Thursday was pizza day

Another successful pair of pizzas, if I do say so myself. I topped these with fresh tomatoes (from the garden!), smoked chicken breast, bell peppers, corn, and grated comté cheese. We drank a red côtes-du-rhône along side.

Another tasty lunch.

 

The dough worked well, although it didn't show any signs of rising for the first hour or so, which made me a little anxious. But by the end of about four hours, the yeast had done its thing and the dough was ready to go. I formed the discs by hand again, and I like the result better than when I roll the dough with a pin; I think that squeezes out too much air. I have not attempted to toss the dough discs into the air. I'll leave that to the professionals.

  2. Looks delicious! I suspect that successful pizza tossing, like pancake tossing, requires a lot of practice.

  8. Friday was pizza night here. It didn't look (or, I'm sure taste) anything like yours!
