    In Germany there is this very old recipe called "Flammkuchen" which is basicall a very thin unleavened dough topped with creme fraiche, bacon and onions. Traditionally it was the first kind of thing you would bake in an oven just like the one John used. The Flammkuchen needs very high heat to make the thinly spread dough crispy and the onions just translucent so the really high temperature once the oven has been mopped is perfect for it. Once it cooled down you would switch to bread and pies.

    We have a huge dutch oven at our homestead built back in the late 1700's and it still cooks perfectly today, Its basically the massive version of this one with its own built in roof. Its basically its own little building. Im 40yrs old and have been self employed my entire life. Its been a long 20yrs of 12hr days 7 days a week for the most part so im moving totally off grid to simplify life ans just enjoy this gift the lord gave us. Why work until you die, I always said for what? so im trying a different approach and i see many others are as well which says much!

    No better topic for a fine autumn day that this clay oven baked dinner! Brandon demonstrates Townsend's 'Just-In-Time' inventory system😜. Bryan has the ''great hands" of a cook as well as the mind for it. AFTER DINNER: a nap and then BACK TO WORK. 'We are BURNING DAYLIGHT here!' This reminds me a bit of Harvest Meals during Threshing periods on my grandfather's farm.
