Bo is a sweet boy too! He likes to stick closer to mom and dad, it seems. Such a good boy.

[@susanwollner6623]

I was born in Alaska. My parents adopted me when I was 1 and a half. My Dad was stationed near Fairbanks. Later we moved to Anchorage. I love watching your new journey in life. Thank you for sharing.

[@marylouise890]

Susan I just know you had a fantastic experience of growing up in Alaska. Love & Hugs 🎄☃️💖 0:03 2022 🎄🎄💖🎄🎄 0:03 ☃️

[@PatNetherlander]

Love how you explain how you cook Ariel. It’s a gift some people have explaining. You two both have it. It keeps it interesting and learns me a lot! Cooking my calzones for years now. Just about the same way. Mostly in my dutch oven by the way. That pepperoni looked very tasty!

[@heidis6474]

You should do a video on cooking on the wood stove verses the oven.. make two of whatever & cook one on the wood stove & one in the oven to see how different they turn out!

[@SkateMasterman]

Found your channel about a week ago. Decided to watch from the beginning chronologically, and this video made me so hungry that I’m using it as a tutorial RIGHT NOW. It’s about lunch time, so I’m gonna make one of these. I love y’all stuff, y’all are so charming. Please keep going, as I never wanna run out of videos to watch from y’all

[@marylouise890]

Amen to that👍😘

[@teeteepimentalrogers4386]

I went back to the beginning to see if I missed any videos. I did miss a few, so I'm watching them today. Eric, is there anything you can't do? You really amaze me with your knowledge of just about anything! Arial, I love all the things you bake and all the things you and Eric cook. It's so cool all the dishes you guys come up with together. I am so excited about the new Cabin and what you both are going to do with it. I also am looking forward to you getting a garden up and running. Anyway, much love to you both and to Bo and Bandit. Oh and the kitty! God bless. 🙏 🥰

[@jackd7411]

You inspired me to make my first calzones from scratch. Why have I not been doing this forever? Amazing. Thank you!!

[@judya.shroads8245]

It sounds like you are making popcorn on the wood stove. Love your cooking video's, plus all the rest of them.

[@dospalmascb]

You actually need something for the yeast to eat, so you definitely need the sugar or malt, the salt controls how fast the yeast works, more salt means a slower fermentation etc. I’m a qualified baker but have no experience of sour dough. We have a pizzeria in our hotel and use a traditional yeast pizza dough , really want to try a sourdough as we can charge a premium price for it. Absolutely love your cooking videos.

[@renacraft7001]

Arielle... you and Eric are doing what so many of us would love to have done with our lives... too late for me, but I love watching you two fulfill your dreams. Keep up the good work! You are very admired. God bless...

[@sallyhostetter2820]

Now I need to make my own Calzones. You both are Great teachers. 9-13-2022

[@lindacox8156]

That is a really beautiful mixing bowl!! Looks YUMMY!!!

[@wolfgirl8187]

The most natural foodies I have seen, love it!

[@HomeNGardening]

I am so glad I’m not the only one who eats raw dough. 😂 Also, that look you gave Eric was funny!

[@marylouise890]

I had to backup to post. Y’all did the zoomies on me again 😂 Ariell your pizza looked wonderful. I’m wanted to make pizza dough for many years and have been too chicken to try to do it. At 71, you have inspired me to try it before it’s too late 🤶😇🤪 0:03 🎄💖💖🎄 2022 Merry Christmas ☃️☃️☃️☃️☃️☃️☃️☃️☃️🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄

[@byron7165]

the longer the dough rests the better the gluten develops. the better the gluten is developed the smoother stronger, and more pliable the dough gets. Autolyse your flour for 15 minutes before adding rhe rest of the ingreedients will give a good jumpstart on gluten development. I only found this channel a few months ago (you just started the sawmill building) and I haven't missed a video since.

[@gretchen-f7p]

thats a beatiful wooden bowl.

[@michaeldoucetsr.8704]

Excellent job on them calzones, i know they were deeelish.

[@vmargarita]

need a new calzone video with an Illia Family style taste test to end the video! I can't unsee this video. 😉

[@pinkywilliams8063]

Love calzones....

[@thismamashouse729]

I've been watching your newer videos for several months now and it wasn't until recently that I decided to go back to the beginning to see where it all started. It also wasn't until this very video that I realized you're the real life little mermaid love story, Ariel and Eric. 😅 Can't wait to finish catching up! Keep up the good work, guys!!!! :)

[@cboy5oc]

Mmm...that crunch when she cut the calzone!

[@rudycarlson8245]

New subscriber here have been watching all your videos from the beginning

[@patriciacunningham5472]

Some how I missed this video! But I am loving it! BTW I HAVE NEVER SEEN A MORE BEAUTIFUL WOOD BOWL! And in my youth I turned many bowls on a lathe! Thank you for sharing your recipes!

