Can you make something edible incorporating Vegemite and Wasabi? Maybe a sushi roll with those two?

[@austinbumagat9466]

Lisa can you eat spicy ahi poke and extra spicy Buffalo wings

Too much salt kills the yeast. Which is possibly why the dough didn't rise initially and also the gumminess of the undercooked dough and why it took so long to bake!

[@PaLuck]

And there was no sugar in the dough that feeds yeast

[@hibam6299]

Actually they're sugars in flour that the yeast could have fed on. Sugar isn't necessary in a yeasted dough.

[@raerohan4241]

@@hibam6299 Sugar helps it go faster and is more consistent. Plus, it also helps in browning the crust

[@Chemeleon15]

@@raerohan4241 But as he said, There’s sugar in the flour, naturally. The yeast ferment the dough and they can break it down to release more sugar and improve the browning. There are breads without any sugar that can get very brown in the oven. She should have preheated the cast iron as well

[@raerohan4241]

@@Chemeleon15 Of course there are sugars in the flour, but this doesn't guarantee a browned crust. It is added to ensure it does. Bacon and parmesan are salty, but additional salt is still required when making carbonara. Same principle here, sugar is added because more people prefer the results with it than without it.

[@LadyH903]

Try baking the crust for a while before adding the toppings. Then bake it more once the toppings are on.

[@skarletcharity]

This is the answer!

[@viktor2434]

I was about to comment that! She didn't pre bake the dough!

[@zmblia]

Pizza dough with tomato sauce in oven, and after a few minutes put the toppings

[@sonamtashi7706]

It does result in a well cooked & crunchier crust but dry. That long time cooking evaporates most of the moisture & leaves it dry. Pizza is best when cooked in one short go. That way the dough is soft on the inside but crustier on the outside which is why the ideal temperature is in the high 900 degrees which can be achieved in the fire ovens.

As an Adam Ragusea fan, I practically shrieked when she poured a full tablespoon of salt and no sugar in the dough.

[@LisaNguyen]

Shoot I didn’t know it needed sugar

[@jetsniper]

@@LisaNguyen It's food for the yeast which helps the dough rise and it helps brown the crust. No big deal, now you know for next time.

[@oreo_6206]

@@LisaNguyen a spoon of sugar helps make the dough more fluffy:))don’t put too much in though bc then it’ll be too sweet

5:43 I laughed so hard at this. Reminds me of when I was younger and I was super hungry. I would always stare at the stove or oven waiting for the food to be finished lol.

[@katana7king]

From past experience I've learned that preheating the cast-iron skillet in the oven while it's coming to heat or just on the stovetop beforehand helps a ton with the crust forming

[@Nygnotyogf]

[@Expungedz]

she was emotionally attached to the pizza, this is why i am subscribed

[@Yenrei]

The almond milk was pretty much a placebo when counteracting the spice, yeah. It lacks the milk protein casein, which is what breaks down the capsaicin in the hot sauce.

[@madamedeath3780]

When u cook the pizza, dont put in a cast iron pan, just put on the racks, or if ur worried about it falling, use a tin square pan it should get u a crispier bottom.

That's for frozen pizzas not fresh ones.

You could also preheat the cast iron skillet before cooking. That will help crisp up

[@willleblond7049]

Lisa, you can pop the mozzarella in the freezer for 10-15 minutes to make it easier to shred. and, for the pizza dough, i use the proofing setting on my oven, (or set it to a very low temperature), this helps it rise A LOT.

[@GirishManjunathMusic]

Pseudocaprese salad! Rehydrate sun-dried tomatoes in balsamic vinegar + stock and cut strips. Alternate tomato-mozzarella-basil and dress with balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper

[@scipunkdollstudios4081]

[@krista8709]

Cooking pizza dough before adding toppings helps a lot. Pizza looks great!

[@justinguitarcia]

low moisture cheese will give you better results and shred for that classic pizza vibe, fresh has a lot of moisture and is better in salads or if you want the wet neopolitan pizza thing; for the dough you can make it in advance and let it chill in the fridge up to a week for better flavor

[@merrymerryquitecontrary136]

U didn’t overkill!!! It’s perfect lol

[@DW-fn2mq]

Hi Lisa! So this one is a bit of a challenge I think, but would you be down to try to make dolma? Its an Arabic dish and is pretty good if I say so myself. You can go to restaurant if you don't wanna make it instead

[@huh5950]

The reason the pizza didn't work in the oven as you expected is that you either use a pizza stone in the over or you use the cast iron skilled to cook the bottom and THEN put it in the oven to cook the top and the ingredients, hope this helps💪🏾

[@brennaduty2909]

I have been obsessed with spicy tuna fried rice something about it is amazing

[@sophiebarker3750]

The rest of the mozzarella would be great in a toasted sandwich/ panini ❤️

[@kikkaadriana6966]

For the mozzarella You can try mozzarella in carrozza ,is an italian recipe, you put a slice of mozzarella between 2 slices of bread ,then beat 2 eggs with some milk and pass it to the four mix with panko or bread crumbs , and then deep fry it.

