One of our recent projects "in the classroom".

Decided to make an all beef pepperoini (salame piccante) with the kids. Started with ~#7 of beef and ~#3 beef fat. Went with a 70/30 blend because we used very lean beef and needed the extra fat to lubricate the meat. Chose to use collagen casings and use only beef lean and fat due to the dietary restrictions of some of my students. Recipe can be found HERE.

Pepperoni and Sausage Pizza with a little roasted garlic oil brushed on the crust.



Pepperoni and Sausage Pizza. We made bulk Italian sausage as well for the pizza. Left it uncased because we were pressed for time.

Fin!



Another day in the classroom!
