Sir you won't believe it, I am a big fun of your music, a (software) engineer and recently started cooking, I took a professional cooking class (no, I am not talented :P). This video just came out of nowhere and just made my day... Thank you!

[@DoctorMysterio15]

Just when I tought I couldn't love more the things you do for all of us. Thank you for also bringing this cooking section, I'm already loving it!

[@skswarthog]

Well done! Your advice on taking the time to clean up after yourself is spot on. I've worked as a professional cook, and too many people don't do this, and it usually ends up as a problem for someone else. It's not like we see on the big name cooking shows where they have a crew to prepare ingredients, and to clean up after the on-air personality. You recipe looks great, an I am looking forward to many more of your culinary efforts!

[@Byakuma_]

Awesome as always!

[@MrCreeperAG]

Small tip on the Beer pouring: angle the cup and start pouring in a way that makes it hit just bellow the ledge with as little fall distance as you dare. Slowly righten the cup as you get closer to the edge. Should prevent the majority of the foam from building

[@mikeedens4828]

I enjoyed this. I am going to try making those. Your cooking show is a winner.

[@ghostparty2062]

Not a video that I expected to see but I'm glad I did 😄 love your sense of humour

[@steamgears4109]

Once, always relie on the captain to teach ya how to make the great calzones In the galaxy that's out of this world!

[@sirrliv]

Love the new video format! Great way to make use of a very photogenic kitchen and share a bit more of your life beyond music and voice acting. Truly a multitalented man! This calzone recipe reminds me a lot of a close culinary cousin my family has been making recently: The Stromboli! Start by rolling out pizza dough into a large rectangle on an olive oil greased parchment in a baking sheet. The Captain's dough recipe will probably work well, though I've used store-bought so far, either Pillsbury or a store brand dough mix. Onto your dough rectangle, first brush on melted butter mixed with oregano and garlic powder, then add a thick layer of shredded parmesan cheese, then a layer of sliced mozzarella, then salami, pepperoni, and prosciutto (optionally with sprinklings of shredded parmesan or mozzarella between the meat layers, depending on how cheesy you like your pizza pastry). You can also add sliced mushrooms if you want some veggies to help soak up the grease. Top if off with sliced provolone (muenster might also work). Next, spread an egg wash on 3 sides, leaving one of the long sides dry. Then roll the whole thing toward the dry side like a giant meaty Yule Log/Jelly Roll. If it doesn't want to roll, just fold the long sides together as best you can; I've had this trouble sometimes when stretching the dough too thin. Once your meat and cheese log is closed up, brush some more garlic butter on top, followed by a liberal drizzle of shredded parmesan. Cut some slits diagonally across the top to help vent steam. Bake at 400 degrees for about 15-20 minutes, until the top is a rich golden brown. Once out of the oven, let it rest for about 5 minutes, then cut into slices about 3in thick. Serve with marinara dipping sauce! As mentioned, stromboli are very similar to calzones, the differences being: 1. Stromboli never include ricotta cheese 2. Stromboli must always contain meat 3. Stromboli are made as a roll rather than a pocket

[@thecogisdead]

Sounds delicious, thanks for sharing your recipe! I've considered making a stromboli or pinwheel in a future video! 😊

[@Electric_Ace]

If this is gonna be a new series im very excited to see whats next

[@michaelwintermantel9127]

Cant wait to try it!!! Glad youre following your passions! I also like how accessible it is!

[@Arthemise]

Honestly, I love this So unexpected!

[@bogibagi8847]

Okay, Im not gonna lie, I was a little sceptic at first, but gosh, this video was soo good!!! Im not a big cook, but i'll try this! I cant eat a lot of vegetables, so this is a perfect recipe! Love your content since I was 12! (I feel old at 23 now)

[@thecogisdead]

Wow, thanks for watching and listening all this time! That means a lot! I hope you enjoy the recipe if you get a chance to try it! 😊

[@michaelwintermantel9127]

Hey just wanted to say! I tried this and it's gone over extremely well!!! Been sharing it with friends!

[@thecogisdead]

I'm so glad to hear that, thanks for letting me know! Really glad you liked the recipe! 😁

[@michaelwintermantel9127]

@@thecogisdead already made it 3 times lol. Friend sent me a pic of their first ones tonight.

[@austingarcia4164]

OH MY GOD YES!!!!!!

[@draccqueen1770]

I have been practicing making pizzas for several years now, and I gotta say, I never really thought of the ides of making calzones. Might modify this a bit to be more like my standard dough recipe, but it looks delicious either way! I love italian food. My favorite food, and favorite thing to make is a big pot of spaghetti. I'd love to see your take on it.

[@helmiplayerone2670]

I hit the bell too see your new music, now I've found smth ima cook as soon as possible. The only problem is I'm not american so I don't rly know how much a cup is, but I'll figure smth out

[@thecogisdead]

I should try to convert it to grams. I'm just sharing the way I do things, but it's good to keep that in mind. :)

[@ununuh]

Looks yummy! I can’t wait! I knew you were talented but I didn’t know about this one!

[@rdgalloway]

That was awesome man..always enjoy your content!

[@HaphazardDisastard]

Looking forward to seeing what other recipes arrive! 😁

[@DoctorMysterio15]

BTW, some cog shaped cookies would be nice, but it's just an idea nwn

[@MattCaliber]

For a future episode, Pizza Gyoza from the 2012 TMNT!

[@Maevefire]

Woot!

[@pandoraslick1922]

ayyye love seein cheese curds in this! not sure if its common elsewhere, but up here we've got "tailgater pizzas" (ive mainly seen em at kwik trips), basically just a pizza with cheese curds. its so good

[@thecogisdead]

Sounds amazing!

[@captinyak12]

[@24crows]

Very excited

Just about to put ours in the oven! Wish us luck!

[@thecogisdead]

Ooh, fantastic! You'll have to let me know how it turned out. ^_^

[@christyfoster400]

@@thecogisdead they were fantastic!!! I posted some pictures on my Facebook page. My husband said they were his favorite thing I've ever made, and we've been married over 17 years!

[@thecogisdead]

@@christyfoster400Oh wow! Thanks, glad to hear that! That was my reaction the first time I made them. It was just an experiment, and when I tried them I was like, "Did I actually make these? This is the first thing I've ever cooked that I feel like could be something I'd get in a restaurant!" 😆 I'm so glad you all enjoyed them! 😁

[@AlovicGrim]

Now make a song to go along with the recipes! just kidding, unless you get the feel for doing such a thing, I'd say best not to force it :P But the Captains Calzones sounds like a great tale song. so I think that would work.

[@duncangraczyk7287]

This is the strangest music video I've ever seen🤣! but good job, keep up the good work, always. You should try making Pierogi at some point!

[@thecogisdead]

🤣

Das a lotta cheese

[@spookyhogan]

You look so good! So slender! This is the first time in a while I had a good look at you! Unlucky for me, you're already married

[@spookyhogan]

This was a weird comment, what I should've said is that you look great and I look forwards to more cooking videos!

[@thecogisdead]

@@spookyhogan No worries, I'm flattered. 😆

[@hesspet]

In your INGREDIENTS: list above, the yeast ist missing :-) Beer only will work if you wait 2 days and it is fresh homebrew (there is a little yeast left of the brewing process). Just kidding... :-)

[@thecogisdead]

Whoops! Thanks! Just fixed it.