[@fluffypurplepop4629]

I would love you to try vegemite and cheese bagels for lunch/breakfast. Recipe: THINLY spread vegemite onto lightly toasted Plain bagels. Then cover the bagels with slices of cheddar cheese. Place in oven (grill setting is best) until the cheese starts to bubble or before the bagels burn. Great creamy and savoury snack

[@apara2005]

That pizza looks AMAZING

[@lisboay8086]

can you please try a traditional british sunday roast. i think they’re kinda overrated overall but when they’re good they’re the best thing ever and i’d love to see your take on one! there’s different options with what kind of meat you want and it would be a fun challenge as there’s a couple of different skills involved such as cooking the meat to perfection, making a good gravy and yorkshire puddings that rise - and of course how crispy the roast potatoes are!

[@brysonjohnson7317]

Roll your dough out and try placing in a preheated cast iron with the oil next time if you're wanting a crisper and well cooked crust. I like it. Love your videos. Keep it up.

[@hibiscus.tea4u]

My mouth was watering the whole time

[@peoatorao8779]

Hey Lisa! When I do pizza I usually preheat the pan in the stove with some oil and it always comes out super crispy. You try it out sometime!

[@tahmenaferdous5213]

Daaamn that looked soooo spicy when u put in Da Bomb

[@torisweat17]

You can use Mozzralla for Korean corn dogs similar to what you made with the Colby cheese but the mozzarella is much better for this, melt and stringy

[@sophiaetka22]

I suggested this on the ramen challenge. But it would be super cool to see you make shrimp tempura and replace the panko with ramen dust.

[@sqwurrx]

for day 1.5 i really want to see you make pork with noodles it will be such a unique combination

[@colorsofthesoul2920]

Maybe make spicy mozzarella sticks? Like put any really spicy item and mix it with the batter so the outside is spicy when you fry it

[@thenerdybackpacker1688]

I don’t know if you still need this but for the extra mozzarella you could make a tomato mozzarella salad with a balsamic vinaigrette or a tomato mozzarella sandwich with pesto. Thank you for all your videos you always bring a smile to my face.

[@lee207ful]

Next time, preheat your cast iron skillet. I’ve never used one but I hear a lot about heating it for at least 10 mins before cooking cause it’s so thick and dense and uneven cooking is common

[@Emma.1020]

With the rest of the mozzarella you should make skewers with mozzarella, tomato, basil, balsamic dressing, and a really hot pepper of your choice.

[@Eclipzxe]

hey lisa! can u make crispy fried chicken, spring rolls of ur choice and koreon eggs idk what they are called plsss make this i LOVE YOU!!!!

[@belliograiner5337]

I make this non traditional omurice. It has leftover rice and a sauce with some mushroom dark soy sauce, alot of ketchup, garlic, soy sauce, honey, and sambal. (Chili flakes for extra spice). I make an omu rice omlet and beef gravy on top its certified bussin👌

[@carolinep2478]

With fresh mozzarella it’s best to tear and put on your pizza it melts so well and spreads. What I would suggest with the left of mozzarella is make a lasagna or a stuffed chicken breast?

[@akashM423]

for the rest of the mozzarella, try to cook some maggi and add the cheese on top (the maggi can be soupy or dry) it sounds weird but it tastes amazing with the spices!

[@DMK48906]

Mozzarella and Monterey Jack mix is my fav cheese on pizza!

[@blahblah3481]

Lisa, the fresh mozzarella and fresh tomato slices with olive oil is a great light snack!

[@averageknifeenjoyer3108]

you can cure the mozzerella which gives a really great flavour as well as making it shreddable.

[@honkermuddlefoot1363]

Protip, use the castiron skillet to shape the dough , remove it and preheat it in the oven before putting dough and toppings in .

[@myfrenz4eva]

I think the salt might have denatured the yeast and next time you make dough you can add the two separately, yeast first salt after.

[@sonamtashi7706]

You need to improve the fermentation process of the dough. Knead the dough at least 2 hours in advance & make sure the yeast is alive & working. If the dough doesn’t rise well then it’s still pretty dense & that makes it harder to cook well. A well risen soft elastic dough will cook much easier & will result in better crust.
