We upped our pizza game this weekend.
Learned that our gas oven goes up to almost 600. That plus a good pizza dough recipe translated into great results:

Pizza stone is still on the way. Curious how that’ll change things

Spinach is good for you. MFR is still asleep so I snuck out to the car where I was hiding the stuff. Assembled Easter baskets for MFR and The Princess. Just little ones with a solid chocolate bunny and some jelly beans.
And of course that fake grass. Sadly on one the jelly beans all got kind of lost in the grass.

Are you open to sharing that dough recipe?

Is that a biscuit I see atop that chili?
Cornbread!
Thank God! At first look, I thought it was mashed potatoes, and I thought, "Whatever...."

I've done that, too. Not really recommended but hey, it's edible.

@Optimistic absolutely - it’s Ken Forkish’s recipe from his book Flour Water Salt Yeast.
This particular recipe is his overnight dough.
Start with flour, use 70% water (by weight), 2% salt, 0.01% yeast.
So for 1000g flour (white - ideally 00), use 700g water, 20g salt, and 1/4 tsp yeast.
That’s a very small amount of yeast, so you have to let it sit at room temp overnight (12 hours).
Shape into balls and refrigerate. Forkish recommends gentle handling of the risen dough after the rise, so you don’t want all the gas to escape.
It’s also a high hydration dough, so kinda sticky and hard to handle.
Happy to clarify.

@xenon Great pizza! Enjoy the stone when it arrives. The key is obviously to heat it up so it can get the crust crispy. And obviously use (messy) corn meal for easy dough transfer!

@89th I’m looking forward to it. I guess I’ll have to eat a buncha pizza till I figure it out. For science.
