Welcome to Episode 52

SPEAKER_01

And we're back for episode number 52. Hello. Today we're going to be talking a little bit about some beer cheese pizza we just made. The reason you probably should proof uh your yeast before you start making any pizza dough or bread, ain't that right?

SPEAKER_00

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_01

Because I'll tell you the blunders I had with that. And uh what else we got going on today? Dolores made some keto steak that she used the beer cheese sauce. Now, is that beer cheese a sauce I made keto?

SPEAKER_02

Well, yeah, it has carbs in it, but it's not like you know, a bunch of carbs.

SPEAKER_01

Just smothering a little bit wasn't too much. So I mean, what was it?

SPEAKER_02

It's just beer, heavy whipping cream.

SPEAKER_01

Right.

SPEAKER_02

Um the beer. Well, I don't know about the beer part.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, it well, it I mean, you cook the beer out.

SPEAKER_02

I don't know the carbon.

SPEAKER_01

But I don't know if you cook the carbs out.

SPEAKER_02

So you that's interesting because I mean I didn't get anything. So yeah, so I mean I didn't have like a whole lot of it.

SPEAKER_01

Right. So we're gonna talk about that, check into some comments from some of the videos. See there, got her thinking on the fly. We'll be talking a bit about that here shortly.

Beer Cheese Pizza Breakdown

SPEAKER_00

It probably wasn't either fire up that grill from smoke door to smoke better. Outdoor cooking good. This is the open smoking podcast. And here's your host, Doctor Barry.

SPEAKER_01

So, welcome in, uh back into episode number 52, where it has been a pretty good week here, right here in our Oklahoma backyard. Uh done some pretty good uh cooks. Uh we're gonna talk about let's go ahead and start out with that beer cheese pizza. Now, this is the second time I made it. And Dolores, did you try the pack the one in the past?

SPEAKER_02

No, I did not because I was still on keto. But she but the kids, the kids loved it. I said it was good. But this time I this time I did try the beer cheese. But uh, you know, kind of think about it, it couldn't have been low carb because you put like beer in it, but uh you say I only put a fourth.

SPEAKER_01

Well, I did I didn't measure and I say a fourth, but a fourth of beer to me is probably closer to half.

SPEAKER_02

Really? You know my my thing is like I didn't get anything, so that was that's okay.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, but the the the beer though is a miniature for for what you use. I mean, it's not like you're you know, we've also got we put a half a cup, or no, we put a full cup of mozzarella cheese.

SPEAKER_02

We probably put like two tablespoons on my my stake.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, it's not gonna equate to anything once you think about it in that way. So there wasn't hardly any carbs in that.

SPEAKER_02

It was really good though. I must say, uh, maybe next time I'll do some low low carb beer in there.

SPEAKER_01

I just don't know. I mean, because low carb beer don't have any danger.

SPEAKER_02

Don't be weird, don't be weed. I mean, you're gonna have a flat beer cheesecake. My corona for years. You don't have to eat it. I will.

SPEAKER_01

I was thinking next time we throw a good IPA in there.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. So no, thank you, sir.

SPEAKER_01

Well, use Miller High Life, which is uh, you know, of course, the champagne of beers. It's it's a it's a pretty good uh inexpensive beer too.

SPEAKER_02

It doesn't taste like beer. No, and you know, but I think if you put the IP in there, uh I think it would taste like it.

SPEAKER_01

Or a good dark beer.

SPEAKER_02

No, ew.

SPEAKER_01

You know, looks like coffee, looks like engine oil. Put that in there. I think I'll make my own my own beer cheese.

SPEAKER_02

You definitely will have to make it by yourself because yeah, I'll make my own version and make yours.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

But I didn't get to taste the pizza, but dang it, it looked good.

SPEAKER_01

But no, that sounds pretty cool. We could do that, and we we could do a video of a low try to make a low-carb beer cheese pizza and see how it compares. I don't know about pizza because beer cheese.

SPEAKER_02

You haven't like done the the crushed the keto part.

