Happy Bitcoin Pizza Day! 🍕₿ What better way to celebrate than making pizza from scratch? Here’s my go-to pizza dough recipe — simple, delicious, and perfect for a crispy, chewy homemade pizza night. Sourdough or Not Pizza Dough Recipe Makes 2 pizzas 🍕🍕 Ingredients * 320g bread flour * 225g water (add 30–50g more if using yeast instead of sourdough starter) * 60g sourdough starter (or 0.5–1g dry yeast) * 6g salt * 6g extra virgin olive oil Instructions 1. Mix Combine everything until no dry flour remains. The dough will look rough and shaggy at first — don’t worry, time does the hard work. 2. Rest & Fold * Rest 30 mins * Stretch and fold * Repeat this 3 times total You’ll see the dough become smoother and stronger after each set. 3. Rise Divide into 2 dough balls and let them rise until doubled. You can: * Bake them the same day, or * Cold ferment overnight in the fridge for even better flavor. If refrigerated, let the dough come back to room temperature before baking. 4. Bake * Heat oven to 250°C * Stretch the dough however you like * First bake with just sauce for 7–9 mins * Add toppings and bake another 5–7 mins until bubbly and golden And that’s it — homemade pizza with a beautifully light crust, crispy edges, and loads of flavor. 🍕 @Zap Cooking #sourdough #foodstr

I’ve been enjoying baking #sourdough in a loaf pan lately. No fuss with steaming, and they fit in the toaster much more easily 🍞 #foodstr

I’ve been really enjoying baking (and eating 😆) these sweet potato brownies 🤤 They’re pretty guilt-free too—no refined sugar, just natural sweetness from the sweet potatoes and a bit of honey. They’re definitely different from regular brownies, but as someone with a big sweet tooth, this has been such a great alternative! Here’s the recipe if you’re interested 😊 Note: I get the best results using Beni Haruka sweet potatoes, but regular orange sweet potatoes work well too. Purple sweet potatoes are okay, but a bit more starchy and not as sweet for my liking. Hope you enjoy baking! 💛 Sweet Potato Brownies Ingredients * 250 g cooked sweet potato (mashed smooth) * 2 eggs * 60 g peanut butter (or any nut butter) * 40 g cocoa powder * 40–60 g honey (adjust to taste) * 1 tsp vanilla * ½ tsp baking soda * Pinch salt Optional: * 40–60 g dark chocolate chips (70%+) * 1–2 tbsp milk (if batter too thick) ⸻ Method 1. Prep * Preheat oven to 180°C * Line a small baking pan (8x8”) ⸻ 2. Mix 1. Mash sweet potato until very smooth 2. Add: * eggs * peanut butter * honey * vanilla 3. Mix in: * cocoa * baking soda * salt Batter should be thick but spreadable ⸻ 3. Bake * Pour into pan * Bake 20–25 minutes Center should be slightly soft (fudgy) ⸻ 4. Cool (important) * Let cool at least 20–30 minutes texture sets as it cools #foodstr #zapcooking #bakestr

I usually make Thai-style crispy pork belly, but this time I tried the Hong Kong style. I think the main difference is that Thai-style has puffier skin and is great for using in other dishes like pad kra pao or noodles. The Hong Kong style has thinner, crispier skin, with juicier meat and more flavor—it’s perfect on its own. I also made a bok choi dish and some shu mai to give the meal a Cantonese/Hong Kong vibe. Honestly, the shu mai looked really cute one by one… but all together they kind of gave off Halloween vibes 🤣 #foodstr
