Thank you. I looked up a method for 70% hydration dough and made some to use last night. It was delicious, but I forgot to take photos.

I don't own a Thermomix, so I used the conventional method.

Nico's Pizza Dough (70% Hydration / Cold Ferment) (Thermomix & Conventional Methods) - Urban Provider Cooking School

Perfect for portable gas or wood fired pizza ovens such as the Roccboxx, Ovana, Dome or Ooni! Recipe Updated: September 24th 2022 I was born with the

I now feel the need for a proper pizza oven too.

Fred Mk 2 and partner inherited a Gasmate gas pizza oven from partner's parents. Twin rack thing with light and piezoelectric ignition. It has a wee steel box to stick inside to cremate dead tree to fake a wood fired ambience and it works unbelievably goodly. It was a gift to the parents who didn't use it. So it is now at my place waiting on their (#2+1=3) move next year. I put wheels on the little table it came with and now it is mobile because it is awkward for one person to move. Fred Mk1 took it camping and the oven got a work out, pizza, croissants, cookies, bread etc so he is looking for one too. Gasmate do a nifty single rack in stainless... They are reasonably expensive for what they are and my quick inspection (since we will need to get one when this is taken) is that the Bunnings version is the same and less than 50% of the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ and has a trolley! I was going to build a brick edifice but this has convinced me there is no need to go to that trouble.

That pizza dough looks excellent. Sadly I need geriatric friendly and a decent pizza base to date is beyond my capabilities, I have bread and rolls sorted and I am still working on a pizza dough.

Sweet, thanks. I was looking at the Bunnings ones. I can't justify the expense of a Gozney or Ooni. And I don't have an undercover outdoor area, so I need it to be portable.

Edit: @Dales Cannon , do you have a link to the one you mentioned? Thanks :)

Has anybody got a recommendation for a tofu press? There's a couple different types.
I've been watching Will It Tofu on https://www.youtube.com/@marystestkitchen and the one Mary uses looks a bit breakable.

Are you wanting it to make your own tofu, or to squeeze out the water of store bought tofu?
If the latter, I made a simple press with two chopping boards and 4 coach screws with appropriate sized wing nuts (stainless steel)

My sister makes her own tofu with a press like this:

Tofu Box Maker Press Mold Kit + Cloth DIY Homemade Kitchen AU Tofu DIY Tool A4X4 | eBay

Tofu fabric: cotton. Tofu machine mold material: food grade PP. Tofu is comfortable and soft, including reusable cheese cloth. Gauze is breathable, soft and absorbent. Size: Box: 14 11 9.5cm, cloth: 40 40cm.
www.ebay.com.au

You'll need to use cheese cloth with it.
