    Oysters, Kilpatrick, Bechamel, Brie & Chives and Burnt Butter with Sage

    Shuck fresh oysters (I use Sydney Rock Oysters out of the Nambucca River) drain excess juice and place on baking tray covered in about 12mm rock salt (salt slows down the high heat of the hearth and spreads the heat evenly around the oyster shells.
    Add your favorite toppings:

    Kilpatrick;
    fresh smoked bacon and Worchestire sauce and freshly ground pepper.

    Bechamel;
    make fresh bechamel sauce and add your own flavor eg: cheese or mustard.

    Brie;
    slices of brie and sprinkle with diced chives.

    Burnt Butter with Sage;
    make fresh sage butter and drizzle with a little lime juice.

    Cook in the WFO until juices start to bubble about 2 to 3 mins.
    Temperature: Hearth; 380c Walls; 410c cook quickly to retain freshness and NOT dry out the oysters.
    Served with small salad of greens and toasted seasoned Turkish bread with a drizzle of olive oil.

    Wine: Sparkling Chardonnay

      Gudday Doug
      Great to see somemore of your cooking its been a while, I have also tried oysters and find they cook great at the higher temps so they make a great starter before pizza

        Tony Gemignani Style Pizza Dough

        I tried the Tony Gemignani method using Allied Mills Pizza Flour I convirted the percentages from the Video to metric it came down to;
        1000 gms Flour
        617 gms Water
        12 gms Salt
        3 gms Yeast (I use ADY)
        I mixed the dough in our Kenwood mixer for 10 mins on low so as not to create to much heat, I then turned out the dough onto the work bench kneeded for a minute or two then balled it up into 270gm balls put them in separate containers (I use those cheap take away ones) and put them in the fridge.
        I made the dough 7am Tursday morning put them in the fridge until Saturday afternoon and then let them warm up for a couple of hours before use.
        Total fermentation time about 58hrs cold 2 hrs warming up.
        I was pleasantly surprised this dough worked really well for a dough that only has 61.7 % hydration. After the balls wramed up the dough was silky and smooth very easy to form into shape and cooked beautifully almost got the leoparding that you so often talk about, My temps were about 420c and I had flames up the side of the oven.
        Taste was as good as I have made using the biga method, my Wife and Daughter certainly gave it the nod of approval.

        Pizzas, the first was plain garlic (garlic and olive oil) the second classic margherita

          High Tin Off White Sandwich Loaves

          Allied Mills Superb Bakers Flour, Salt, Active Dry Yeast and Water.
          Made a poolish and main mix of 63% hydration baked at 220c in the fully equalised oven for 25mins until 90c inside temp.
          To cool I light the gas oven for just a minute or two then turn it off and place the loaves in the warm oven to slowly cool before slicing and freezing.

            Blue Berry Muffins,

            I used fresh blue berries but I put them in the freezer for a while until the were just starting to freeze this retards the cooking of the berries so they stay nice and plump.

            Baked in fully equalised oven at 220c for 28mins

              Standing Rack of Pork Roast and Morrocan Lamb Roast

              Sweet pork ribs and lamb rump with Morrocan spice rub, cooked in the WFO (without fire) at 210c for an hour and 15mins note; the oven was fully equalised.

              The crackling on the pork came out crunchy and the meat was nice and juicy.
              The Morrocan spices were very flavoursome and the meat was also juicy.

              Served with baked sweet potato and steamed greens

                Hi Doug

                I tried your strawberry and brie cheese pizza the other night and I have to say it was a huge hit. I also added a handfull of blueberries and dusted with icing sugar before cooking to get some caramelisation and then dusted again before serving.

                We served this with a 2008 Torbreck 'The Bothie', which is a non-sticky dessert wine that worked really well with the fruit.

                Absolutely superb!
                Thanks.

                I love cooking with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.

                        I let the fire die down put the rack of pork in for about 10mins then took out all the coals except one small piece about 6'' long, I left it there for a little smoke as it was still ''just'' burning.
                        Note how I put the tray off to one side as I had moved the fire off to the other side so the heat would not be so intence where I was cooking.
                        I cooked the rack uncovered with the door on (except for the first 10mins) for about 1.5hrs at about 220c
                        The potatoes went in about halfway they only needed about 40mins I spread them out on a heavy based tray and turned them a couple of times so as not to burn the bottom

                          Chistmas Lunch

                          5kg Turkey butterflied and marinated with Cuban sour orange mojo marinade.
                          Cooked the turkey on a rack 500 x 360mm but had to use 2 trays 460 x 300 as I did not have a single tray big enough.
                          Marinated the flesh side of the turkey with the mojo marinade, cooked it skin down for 45mins and then turned it to brown up the skin side, cooked it until the internal temp of the thigh was 62c.
                          I left some ashes off to one side and put a small piece of spotted gum on the ashes for a little smokey flavour

                          Potato, zucchini, capsicum, eggplant, tomato, oregano, garlic, olive oil, salt, black pepper, tomato puree and water.

                          Seved with baked French shallots and cranberry gravy with Greek feta on the vegetables

                              Doug,
                              If you have plenty try quartering then lengthwise and place them on a rack in the oven (warm only) and semi dry them. I usually sprinkle them with a little salt and sugar before placing them in the oven. Don't forget them though or they'll dry right up. They are the best semi dried tomatoes you've ever had.

                                How do you store them afterwards?
                                I made some dried capsicums and put them in olive oil but the oil looks like its separating into blobs of something..
