My wife wanted to invite her office coworkers to our house for lunch. We had pizza of course. 
This one is a classic margherita pizza. 

On this one I used pesto in place of tomato sauce and added some chicken I roasted earlier. 

Once the oven cooled down I made another stab at bread. It's still not exactly what I'm aiming for but I'm closing in. 


Life is good my friends.

    Thanks. The bread tastes great - I'm still trying to get it to look the way I want. A fellow has to have goals, right?

    Thanks. I'm still trying to get a consistent ear on my loaves. I'm not sure if it's my scoring, or if I don't have enough tension from shaping my loaf. Or something else... These had a decent bloom but no ear.

    I might suggest it's the score. Try cutting at 120 degrees or so instead of 180.
