Lol, er...around 180 I expect >< A moderate temperature? 350 or similar? Normal temp really.

I gave it about 10 minutes then checked because I had no idea how long it would take. I did spread the soft cheese right to the edge to protect the edges from burning and give it a few more minutes leeway. Things were fine at that point so it got at least 5 minutes longer, couldn't be more precise than that ><

Pistachio, if you can confidently cook a turkey, you're way ahead of me when it comes to cooking bravery!

I like flavour and spicy foods. He likes strong flavour and dislikes spicy food. I try to add enough, but then it's too spicy for him...I just can't reach a passable middle ground. I'll figure it out. //sigh

The Wandering Poet 09-30-2013 05:40 AM

Yeah that would be 350. Seeing an oven in C would be so weird o.o

Pistachio, perhaps put the spices on after he dishes up.

jellysundae 09-30-2013 05:51 AM

Same goes for me, seeing an oven in F xD

If I ever get the chance to visit south of midgeland... it will be a very interesting experience...

@Jelly: I found a delicious recipe in a Food Network magazine three years ago! Let me find it and link it.
Good Eats Roast Turkey
It's delicious! I made it two years in a row. [Last year, someone else made a turkey, no need for two. This year, we had a death in the family recently, no Thanksgiving.]

Cherry Who? 09-30-2013 07:08 AM

At first it didn't connect in my brain that you were converting to fahrenheit for me, so I was staring at 350 thinking "wtf, that's fire!" [lol]

jellysundae 09-30-2013 02:54 PM

Haha, sorry xD It doesn't help that (as far as I know) the degrees symbol does not exist on a computer keyboard. : /

The Wandering Poet 09-30-2013 07:30 PM

I just use * or put C or F on it.

BellyButton 09-30-2013 07:35 PM

Since my stomach is threatening to digest itself and I have a whole pack of tortillas in the fridge I think I'm gonna throw what I can on it and cook me one o' them thar things right now! [insane]

edit: Ok, we have light coating of tomato sauce, fresh cheddar & parmesan cheeses, sliced mushroom, couple bits of broccoli, some sliced red onion, and some jalapeno because I like hot. Ground some pepper over the top of it and threw it in there. Now, to not get distracted and burn it. [eager]

The Wandering Poet 09-30-2013 10:10 PM

Okay it's been 2 1/2 hours I hope it's not still in the oven...

Pistachio_Moustache 09-30-2013 10:12 PM

Omg, me too! D:!

BellyButton 10-01-2013 12:13 AM

[lol] Oops, forgot to come back and report my victory! Turned out nice, only took a few minutes. Nice quick alternative to pizza for the times I don't want a lot of bready stuff in me. :)

jellysundae 10-01-2013 02:26 AM

Woohoo! Do I need to patent this method? [lol] Thrilled that it's inspiring others though :D

BellyButton 10-01-2013 02:31 AM

You should! [lol] Simple, clever ideas are really inspiring to me, since I tend to just make the same boring thing over and over again if left to my own devices. Girl kid actually came to investigate and wound up making her own. She's likely to take this and run with it, since she loves to cook.

Cherry Who? 10-01-2013 04:11 AM

I've been unsuccessful in finding the kind of pastry you've been using at the store. Is it phyllo dough? But anyway, I think I'll have to try this with tortillas in the mean time. Not tonight, though, as I had an egg baked in a tomato. [drool]

The Wandering Poet 10-01-2013 07:58 AM

I'm really tempted to try it myself but we have no pizza ingredients =/
Actually pretty lacking in anything fresh at all...

jellysundae 10-01-2013 09:17 PM

Cherry, it's just flaky pastry (as opposed to shortcrust). Nothing fancy/difficult like phyllo. Of course I have no idea of what is sold in US stores, or what it's called, neither of which help at all. [sweat]

Poet needs to do some food shopping [ninja]

Make a sweet version with Nutella and/or peanut butter, and a banana or an apple sliced on top. [ninja] Sprinkle it with sliced almonds to make it pretty. Mini marshmallows too maybe.

The Wandering Poet 10-01-2013 09:18 PM

That or I need to cave and order out >.< I've wanted pizza really bad since that post...

That sweet version [drool]

jellysundae 10-01-2013 09:23 PM

You need to do some food shopping :P

Far more food can be bought for the same amount of money that you'd spend on a take out pizza, yes?

Pearl 10-01-2013 09:28 PM

the main thing i burn is money D:
and mainly on like... Neros and Pret

The Wandering Poet 10-01-2013 09:31 PM

Depends... I have the ingredients to make fresh dough... but I'm lazy =/

Cherry Who? 10-05-2013 03:31 AM

I couldn't find any puff pastry at the store, so I bought some pizza dough because it looked similar on the package. [ninja] Cut up some tomato, asparagus, red bell pepper, zucchini, and yellow squash, and put that all on there along with some olive oil and seasonings. Then I prompted to burn the damn thing. But it was good! I've still got plenty of dough, so I'll try again, being more careful with the cooking times. Thanks for the idea!

jellysundae 10-05-2013 02:32 PM

You're very welcome! :D Pizza dough's something that's easy to make if you can motivate yourself to put the effort in. I made some using a Jamie Oliver recipe from his website. Though I didn't have olive oil or 00 flour or anything fancy. Just made it with bog standard flour and vegetable oil, good enough for me! You can make the dough, knead and prove it, then at this point split it into portions and wrap them in clingfilm, then chill or freeze until you want them. So not excessively time consuming either.

Clingfilm? O.o what is clingfilm?
