    Bologna Recipe, Four Pounds

    My ham presses are two pound capacity and I have two of them, so that's why this is scaled to four pounds.

    2 lbs lean ground beef
    2 lbs ground pork shoulder

    Dry Seasoning

    11 g Kosher salt
    4.6 g Prague Powder #1
    8 g sugar
    3.5 g garlic powder
    3.5 g onion powder
    3.5 g white pepper
    1.2 g ground coriander
    1.5 g smoked paprika
    0.8 g mustard powder
    0.5 g allspice
    0.5 g mace
    2.5 g "flavor enhancer" MSG

    Binder and Liquid

    20 g nonfat dry milk
    40-44 g ice water (I use more as needed.)

    Process:

    Mix dry seasonings and dry milk into the ground meat/pork
    Add ice water and emulsify in stand mixer with paddle until sticky and elastic.
    Divide into 2 lb batches to stuff into presses (this is very sticky)
    Put caps on presses and leave in fridge overnight under spring pressure.
    Place presses in a hot water bath until internal temp reaches 155 F
    Remove, drain, and chill completely.
    Slice while cold.

    You could then smoke the chubs at a low temp for smoked bologna.

    Damn, this place is dangerous. I’d never heard of a meat press until this week, and now I need one to make my own bologna! Looks great, Brian!

      I thought the same thing Sid. What are those, why don’t I have any?

        Great job Brian, but you have now confirmed what we all thought - you are full of bologna.

        BTW - can anyone here type "bologna" without thinking of that bologna commercial? I know the song goes through my mind every time, (and it's a short trip).

          RonB you're too late. My wife said that many years ago :-) And yep, that's how I spell it in my head. B-O-L-O-G-N-A.

        I'm not buying anything else until I get the pizza oven unboxed and running. Thank you very much.

          I guess I missed it. What did you buy?

          Sid P I got the Everdure Kiln 2 that Uncle Bob posted about awhile back. Weather and time has left it in the box.

        Man this is excellent! Do you have a link to your ham press? Thank you Brian.

          Type "ham press" into Amazon search. That'll turn into entertainment for you looking at all the options :-)
