About
A dad, three sons, one kitchen.
I'm Rashad Bayram. I live in Edmonton, Alberta, and I cook for my three boys. About 95% of what they eat is made at home, from bread and pizza dough to weeknight dinners.
Why I started
Cooking for three growing boys means a lot of food, every day. Somewhere along the way I got hooked on dough: sourdough, flatbreads, pastry, pizza. I wanted to know why a starter rises, why one loaf opens up and another doesn't, and how to make good food at home without fuss.
Dadz Cooking is where I share it. Every episode comes with the full recipe written out, and the guides go deeper on the why. The boys are my three honest critics: their verdict ends every recipe.
The pot
Four curls of steam: the tall one is me, the three shorter ones are my boys. You'll see it at the end of every recipe.
What I stand for
Real food, made at home.
Good ingredients, simple methods, and food my boys actually eat. No shortcuts I wouldn’t use myself.
Honest results.
You see what worked and what didn’t. The flat loaf gets filmed too, because that’s how you learn.
Numbers you can trust.
Grams, temperatures and times, written down the way I actually did it.
