on your local environment… My suggestion would be to do as I did, find a professional baker in your area that has figured out the recipe modifications necessary for your locale… Probably more difficult will be finding a baker that is willing to share his/her techniques…

raider2119 Where I’m at it would be finding a baker. I’m in Western Kansas so it is a very dry climate.

raider2119 My only advice for pizza/bread dough is practice, practice, practice. It’s hard to describe but it’s an ‘a-ha’ moment when the dough and kneading just feels right. I dabbled in baked goods for years before that moment struck me.

raider2119 Yeah, I wouldn’t tell my neighbor let alone a customer how to make the perfect dough! Just kidding…or am I?

Yep. Buck a box at the store the other day. Couldn’t resist. Surprisingly very good. Nearly finished the pan.Departing Contestant
I’m sure if I started digging through boxes I’d find some. Standard drinkware as a kid at grandparents farm. -

Standard drinkware as a kid at grandparents farm.PapaSop mom would buy EXACTLY the amount needed at the gas station to get a free glass, collect her glass and go back the next day. we took boxes of them to the DAV when we cleaned out her house - but they did provide good memories. I broke my last jelly jar glass last week…

Joe Hell I will post something with the sourdough you sent me once I get better at using it. First 2 experiments were good but certainly not anything worth showing anyone. My wife (who is a chemist) is a truly top-notch baker so she volunteered to do some work with me this weekend.

Jonathon Maybe Walton’s needs to take a trip to K-State and the Bakery Science department!

Really not looking for a meal but… With highs in the 40’s just had to grill. A couple of bone in chops for the work week ahead. Fired up the Weber kettle. Indirect for an hour total .
Some cherry chips for a bit of smoke. Simple seasoning.
Salt, pepper and Excalibur Rosemary, Basil and Thyme.
Had to try one so now have one for the work week.
Awesome. -

Jonathon We were lucky if we hit 60 today but it was gorgeous outside. I started prepping this morning by 6 for the trial run of my new offset. I made some ribs which I quickly devoured and have this butt still on the grill. Based on current temp I might have a few more hours to go. It’s been a long day! I’m impressed with how even the temp has been and how easy it’s been to maintain. As you can see I don’t trust using just one probe. I’ve had bad luck lately with thermometers.
