Pizza
So after all the dough making, I returned to my nemesis, pizza dough. Pizza dough is my nemesis because when I worked at Godfather's pizza I made pizza dough daily, but it was this very specific recipe and was meant to be done by a mindless idiot at 7am. My artisan dough people haven't tackled pizza dough yet so I hunted down a different recipe but looked for one that kept to similar principles - essentially 4 ingredients: water, flour, yeast, salt. I rejected all the recipes that utilize sugar in any form because it is a pointless ingredient, as I've discovered. The yeast does just fine without it.
My recipe was still a bit too bready but on the right track. Less yeast, more flour, and just like my artisan bread, I need to let the dough rest longer.
I brushed the pan and dough with olive oil blessed with garlic. I was ultimately impressed with the end result. So as long as I plan ahead, pizza night is taking a dramatic turn - even though it brings back awful memories of a horrifying job.
