TMO's Pizza Port

[JDee]

Never even thought to take pics. Glad I didn't, it was nothing to be proud of, really a serious fail. But I learned from it and that's what counts. I have a chunk frozen, I could take a pic of that, or not.....the crust was fine though, about the only part that was really decent. Well, the cheese too...

Welp, I had another shot at pie and decided to throw everything including the kitchen sink on it

That sink will surely add to the cooking tyme.....JDee, at least you're on the road to becoming a pizza master like Grant............

Been about 2 1/2 weeks since the last pies. From tonight:






More sourdough bread:

Done. That's all that's left. Wifey was out for girls night. Pie was all mine.
I thought the jet was fired up?

I thought the jet was fired up?

I had to shut it down for a while...the neighbors were complaining.....

As always, great looking homemade pies.

Grant. No picture....Did not happen. I am referring to your latest (Alleged) pizza's, not your illness. We will take you word on that.

Finally getting around to vacation pics and I found these two pizza nights from just before:

And doing a little test to see if well proofed dough can be re-frozen and thaw okay. Haven't tried that yet and might make the whole process more efficient.

I wouldn't mind having a slice of that watermelon pie on a hot summer day!..I'll get a pepperoni pie later after the day cools down.

 

[Grant 302]

ban? I'd eat that. Hot enough here.

 

[302BOB]

Hot enough here.

Grant, What's the temps out in Cali?Back here, norm is low 60's and we're just barely making it...all tho the grass is growing like wild fire with all the rain we've had.How is this connected to pizza????...Gotta be that watermelon pie............

 

[Grant 302]

Back in the upper '60s today. Was hotter over the weekend.

 

[302BOB]

Always pizza weather for sure...

 

[Grant 302]

More pizzas...




Super-thin crust...too thin and floppy.


Broke the rivet on the pizza cutter last week and forgot to get a new one.

More sourdough...

Nice pattern on the bread crust, how did you do that?

 

[Grant 302]

I used a swiss army knife that I ground/polished to a 15º edge for this scoring. I normally use a serrated/hooked baker's knife for the large 'half-moon' pattern. But the decision to do something 'fancy' was due to prodding from my baby sis who was criticizing my boring scoring.

This scoring pattern is shallow slits in the skin of the dough made just prior to baking. Expansion or 'spring' of the dough during baking opens up the slits to the pattern you see.
