giant

food with my friends and special guests I always wanted making a

giant

grilled

cheese no one asked me to do it but i love cheese poles and i have been really inspired by this channel called healthy junk food, they have mastered the art of making these. Crazy Giant Foods I thought it would be fun to invite you over to see if maybe you'd judge one of my creations, so let's meet you.

How are you? Thank you for coming just for people who may not know who you are, what do you do? y'all my name is Julia and this is JP we are JP and Julia and we started healthy junk food in 2013 to try to be healthier we started making copycat recipes like Big Macs and Crunchwrap Supremes making a healthier recipe and then we thought Hey, let's make it bigger. I like the way they think they've

made

several amazing giant

grilled

cheese videos. One of the trickiest things about making a giant golden cheese is that you have to get the final cheese, so when I get to that point I might ask them to come, you know, come and help me because I've never done it before and I really think that Your experience would help me make that cheese truly amazing.

I'm fine with it as long as they do it. for me, a soup, I need to dip it in there so you guys feel free to hang out and relax. I'm going to go work in the kitchen and take it from there, see you here, thanks for your room before you leave. 18 for Alvin, okay, we're going to make giant grilled cheese and the first step in giant grilled cheese is giant bread, so we're going to take nine cups of warm water, this will help make sure that the yeast is good and doesn't activate too much. hot. it's going to kill it oil, salt, sugar, wow and yeast, and I'm just going to mix this until all the sugar, salt and yeast are kind of dissolved in the water, these tools come in and they start to grow, okay, that looks pretty good.

The next step is ten cups of flour, a lot of flour, but we will do this in batches; this is just half of it, trying to make sure there aren't any huge lumps. Welcome to ASMR with Alvin, this is about half the flour and us. We're going to add the second half, this is a total of about 40 cups, they'll help her. Nate will make enough bread for all the dough, he's fine, so he's coming together, we'll dump it out on the table and finish kneading. flour whoo LeBron James LeBron James LeBron James here we go oh, that was a bad idea, you're going to start needing this guy, oh, we're going to need a lot of flour, this looks like a hunting job, oh, okay, this is the dough we're going to make Call it my bread baby and this is enough dough for both slices of bread and the grilled cheese, so we're actually going to divide it in half mmm, that's okay, great, so we have two balls of dough, each of which will make a slice of bread for the grilled cheese, you will need to ferment for 30 minutes so I will cover them and wait for them to rise.

We have plenty of time while the bread ferments, so we'll make tomato soup because you can't. have a giant golden cheese without a lot of tomato soup, we'll follow up with a good amount of motor oil, as Gordon Ramsay likes to say, we'll add some vegetables, so we've got garlic, we've got celery and onions, oh it smells really good, so We're going to add a little salt for taste, pepper and tomato paste, and this has to cook a little bit. Can I spread it and fry it a little, very tomato-y, to make a tomato steam facial bath?

Well, let's cook a little. Caramelize really well, so now I think you're ready to put in the liquid ingredients or go with the crushed tomatoes. We have eight 28-ounce cans of tomatoes, 224 ounces of tomatoes total, then 6 quarts of vegetable broth and some fresh basil as well. I love this, always smell the basil before you hide the food, guys, it doesn't change anything about the food, but it makes you feel better, let's bring this to a boil and I'll see you in a moment, it's already been 30 minutes this is looks amazing, so at this point we have a lot of tomatoes here, that has a lot of acidity.

Look, we want to add some baking soda. It is basic like a couple of my friends and will help balance and counteract that acidity of the tomatoes. okay, it's been simmering for a while, it's mellowed out a bit now let's play with it. This is probably one of my favorite weapons of mass destruction in the kitchen. It's an immersion blender that we're going to blend and puree all those vegetables that we added earlier. Some of the crushed tomatoes. A little basil. This is so good. Pretty good. Obviously you should add a little heavy cream. This isn't diet food, but it's incredibly amazing, so let's do it with all those beautiful ones. the streaks are just starting to break the surface oh that's good well we

made

three gallons of creamy tomato soup to go with the grilled cheese.

