    I often do Jim Lahey's no knead dough. Mix it in the morning and use it that evening. I think he calls for an 8-18 hour room temp rise. Eight's been fine for me.

    Same recipe I think.



    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    Or if you really want a quick pie, try a Chicago deep dish in less than two hours!

    I’ve already had a look at it 😂 I don’t have enough counter top space for it 🤷‍♂️.  I’ve been having fun with Detroit style indoors but I need to remember to unplug the fire alarm before baking because it inevitably ends up in tons of smoke.

    Cooked these over the last couple of days.

    I tried something new. This was 10% Whole Wheat, about 8% Spelt, and the balance gold medal bread flour (the only BF available here). It was 65% hydration, 2% salt, and 20% sourdough levain. 
    It made a good crust. It browned well, and had a good balance of chew and crispiness. I’ll probably make it again.

    Crust got away from me on the one side a bit in the roccbox but still a pretty delicious pizza for dinner. Pepperoni, mozzarella, habanero cheese, and topped with some fresh green onion from the garden and a basil infused salt.

  • Glad to see this one resurface.  It's one of my favorites.

    Also, it's been way too long since I've made any pizza.  I need to rectify that.

    It has been entirely too long since we broke out the pizza oven. Started yesterday morning by making a batch of dough at 68% hydration for a 36 hour proof in the fridge.

    First pie we did was an apple and brie on a ricotta base. I stole this from JIC years ago. I hit it with some hot honey before serving. 

    Second pie was potato, bacon and Gorgonzola on ricotta. Third was pepperoni and bell pepper. The oven was a little too hot for this one. It got a little dark. @Dawgtired here is the thread
