#stuffed bread

Stuffed pan bread, about 5 minutes (assuming you have premade dough and some kind of filling that only needs to be warmed up, not cooked)

Use any premade dough (home made sourdough, store bought pizza dough, crescent roll dough, frozen pie crust, etc)

Stretch it as thin and flat as you can and lay it gently onto a preheated, oiled skillet on medium high heat.

Add fillings (cheese, cooked veg, cooked protein of choice such as beans, tuna, chili, leftover anything) being careful to leave plenty of bare dough around the edges.

Fold over and mash edges together to seal, reduce heat to medium low.

Eat.

Flip when golden brown, then cover and reduce heat to low, then let rest a couple minutes until the second side is golden.

Put on plate and let cool for a minute because boiling cheese and steam will burn your face. Also it gives it a little extra time to make sure the center is fully cooked.

(may contain swirly gif)

On a floured surface, put circle of bread dough, top with a spoonful of mashed potatoes (or any other precooked filling. Any leftover stew or casserole works) A bit of cheese is also good.

Fold shut, pinch well to close, flip over and flour well all over.

Put into lightly oil hot skillet, toast a bit, then flip over and toast the other side.

Swirl the pan to toast and shape the edges. (Caution: terrible gif of pan swirling below, may induce motion related nausea)

If you have a probe thermometer, stab test to make sure it is cooked through. Should be around 190-200F degrees for cooked dough, and filling should be at least 160F for a couple of minutes.

(Optional: remove from heat, cover the pan, let it rest covered for 5 minutes to finish steaming inside from residual heat.)

Pepperoni Pizza Bombs

OH! I love this! The image of us all just being the little spices that help make up the rotisserie chicken of earth is really cool! It also just makes us the matter since we each help make the chicken what it is. Each of us are a part of a whole and that’s wonderful

But then again, when you take into account the way rotisserie chicken is made, it's kind of similar but not all the way?

The lava is as much a physical part of the Earth as the rock, while a brine or marinade is less of such an integral part (in my opinion at least). Additionally, what would be considered the meat? Is there an ability for the meat to be “done” or “cooked”? 

Also the implication that something would be willing to crack open the earth like a rotisserie chicken is not fun!

Anyhow:

In my opinion the earth is sort of like a stuffed bread!

A lot of the outside and middle parts of the bread are the same and consist of the same makeup, but then the deeper in the bread, the less "cooked"/hardened it is! So like the outside of the bread will get crisper faster than the inside

The center of the Earth is our molten core, which is mostly iron, and that could be the "stuffing"/center of the bread

The center could sort of be like chocolate, where it's supposed to be melty

The sun and physics could still be the oven

We could kind of be like the yeast? Maybe like powdered sugar?

What would be something you sprinkle on top of bread that stays there as it cooks?

Hm

Maybe a savory bread?

Focaccia? Like the rosemary on top? Would that make the olive oil the ocean?

Or would it be like a cheesy bread? The cheese could be all gooey and soft!

Or is it like a sweet bread? Maybe like chocolate or caramel?

Maybe like we could be some sprinkles or something

Maybe it’s more like a cake? Maybe a lava cake?

Would that count? Since a lava cake is based off lava?

Or is it even based off lava?

Isn’t more like a magma cake since the chocolate is beneath the surface?

But then would it be even magma since it can’t harden into cake?

But then again what would?

Are we more like an underbaked cake?