[@sandrakohlstedt8583]

First time to watch you guys! You are both so sweet! I’m your Grammy from Camarillo California! Southern CA! I’ve been subscribed for a while tho, just never watched! Potato harvest hooked me! 👵🏻

[@kingrafa3938]

Looks tasty and delicious 😋

[@sanafromodessa3203]

you are just such a treat to watch, guys. thank you for sharing your journey with us.

[@kprairiesun]

Great video and tips! Thanks! Arielle is an amazing bread baker!

[@athenayannikos305]

Pro tip: At my dads restaurant we put cheese in the crust where you made your braid. Basically after you fold it in half you put the cheese in the crust area, and then fold it over to kind of seal it. Cheese tends to leak out unless you’re an expert calzone master like my dad so don’t be surprised if that happens hahaha.

[@kenshores9900]

The two of you are funny together. Good video.

[@JamesCouch777]

Love that bowl!

[@SimpleLivingAlaska]

James Couch, us too! It is wonderful for dough when cleaning up :)

[@mamabear5425]

Love your channel. I make pizza dough all the time. I have found that the wetter dough always makes a better product Also all flour is different. From bag to bag. Some can be more absorbent You really can tell by feel whether it’s a good batch or not. Same with cinnamon buns.

[@allorteresa]

I just love watching you all.. iv learned so much. .

[@AlmostHomestead]

Nice job you guys. Looked very tasty. My wife and I watched this while eating our home made pizza. The dough is a cold rize pizza dough which is so good for thin and bubbly crust. We'll have to try making calzone sometime.It's so great to see a couple of young people doing what you do.

[@friedafunk1817]

Thank you for sharing your life with us!

[@fumastertoo]

Those were some tasty looking calzones, and your dehydrated tomatoes looked amazing!

[@dobby4me]

i like dough, too! started with bisquick pancakes...

[@sylviafoust9545]

I love your videos. You make baking bread loom easy. Love the sound of the wood stove in the background!

[@jdp6644]

Try stretching the dough with the back of your hands rather than rolling it out with a pin. That way you'll keep the air in the dough and it will puff up more. Also, I'm curious if you could mimic the baking oven affect by heating up two same sized skillets on the stove and then covering one with the other. Love your videos! Glad to have stumbled upon your channel :)

[@SimpleLivingAlaska]

Joanna Purich appreciate that tip! ☺ thanks for watching.

[@mompuff6857]

You guys are awesome!! I want one 😩😩 now I’m hungry!!

[@kennethhudson8013]

Calzones look tasty!

[@bryangraham8596]

That looks Yummy... Love Your Channel... Indeed...

[@bobo102458]

Has to do with the gluten. That is why to let it relax for a bit. Love the channel. ❤️

[@bmiller22765]

I’m glad I’m not the only one to laugh at shrinkage.

[@cal3b803]

I would LOVE to see a video of you guys going more in depth in canning and share some of your recipes and the rights and wrongs!! Looks delicious!

[@GladysRWhite]

Oh boy! those calzones look delicious. Love to watch you enjoy your ingredients! yummy!

[@dorenenagy564]

That looks great. We just had a Tony's frozen pizza for a quick supper. lol You beat me by a mile.

[@dospalmascb]

Try cooking one inside the stove, in your Dutch oven or on the skillet, just like a wood fired pizza oven

[@ShansBackyardGarden]

New subscriber here and I'm loving your channel. 🙂

[@SimpleLivingAlaska]

Hobby Farm Girl, thank you! :)

[@kprairiesun]

Looks delicious!

[@colleenbrewer4453]

I love cooking on a wood stove...

[@IyaDulce]

looks absolutely delicious and easy enough to make!

[@sylviafoust9545]

That looks so good! Take care

[@THardy.]

YUM! Great video!

[@MrNas921]

looks awesome

[@charlenekociuba7396]

Looks yummy. But you said it's a quick dinner. If it takes 30 minutes after assembly to cook and flip for each calzone, it's about an hour before you can eat them together. I assume, you just eat yours when it's hot and then Ariel gets to eat hers. I like your recipes for your pesto and sauce and the combo for the centers. Certainly it is healthier to consume what you've grown yourself. Bon Apetit!

[@tonicudia1779]

You did good. But a true calzone has ricotta cheese in it. Just to let you know from this Italian girl. Lol Love watching u both

[@gpabui5256]

Wow, soooooo yuuuuuummmy 👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@DanielGonzalez-cg9ng]

Boy that calzone looks so delicious made me want to go in the kitchen and whip one up right now.

[@dawnpilgrim3570]

I love to watch y’all I’ve learned so much I wish I could live there but my husband and I are to old to be moving lol

[@Coastalmistoutdoors]

That calzone looked amazing! I might have to try that method, maybe at elk camp next year...

[@loraineleuschke4186]

Cooking & baking are different entities. Cooking is an art. Baking is a science. You are doing fine, girl. What time is dinner?

[@emilyblierpeterson3599]

Looks like an amazing panini, in my opinion, which seems better to me thant a calzone ! thanks for that recipe, I am looking for more recipes on a skillet or dutch oven, I hate the electricity consumption of my oven ;)

[@karengarner9839]

It is important not to use iodized salt with sourdough starter, just an FYI( for those who read the comments like me, lol) . Always use kosher, sea, or Himalayan when working with sourdough starter.

