[mac5155]

I need a good oxtail stew recipe as well as a quality lengua recipe.

I'm going to assume that this is pretty good:

Not really a restaurant, but a salumeria...... in fact, it's called "Salumi". And it had a higher Zagat rating than Mario's NYC flagship Babbo. His dad was a longtime engineer with Boeing and when he retired he thought it'd be cool to open a sausage shop........

I was the judge of a chili cook-off last week, btw it was the greatest day of my life. The winner had ox-tail in his chili. It was amazing.

Whats the best way for homemade pizza dough if you dont have a stand mixer?

[tifosi77]

Elbow grease.

Whats the best way for homemade pizza dough if you dont have a stand mixer?

http://allrecipes.com/recipe/pizza-dough-i/

it might not meet tifosi's standards, but this recipe delivers. i use it all the time. throw some italian herbs in there to punch it up.

[mac5155]

second question, once dough is frozen, can it be transferred to the frig for say, 2 days? or will it rise more?

The only thing I would suggest is to use extra-virgin olive oil instead of vegetable oil.

Here's a video demonstration from Mario Batali's YouTube channel:

No stand mixer. And Mario knows from pizza; this is the recipe that I make when I do pizza.

Lots of great videos of other recipes (including oxtail ragu) on his channel.

I have a stand mixer and have never used it for pizza dough. Elbow grease ftw.

[tifosi77]

The first time I made pizza dough after we got our stand mixer was a near religious experience for me.

[shmenguin]

the benefit to the recipe i linked is that you don't have to wait for it to rise. you can go from zero to finished pizza dough in 5 minutes.

i've used other recipes in the past that i probably liked a little better, but i can't always wait 90 minutes while it gets ready. the difference in quality isn't worth it to me.

[the wicked child]

I'll have to give that a try @ some point...

[Digitalgypsy66]

I use a food processor for my pizza dough, and some hand kneading. Good stuff.

Here's my recipe:

3 cups of flour (I usually use a combo of whole wheat and white wheat, no more than 50/50)
Packet of instant yeast
2 tsp. kosher or coarse salt
2 T. Olive oil
1 to 1 1/2 cups of water

Put all the ingredients in the processor, except for the water, which you add through the feed tube. Add water slowly until dough begins to pick up off the sides of the processor, mix for only 3 minutes. Remove, and knead by hand into a smooth ball. Place in an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap or towel, and let rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours until it doubles in size. Divide, as needed (we usually get two 14" pizzas with it) and cover with a towel for 20 minutes until the dough bubbles a little bit. Form into pizza, stromboli, calzone etc. I usually dust with corn meal, but that's up to you (and your teeth ).

I have kids that like traditional pizza, so I use a tomato sauce that is easy and cheap:

1 28 oz. can of crushed tomatoes (flavored ones tend to have extra salt, so watch out)
1 clove (at least) of minced garlic
1/2 tsp (or to taste) Chipotle pepper powder.
1 T. Olive oil

Open the can, mix the ingredients, and freeze the leftover sauce.

[tifosi77]

I know it's a fairly popular method, but I'd be worried about the mixer blade cutting the gluten strands into tiny fragments and not coming together properly. Also, dough is very thick and wet and can put a ton of strain on the processor's motor... and I've already killed one food processor.

[Shyster]

I only use my stand mixer to knead pizza dough. Then again, I also use a dough recipe that includes an overnight stay in the refrigerator. I’ve also made sourdough pizza dough with an overnight refrigerator stay. Sourdough pizza crust is some tasty stuff.

I picked up one of these today:





It's a serious implement.

[mac5155]

What is a scenario when you need that over a sharp butcher knife

[tifosi77]

Cutting through larger bones, like if you're breaking down an oxtail.

[mac5155]

Oh, I just use my judo chop in those instances

[columbia]

It was only $40 and I doubt I would ever need to replace it.

[mac5155]

Unless your brute strength destroys it.