SPEAKER_01

Because uh our kids, or Ryan, he was eating it with some chips while we were making the pizza, and they seemed to he seemed to like it. I never did try to dip to dip it in.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, and we had like a little bit left in the in the the pan, and it used away by accident. You thought it was empty, and they were gonna use it on the cacilla.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, they made they made some cacillas.

SPEAKER_02

They made chicken cacillas and you do it on.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I mean there was a bit on the side, I guess they were gonna scrape off of it. So I I messed them up there because I mean we were trying it's kind of like a dog licking the bowl at that point, but we went in with it. I don't know, man. It was that good, folks. So everybody really enjoyed the beer, cheese, pizza. I mean, seriously, just started out with a couple of tablespoons of butter, a couple of tablespoons of flour, some milk or heavy cream, throw the beer in, a little seasoning cheese. That's it.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, but did you know that they liked my version instead of your version?

SPEAKER_01

So let's talk the pizzas. We've talked the beer cheese, which is awesome. And and I think we do need to try a low-carb version.

SPEAKER_02

Heck yeah, I'm down for that.

SPEAKER_01

And we we like, I even like this. So there used to be a restaurant around town and and they don't do it anymore, but they used to have their own pork skins that you would dip. Remember that? They're homemade pork skins. Oh, they were so good. They they discontinued them. Hopefully they bring them back.

SPEAKER_02

They were nice and warm and warm pork skins.

SPEAKER_01

If if you get some good pork skins, it would be good to dip in that. It's pork skin has uh what is it, zero carb?

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. Well, it depends on what pork skins.

Low-Carb Alternatives Discussion

SPEAKER_01

And if you have seasonings, of course. So you would dip that in there. And I actually like pork skins as a dip. Like, you know, you get some pork skins and queso versus chips and queso. Excellent. So some pork skins and this mere cheese would be great.

SPEAKER_02

When you did your uh corn dip the last time I used my cake, my pork skins, because I tasted really good with it, even though it's not lacurb on the the dip that you made, but it was delicious with the pork skins.

SPEAKER_01

Right. But we'll jump into the pizza. Uh with you. We did the same toppings, but you did your. We actually put a few, you put a little extra.

SPEAKER_02

I didn't put the regular cheese, nor did I put pepper ones on it.

SPEAKER_01

Right.

SPEAKER_02

But I put all the leftover sausage in the bacon, and then I added more beer cheese to the top, and I added pepper flakes.

SPEAKER_01

Pepper flakes, and I'm surprised because that's awesome. I mean, you like pepper flakes after the pizza's cooked. She put it on before it was cooked. This was an over-the-top heap. So beer cheese. We had some sausage uh cooked up, some bacon. You put that on there, right? And then some of the grilled onions.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, yeah, I put some grilled onions on it. Also, grilled onions like that.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, caramelized onions on top of that thing. Don't put them raw, caramelize them.

SPEAKER_02

I think mine was more like like soy than pretty yours.

SPEAKER_01

She is the artist. So when it comes to wanting it to just look really, really special to make it look just beautiful. Um that that's what Dolores does. So she had her pizza, and you looked at it and you're like, wow. I mean, just just take a look at that. That is photo Genesis right there. And mine, it it don't always look the best, but hey, I'm looking for takes.

SPEAKER_02

You said that yours tastes good, but you liked mine more.

SPEAKER_01

She did put the red pepper flakes she did not add the extra mozzarella cheese because I sprinkled some extra mozzarella on top. You can see the whole video, check out the okie smoke and uh YouTube.

SPEAKER_02

Maybe you guys shouldn't have added the extra cheese to it because it was already because the sauce is where it's at.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I I know, I know. But you know, you just keep thinking add more cheese, add more cheese.

SPEAKER_02

I just added more sauce to the top of it, and it looks so good. I wish I could have had a bite of that.

SPEAKER_01

It was it was fire, it really was.

SPEAKER_02

Uh but I had mean my steaks, and my steak was good, and then I have leftovers today.

