Dad’s Thanksgiving Birthday Dinner, with Lindsey’s Dessert

Flatbreads from the Pizza Oven

Chicken bacon ranch, barbeque chicken, and Margherita flatbreads. I did a relatively quick pizza dough (6 hours bulk, 2 hour proof) with 125g dough balls stretched into ovals. Used my sister’s Ooni Koda pizza oven which is the same one I own. I think they work great, though we had some trouble getting up to temp with charcoal today.

I topped the barbeque chicken pizza with just chicken and pickled red onion, though my dad asked for bacon as well on it. The pickled red onion was a perfect acidic contribution.

My favorite was the chicken bacon ranch which is just delicious. The Margherita also turned out well but I’ve made those many times before.

Brownie Sundae

Lindsey requested a brownie sundae bar. I used Brian Lagerstrom’s Best Fudgy Brownies recipe, though I struggled with my sister’s oven so it was a little underbaked. Still delicious, and I had a variety of toppings lined up to finish off the plate. Simple and yummy!