[@nikkilyne36]

I've been dehydrating for years and I absolutely love it.you should try banana chips.once you make your own you will never buy the store bought flavorless crap they call banana chips lol

[@nikkilyne36]

@J Carver oh god no lol I cant do spicy food even if it's got a spicy smell to it I can't do it.even taco seasoning burns my tongue sometimes and I dont use hot seasoning lol.but I've never heard of spicy banana chips.i learned something new today

[@martyfowler3072]

For a minute I thought I was able to smell the calzone cooking. Then I realized it’s supper time and time to rustle up some grub. Thanks for sharing the recipe. btw great video. Made me forget my hunger and then got pulled back into reality. lol

[@BEAdventurePartners]

Danggggg you guys have been awesome since the beginning! Now we want calzones. Just gotta see if a friend will give us a yeast starter! Thanks so much for sharing! - Erin + Brian too

[@donnaaguilar374]

Awesome

[@growfood7077]

Great chanel

[@williamkeil8414]

Great video , looks delicious

[@beeamerica5024]

I love Italian food first then Seafood all the food I see

[@d.vaders1178]

I would drill a hole and hang my rolling pin from the ceiling on a chain hook or wall nail. How about a pot hanger (when you can't build out, build up). Also, I have seen you use a Dutch oven...why not bake in that? They work well for baking as the lid contains the heat within.

[@umwwritingcenter9520]

The dough whisperer. ;-)

[@MrJp1649]

Yup...Looks delish!...I've had your calzones and pizzas and they are by far the best I've ever had. Awesome vid!

[@greenrage2484]

Beautiful Calzone. Food is always better made on the wood stove.. and of course from scratch. I use to live in Ak-And it will always be forever in my heart.. (And my sourdough liked it better there in the cold temps too. ) Fun video.. Thanks for sharing.

[@SimpleLivingAlaska]

Green Rage, thank you. I have found we have been having a hard time with sourdough loaves here, I am not sure why but we are working on troubleshooting it :)

[@grantperrins5468]

What’s this pretty good. I think it is excellent. 😂😂😂

[@lizbolick5591]

Mmmmm look good

[@emilyvelasquez9105]

Looks yummy😋😋

[@silveritea]

I wonder if you could use a baking/pizza stone on the woodstove, and then put an upside down preheated dutch oven over top to be a little oven?

[@csnanny1882]

Looks great to me. What kind of flour did you use ?

[@kathrynhelm4176]

YUM!

[@lisagrafton2529]

If you cover your pan the dough would probably rise more and have a lighter texture.

[@SupremeFamilyGarden]

Thanks for sharing, enjoy your weekend new sub here

[@yanknoz9710]

Hi, did you make your own sour dough starter? If so, I was wondering if you could share how to make sometime. Thanks. Love these videos.

[@SimpleLivingAlaska]

yankoz I am going to do a video on making a sourdough loaf this fall and I can definitely discuss that and put some info in the description 😁 for now this was the exact link I used when starting ours from scratch: www.theperfectloaf.com/7-easy-steps-making-incredible-sourdough-starter-scratch/

[@bc67]

Is someone Italian? I love the fillers you chose.

[@diggingwithdogs6850]

Do you think adding a little lemon or lime juice to the pesto after you open it would keep it from turning brown like avocados?

[@silvermonk13]

Hold up!!! Where did you get those measuring spoons??? The internet needs to know

[@lanii5267]

To mimic an oven use a dutch oven.

[@randomjournalbitsdawnboss]

Yummy

[@steveplatt1]

Yum

[@meme7591]

not to change the subject but have you ever thought of getting those solar powered lamps and then you can use them in your house?

[@OhimynameisGoaway]

I adore that wooden bowl that I see in almost every kitchen video, it's so symbolic:)) Looks like you use it for some liquid stuff too, and I guess it is holding well? Wondering what kind of bowl is that? Is it bamboo or some high quality more durable wood? Thank you. All your kitchen videos are so natural and cozy

[@SimpleLivingAlaska]

OhimynameisGoaway it is bamboo, we love it ☺

[@WRP03608]

I believe you might be mistaken, I have an acacia addiction and it looks like acacia wood. I’m on day 10 of my sourdough starter and I’m definitely making calzones, these look amazing. Also, love your new wood floors. You guys did a great job on the stairs. I enjoy your channel.

[@dawndawn6946]

Yummy!

[@cathyjones3403]

Yummy 🤤

[@callydavis3071]

You had me at "cheese" 😂🥰

[@wandagoddard9118]

Yummm

[@Simplylivinglifethebestican]

Do you put seasonings with your sun dried tomatoes when you dehydrate them?

[@SimpleLivingAlaska]

Natasha Wiegand we actually just used salt and then dipped in warm vinegar prior to storing in olive oil, I will try to do a video on it ☺

[@Simplylivinglifethebestican]

Simple Living Alaska awesome, thank you!

[@carolewarner101]

Mmmm mmmm!