SPEAKER_01

So let's jump into as we uh continue talking about some of the cooks we did this last week. We did a sirloin steak. You still have a couple of them.

SPEAKER_02

We cooked those so I can eat them for dinner on the big green egg as well.

SPEAKER_01

How'd those turn out? We why'd you put on those? You just she's really got to where you just have one particular season. Let's talk about that. What's that seasoning? Is it the Montreal?

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, that's what it is. I like it because it has everything in it. And you don't have to add extra stuff. It tastes really good with that.

SPEAKER_01

And and it's a low carb.

SPEAKER_02

Like you don't have to have anything else on it.

SPEAKER_01

Now you did say though I had a little bit of a spot you thought was a little undercooked in there, but I thought it looked really good.

SPEAKER_02

It was a little too uh undercooked. A little too undercooked, but I mean it tasted fine, and it tasted fine. I always don't like nasty. But you know how I am. I like it medium well. This one's kind of a little just on parts of it, but a little, a little raw type, a little, I don't know.

SPEAKER_01

If you're still here with us, this is what we do. We try to bring out an episode every week, talk about some of the things we cooked in the in the past week or two.

SPEAKER_02

Do you know what I was wanting you to make? I forgot to ask you if you make some roast on the on the little green guy.

SPEAKER_01

The big green egg.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, I don't know why I can't say that.

SPEAKER_01

She always calls it the little thing, but uh the little green guy. The little green guy, but it it is it it's it's the mini-max version. It's the 13.

SPEAKER_02

Why do they call it the big egg?

SPEAKER_01

Well, I mean, they've got multiple sizes.

Steak and Caramelized Onions

SPEAKER_02

I know. When we went to whatever that place was called, they had a huge one, which is crazy.

SPEAKER_01

Right, they had one that's I mean it's like an extra. If that was the only cooker, the only grill, the only smoker I had, maybe, but I've got so many different ones. That small one works per me. And you would have to have two bags of charcoal in that sucker.

SPEAKER_02

Oh yeah, I can imagine. Yeah, that's pretty big. But I was wanting to do a roast and I forgot to ask you.

SPEAKER_01

That's a roast is something something we could do. I think that sounds good because you know, it just sounds like our last episode we had talked, we were gonna do some wings. We never got to the wings.

SPEAKER_02

That was you want to do the wings.

SPEAKER_01

Still want to do some wings on the big green egg. Haven't done it yet, so that's something that I would like to do.

SPEAKER_02

I don't know, I was just chickened out. I think we have too much chicken on, you know, it was just too much chicken lately.

SPEAKER_01

Just for a second, I just want to jump into some comments we've had in the last uh week or so. Got uh my high mile high guy guy bar Mile High Guy Barbecue Scott over there. He uh commented on uh one of the videos, the quick sirloin cook.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, that's the sirloin, huh?

SPEAKER_01

I just realized I'm looking at this, and I've misspelt the quick sirloin cook on T G E. I've got to fix that. You you found some spelling errors.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, he put geet instead of greats.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, so quick sirloin on I I'll fix maybe not, I don't know, but I just saw it. Yeah, like the spelling. I just noticed the typo there. But uh Mile High Guy, Barbie Scott, said that is one on my bucket list getting a big green egg one day. And so far everything we've cooked on has been fantastic.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, I really like um you know what you're supposed to do, and you haven't done it yet. So what's that is make those cinnamon rolls. You're supposed to videotape it this weekend.

SPEAKER_01

We do have some cinnamon rolls. We're gonna do that. We've got to do that this week. That may just be a little deal we drop midweek. Yeah, maybe. Maybe it'll drop a little later. But uh yeah, we'll do those cinnamon rolls. I think that's gonna be great. I still want to do cookies on it, haven't got to that yet.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, my grandson didn't want to do it last time, did he?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, he was not into it. He's got his rooms and things, but they're not wanting to do it. He he's busy.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, he's been a very popular kid this summer playing playing with his friends.

SPEAKER_01

I see cooking with Sherry, and I haven't we haven't talked about this one, the BLT Cooked Live.

