There was no picture. This should be a warning sign on online recipes. You can find the recipe for the flammekueche here. It's actually a New York Times recipe so apparently that's a thing.
The second recipe is a regular Pinterest recipe for green beans. This family loves them their green beans.
oh-em-gee… I cannot for the life of me figure out how to upload the picture… frustration-nation!
Here's the link.
Well! Anyway…
Gang's all here! Except the dough ingredients and almonds. Fun fact: almonds are one of the many things my mom is allergic to.
I didn't take a picture of the mixing process because I was all by my lonesome for this feast and because I feel like probably you know what flour and water look like together.
The garlic before I roasted it. Roasting garlic is one of the best things ever. It takes one of my favorite foods and makes it taste even more delicious as well as make the whole house smell divine.
The dough after one hour.
It said with a "generous" amount of salt and pepper. Does this look generous? I have no idea how much salt and pepper is enough ever.
This is what a cup each of ricotta and sour cream look like together. So, in case you were wondering...
Mixed together with the shallots. I used three. Could have used just two. Definitely not as much onion as they suggested.
Mom and Dad wanted salami and red peppers on their pizza. I actually love chopping and whatnot so I quite enjoyed the extra requests.
Apparently I didn't take a picture after the second rise. In exchange, here's what the dough looked like stretched on the pizza stone.
With the cheese sauce.
Toppings! I put tomatoes and garlic slices on my part.
Green beans after roasting in the oven for about 30 minutes or so. It suggested longer but we had waaaay less than 2 pounds so I think that's why it didn't take as long.
With chopped roasted garlic, parmesan and lemon juice & zest.
Out of the oven!
Sorry for the haphazardness of this post. It's really much easier to cook multiple items and take pictures at the same time when there's two people cooking.
I started to get apprehensive about the pizza recipe after I saw the white sauce in the bowl. For some reason I thought it would look more like alfredo sauce or something. Even just ricotta would probably have looked more appetizing. I thought maybe about frying the onions first to make them softer and more flavorful but the recipe said just having them in the sauce for 15 minutes would do that and I tried to trust it. This was wrong. The onions were softer than raw but they would have been better cooked a little first. It also seemed to lack flavor. Maybe a little salt would have helped. I seem to forget that a lot. It also just looked pretty unappetizing. It wasn't BAD, it just wasn't that good. I used that same Robin Hood flour blend for the crust and that might be the reason it tasted a bit bitter. I did, however, like the recipe before I ate it. The recipe was easy and the method was not as hard as other bread recipes I've made before. It wasn't hard to knead at all which was really nice. We also omitted the bacon because I don't eat pork. Thank goodness we added our own toppings because this pizza would have tasted pretty bland and bitter otherwise. Recipe was pretty much a flop.
The green beans were quite a stark contrast to the pizza. Total success. We couldn't stop eating them, which was good because the pizza took longer to cook than the recipe said and the beans were done much sooner than the entree. My dad said there was no way we could have eaten two pounds of beans but I beg to differ. The roasted garlic and lemon was just soooo good with the beans. The parmesan was a nice salty addition that you could really taste. Ugh, I'd make these every day. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. Try these. Try these in super large quantities. Do it now. You're welcome.
Stuck to the script: good question. Not including the omissions in ingredients, I did pretty good I think. Close to 100%