We're going to take this to the back and continue making our giant grilled cheese, so our dough has been fermenting. about an hour, these will be the size of each slice of bread because it is the largest tray that we can place in a

tasty

oven, come on, it is ringing with your fingertips, spread them in the corners of the tray in this process, too we knocked down some of the air that had come out of the bacteria he was farting during the test section, okay, that's one, here's number two, come on, wait, that's amazing, I'll never get tired of that, oh wow , this one is really fun to try to get. a lot of air came out of this cold, well this one looks really good, these two are going to ferment for another 30 minutes and make their final rise before we put them in the oven.

They have been fermenting for about 30 minutes and got a little bigger. It became much smoother and shiny and they are basically ready for the oven. We are going to bake two giant slices of bread. We have some pretty impressive slices of bread right now. One thing I think is important about grilled cheese is that it is made with slices of bread, not the ends of the bread, that means both sides have no crust in the heart. I go in here, you start slow, this is great since both sides need to be trimmed. I have an idea that I think will work. make it look like it's trimmed, so we'll use a microplane to level out the crust of the bread to make some breadcrumbs.

Oh, it's working, oh yes, the strategy worked very well because I think I did come in with a knife. on both sides I'm not very good with knife skills. I may have destroyed the bread and made it like it's not usable at all, but it looks pretty good, so I've been working on this for quite a while, so yeah, this is looks pretty good, this is our slice Bottom has a little hollow like a bit of bread with small bread walls so the cheese doesn't escape. We have four beautiful and surprising cheeses. We have mozzarella, American and Hardy cheddar, so let's start with cheddar and then we'll go with mozzarella, so it's American and some Havarti.

Watch it to make it fit perfectly. I want to build a grid here. Four types of cheeses. We have 24 rows of cheese. Each row has four cheeses, so we have 996 slices. of cheese on the cheese roll, okay, so we're going to spread this with butter, a lot of melted butter, a lot of bread, so you need a lot of butter, we're going to put like two sticks of butter on this guy, it's a lot, but hey. It's going to be great and if you're eating grilled cheese, I don't think you'll be too worried about that content anyway, okay, so this is the really fun part that we get to play with fire.

This is a great tool that extends. the flame over a larger area because it's a little difficult to get this bread into a pan that's big enough to toast so we're going to use fire instead and I like to play with it so I've been here for about 30 minutes. just burn the spilled cheese it smells really good the butter the bread is browning we're making browned butter basically this looks really good we're getting a really nice crust and we're actually going to take this guy this is a beautiful display of cheese 96 slices and We're going to put it in the oven, so I'll see you in a moment, look at this, it looks so amazing, it's like a chess board full of cheese.

I'm really excited that he's kept his form, he's okay, everything's going well. Alright, we'll put it back in the oven or about 20 minutes or so and we'll go and oh this is a heavy grilled cheese oh my gosh okay this is the last baked grilled cheese that's been in the oven for a total. about 45 minutes, the top and bottom are heated through, it's crispy, it crunches, if you can hear, we have these giant pizza peels that we're going to try to use to put this on the board, here we go, well, I'm about to cut it. but the thing is, this is a pretty complicated part and I don't want to spoil it, so I'm going to call in the experts.

JP Julia. If you want to come and help me, I'm here to help you in everything you do. You, how are you doing? Well, that's bigger than ours, oh, I thought yours is super huge, no, I'm proud, okay, here we go, oh my God, we're in, come on, Alvin, come on, Alvin, you have beautiful hands, thank you . Sometimes you put concealer on them. a nice long pass to make sure we're level, so the strategy I think we should try to put our hands underneath to try to hold as much as possible along the seam, yeah, like that actually, so maybe Julie , if you want to get it. this area is like a little cheese baby one who was crazy he's me I heard you guys wanted tomato soup oh my god oh yes mamacita hurt yourself there I'm going to have an interview with Sun excuse me oh no oh you guys don't waste your time The taste, this It's Flavortown.