SPEAKER_02

Oh my gosh, I forgot about the BLT. So what's funny about the BLT sandwich is we were inside the grocery store. We were going to get hot links, but they only have like one brand of hot links them all. Like, yeah. And then I was like, ooh, BLT sounds so good. And that's how we started making them.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, yeah, because to be honest, the little Walmart we've had to have the worst selection of hot links I've ever seen. They had one pack of four, and it was like ten dollars or something. Eight ten dollars for like four hot links. I said no. So we we went with the BLT. That's how we come up with it.

SPEAKER_02

And I just thought BLT sounded so good.

SPEAKER_01

She made hers with uh a low-carb bread. But what's that bread you use? Talk about that.

SPEAKER_02

Sola.

SPEAKER_01

Sola. And what is that? One carb per uh two slices?

SPEAKER_02

No, one carb per slice. And then I had me a tomato, bacon, lettuce, and some cheese online with the man.

SPEAKER_01

She was picky on the tomato.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, it had to be a thin slice.

SPEAKER_01

I try I tried to put a nice looking big tomato.

SPEAKER_02

I was like, no, no, no, no, no.

SPEAKER_01

Didn't want that one. Uh but cooking with Sherry said, yum. Also, we're looking here, coupe de grille on our double smoked baked potato. We may have talked about this last episode. Yeah. Uh but this just came in a couple days ago.

SPEAKER_02

Those looked good.

SPEAKER_01

He said these look good. Love us some potatoes up here. What's this?

BLT Sandwiches and Comments

SPEAKER_02

Those would be good for a party. When you cut them in halves.

SPEAKER_01

Right.

SPEAKER_02

Or even forks on those. I don't think make a little one.

SPEAKER_01

Yep. Mr. Mega Fred Zeppelin said rocking looks delicious. I like their Fred Zeppelin. Yeah, that he's cool. And uh the bones pulled right out of the video. Have you seen that? That that was the one that oh my gosh, that that was fantastic.

SPEAKER_02

Well, I think someone had some off of mine.

SPEAKER_01

Yes.

SPEAKER_02

But I basically took over on it. I ate it for two days. And it was so good.

SPEAKER_01

On the uh which one did you eat for two days?

SPEAKER_02

The ribs that you made. Oh, right. The fall off the bone.

SPEAKER_01

The fall off the bone.

SPEAKER_02

See, I like it that way. I know you're not supposed to make it that way, but that way is good. Don't you agree?

SPEAKER_01

Yes. I'm looking. There was someone that uh that had commented, and I'm trying to find it here. Oh, here we go. It's Cindy Eastbourne 7642. She said, Do the keto shells taste as good as regular? This is on our a real old video we did, Smash Burger Tacos.

SPEAKER_02

So I must say they have mission um zero carb tortillas, and I don't really care for those, but I can't remember the ones that I buy from Walmart. It has like an X. It starts with an X. And those ones are really, really good. And to me, those taste like tortillas. Stay with us. We'll be right back.

SPEAKER_01

Hey y'all, it's John from the Okie Smoking Podcast.

SPEAKER_02

And I'm the learners.

SPEAKER_01

We wanted to tell you real quick about something we've been loving in the kitchen lately, the once-for-all meat slicer.

SPEAKER_02

This slicer was a game changer. You guys, it's perfect for slicing a beef jerky for the head of carnival.

SPEAKER_01

But what I really love is it's a beef for making tomato burger. You can slice and grind your own meat for that and fast.

SPEAKER_02

We even put together a video and a website so you can go to the entity and then actually.com slash slicer. That's okay. For the details and links if you want to grab one yourself.

SPEAKER_01

That's okesmokin.com slash slicer. Go check it out. So if you go to Walmart and you find the ones, is is the X like in the center of the bag? Is that the first letter?

SPEAKER_02

No, it's the first letter. It says zero carbs, but they also make different ones of it. That's not zero carbs, so you gotta watch that.

SPEAKER_01

And you think that's one of the better ones.

