  • If you’re just desk jockeying for 10 hours, I’d say skip the breakfast entirely. A nice iced coffee (black or splash of oatmilk) goes a long way towards curbing hunger.

    If you absolutely MUST eat in the morning, a smoothie is nice and cold, quick to make, and can be as high/low in calories as you desire. I make mine with a banana, frozen strawberries, protein powder, peanut butter powder, and soy milk (~300kcal, 30g protein) but I only have one on days I go to the gym (4 days a week)




  • Yeah, you won’t ever have the tang that comes with using yogurt, but since I’m pretty much always stuffing them with pretty flavorful fillings, I don’t really notice.

    I can’t comment on the texture because I’ve never made naan in anything but my ooni. You can snag the smaller models second hand for pretty cheap if you’re watching around. But it definitely has limited uses, and traditional bread is NOT one of them.



  • Regarding naan- I tried with all the liquids. Water, plant milk, fake yogurt, and mixtures of all the above. I literally don’t notice a difference. So now I just use soy milk because it’s what I usually have on hand.

    For me, the major contributor is using 50% whole wheat flour. And cook for like 30 seconds in the ooni at 800f. Honestly super easy, and takes the level of any curry dish to the next level without much additional effort.


  • Oh hell yeah. You got all the trickery going on there. It’s a rabbit hole I fell down years ago, so I wanted to see if you had done the same.

    Eventually I caved and got a propane Ooni, but after going vegan I make far more naan and pita than I do pizza with it!

    Either way, beautiful pizza. I’ve found the liquid mozz miyoko’s vegan cheese to be the best approximation for craving that “pizza” shaped hole.

    Not true. VFTs prefer nutrient poor soil. In fact, the main reason owners of these plants fail to keep them alive is not watering them with pure enough water. You’re supposed to use water with a TDS below 100ppm. Rain water or RO water preferred.

    The reason these plants can survive in such low nutrient soils is because they evolved a different mechanism for obtaining nutrients.










  • Okay, thanks. This is a good summary. It really seems like a rice cooker would be a worthwhile investment. I just don’t have any more cupboard space!! I’ve been resisting for a while. But my rice and bean consumption has just been climbing. Spend your money where you spend your time, right?

    A second instapot insert is an interesting idea as well. Do you know if they stack neatly?
