I ask because I attempted a recipe for vegan "meatballs" today. The base was uncooked red lentils, which raised an eyebrow. Shocker, they tasted like raw red lentils (spices and sauce notwithstanding). The recipe also called for baking soda, so they exploded a little in the tomato sauce due to the acidity. 2/10 looking for a different recipe.
I wouldn't say it's my worst, though. One time I tried to hard boil an egg in the microwave. With the shell still on.
What's a culinary project that didn't go your way?
Oof, working with high hydration dough can be a challenge. Did the second time end up going better?
We haven't tried again since then lol, my partner was so negatively impacted from the experience that I'm going to try again without them.
Oh dear! Best wishes on your future pizza journeys, then.