SPEAKER_02

I think those taste really good. And this I went to Crest and they didn't have those, so I bought Mama Lou's or something like that. And there's theirs wasn't that bad. But still, the the one with the X that starts with the X is the best one.

SPEAKER_01

Okay, someone that is wanting to create something low carb, close to keto, uh and wants to get tortillas. Is there any brand you've ever had that you would say stay away from? It it didn't taste as good or or anything.

SPEAKER_02

I just don't like the mission one.

SPEAKER_01

The mission, that's the only one.

SPEAKER_02

But everybody everybody goes like everybody likes the mission ones, and I just and that's the biggest brand. Yeah. I just don't like the way it tasted. I don't know, there's something about it.

SPEAKER_01

Okay, not not a fan of the mission uh keto or I guess it depends on your taste.

SPEAKER_02

I mean, you may like the mission ones compared to me, you know.

SPEAKER_01

Right. Yeah, everybody will, it's all subjective. Yeah, yeah, for sure that is. I was also as one.

SPEAKER_02

And I I do like the low-carb tortillas, they taste pretty good, uh.

SPEAKER_01

Yep. Um as I mentioned earlier in the beginning of the video, we also were gonna talk just a little bit about your yeast.

SPEAKER_02

Yeast.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Why do you say your yeast? It's not my yeast.

SPEAKER_01

Active yeast.

SPEAKER_02

There you go.

SPEAKER_01

And so we I had I made a pizza, and in the pizza, the dough did not rise.

SPEAKER_02

Twice.

SPEAKER_01

Twice. And there is nothing worked because I I didn't pay attention, you know. We I was planning on making the pizza.

SPEAKER_02

You know that you went to sleep that's why.

SPEAKER_01

So that's why it's important. If you're going to make something that requires it to rise, whether it be bread, whether it be pizza dough, rolls, whatever it is, and you, you know, pass out.

SPEAKER_02

You bear set timer.

SPEAKER_01

You need to wake up and have it do its thing. You want to wake up and it's risen. You want to wake up and it's in good shape. You don't want to wait three hours and realize it was a total bust. That's what happened here. Did that pizza dough look it just it didn't rise at all?

SPEAKER_02

No, but you know what's funny is uh when I got it from the oven and me and Ryan were talking about it, I said, Hey, we can make play-doh out of this. So that's how it was. It was like play-doh texture.

SPEAKER_01

It would be good for you know, use it as some flatbread or something.

SPEAKER_02

No, but we tossed it because you left it in there too long. It got hard.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. So there it goes. So what I did is I went and got some new active yeast. And we basically did just a test.

SPEAKER_02

With that, with that yeast and stuff, can you make fresh cinnamon rolls? Sure. How can you ever do that then? Or even even uh like rolls.

SPEAKER_01

Oh yeah. I could use the bread machine to have it mix up the dough.

SPEAKER_02

Uh, if we do the rolls, we could do an an imitation of the Texas Roadhouse rolls.

SPEAKER_01

Oh golly. So much pressure. How am I gonna do all this? Huh. See, see, I never run out of ideals because she keeps them stacking. I got over there.

SPEAKER_02

This sounds so good. I know I can't have them, but I would definitely eat it.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, we'll have to do that on a cheat day.

SPEAKER_02

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_01

You tell me when we're gonna give it a go. What the fuck? Well, I guess the beer cheese.

SPEAKER_02

I didn't even know, man.

Yeast Proofing Lessons

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, that was really, really good. But going back to the active yeast, what you gotta do is what you should do is make sure it's alive and well before you putting it in your recipe. So I went out and we got some new, a new jar of it, and we put it next to the old. Put some water near 100 degrees in each of them, the same amount. Just throw a tablespoon of yeast from the old and a yeast from the new in two two different cups. But you can sell that.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, you can really tell what what the old one was, because there was the old one was on this side when it and the new one was on this side. Yeah, you could tell.

SPEAKER_01

And yeah, one of them was just flat.

SPEAKER_02

It was all like like some stuff came out, but most of it was like water on the top part.

