I achieved the same crunchiness on a baking pan as I did on the pizza stone. My stand mixer made easy work of it, kept it clean, and I didn't have to spread flour on my counter.
The flavor was a little flat. I'll add 25% more salt next time (an extra tsp). Definitely keep the seeds as it wan't too spicy. I'll probably double the amount of chipotles/adobe next time. Maybe I'll de-seed half of them. The Big Green Egg charcoal grill added a nice flavor (didn't add any wood chips) without overpowering at all. Next time I'll put 50% of the dough in one blob, not two, on my pizza stone on the Egg, and the rest in the oven in two blobs.
Jessie Kay, please consider re-writing step 2 so it is crystal clear that all 9 cups of flour are to be added in that step. Your parenthesis confused me and made me think "remaining flour" was of the 4 cups, not the 9. Adding the phrase "remaining 5 cups" would have been clearer, at least for me. I added the remaining 5 cups at the very end and expected hockey puck scones since it rose only 20% (vs. 200%) before cooking, but it turned out well, had air pockets, and looked just like all the other pics.
Excellent recipe as is! Five stars as is.
The second time I made it I substituted brown sugar for white and liked it even better. I also used olive oil instead of sesame oil and didn't notice the difference. I also used the entire bunch of green onion and about 3-4 times more garlic and that also helped kicked it up. I let it marinade for two days with all of that, and it still wasn't too much flavor.
Searing it in a skillet puts off some serious smoke, so use the (outside) eye on the grill if you have one. Next time I plan to use the actual grill, with one of those grill pans with small holes, to keep the meat from falling down into the fire.
PAIRING: Goes very well over sticky white rice with sides of steamed broccoli and/or fresh green beans sautéed in garlic.