SPEAKER_01

It it it almost looked like just a clump of nothing.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, kind of it reminded me of like when you add oil to something, the oil just sits thinking.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, you could definitely tell it wasn't any good. And you could we did a video on that if you want to check it out. But basically the one that was good almost instantly, because I was re-watching the video and I suddenly and I was stirring it. And I'm sitting there and I said, Well, here in a little bit we'll see if there's any bubbles or see if anything. I'm watching a video and there's already bubbles in it the whole time. It's like people are probably watching it's like, yeah, that one's looking good. Compared to the one that did nothing. There was no bubbles in there.

SPEAKER_02

So why did that one go flat? When it was new too, basically on that.

SPEAKER_01

It was pretty new. I mean, it's not that old. Um, it didn't last that long.

SPEAKER_02

It was what where did we buy it though? Didn't we buy it at the Walmart market?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Maybe that's why that was not that long ago when we bought that.

SPEAKER_01

It wasn't that long ago.

SPEAKER_02

We should have checked the dates on it.

SPEAKER_01

It should last longer, but it didn't for whatever reason. So but it's important, I would say, whenever you're going to use anything that requires yeast, make sure you don't put the yeast directly in the recipe. Number one. And number two, you're gonna have to probably add water or something, and then you'll put the yeast in it. Stir it, get the bubbles, make sure you get a little foam that verifies it's good before adding it to the recipe. If you don't get those signs, you probably need to go get some other yeast so you don't waste it with your time and everything.

SPEAKER_02

Did you just rush it and put everything together and then stick it down in there?

SPEAKER_01

No, I I didn't do that. I actually did put the yeast in the water separately, like you're supposed to, and I just stirred it. I just I guess I kind of rushed it. I did I didn't well, I just didn't look. I just stirred it. I just assumed. Yeah, I just assumed so I added it to all of the flour because when it comes to making the pizza dough, which by the way is one of the best pizza doughs when it's done right, in my opinion.

SPEAKER_02

You know what? Speaking of pizza dough, I think there is a keto pizza dough that I could buy off of Amazon. And you just add either water or whatever to it.

SPEAKER_01

I wonder what that's made out of.

SPEAKER_02

I don't know. I remember like looking online for you know, like breads and stuff. You know how how I used to buy that one bread. What was that? The bread that I used to buy on online, it had like tortillas and all all sorts of bread together. Who was that?

SPEAKER_01

Do they not have that anymore?

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, they do, but remember it's expensive.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, it's kind of it's it's it's it's not really made out of the stuff of bread because bread basically bread can't be keto. They find alternative uh things to make it taste similar to bread or close to.

SPEAKER_02

Whenever I find out what that bread was, I'll let you guys know because that one was so good. It came with two loaves of bread and also three sets of tortillas in it. And I know it's expensive, but it was so good. It used to get delivered to our house. And one year it got delivered to someone else's house, and we got their package, remember? I was so sad. I told I called my husband, like, oh my gosh, they sent mine to their own house. We have so many else's. But then later on, they came to our house when we're gone, remember? And they they were looking for their package.

SPEAKER_01

Right, and we and they were not real close, they were a couple streets away.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, and they handed our package to Jacob, right? I think so.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

And that's how he got home.

SPEAKER_01

And that was FedEx, if I if I remember right.

SPEAKER_02

So then when we got home, we delivered it to her house.

SPEAKER_01

Right, yeah, they brought our package to our house when we weren't here. Jacob or son took the package. We looked at the package, the name on the package was the person of the package we had delivered.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. And I ordered off of Amazon too, but it comes FedEx.

SPEAKER_01

That one came FedEx. Most of them do come Amazon.

SPEAKER_02

Well, that one always comes FedEx on that one. Because it's not really by Amazon, I guess.

SPEAKER_01

Right, it's delivered third party or whatever, I'm not sure.

SPEAKER_02

But so it was cheaper on Amazon than the site, I should say.

SPEAKER_01

We took, we actually went and drove the package to the correct person.

SPEAKER_02
