This morning’s sourdough
I’ve been getting sloppy lately and not getting the results I wanted, so went back to my notebook and did everything properly. This is why I keep notes!

Pizza for 5 tomorrow
4 Neapolitan doughs
2 sourdough al teglio doughs, one of which will be split
It’ll either be too much or not enough, you never can tell

The crumb
Pretty good for 100% whole wheat. I expected it to be denser but this seems pretty nicely fermented and structured

I have no idea how this will turn out, I’m literally just doing a standard white loaf recipe I use, only with only whole wheat flour.

Tried a 50% whole wheat sourdough today, just as an experiment. I was prepared for it to get much less of a rise so this was a pleasant surprise. Tastes really good. Prepping a 100% whole wheat loaf for tomorrow

Converted all my pizza recipes to sourdough since it is sourdough bread season anyway. These are some Bonci-style squares with pepperoni and scracciatella (plus a bunch of garnishes), baked in a Lloyd pan at 380c

a little Good Thing: my wife accidentally smashed our old Hario Switch (the best Switch) and i ordered a new one immediately. it's THAT good, the simplest and best coffee Thing i've ever owned. It combines a regular drip filter with a French press brewing mechanism for all kinds of possibilities

Was this a Douglas Adams gag…? A hifi amp so sophisticated that it only had one volume knob. Your only option was how loud you wanted your godlike sound
(the other is just for selecting inputs so not a qualitative thing, I am arbitrarily declaring)

Workin’ on my naan again
There is this insuperable problem that the bottom tastes like pizza ‘cause it is baked in a pizza oven, not a tandoor. That’s not a terrible thing but it’s not quite right either.

Working on my butter chicken again. If you’re going to add food coloring (and you should), add it to the yoghurt marinade so the chicken gets some color too

Scrocchiarella, or Roman dough. Super thin and crispy, and easily the most slept-on pizza style I’ve tried (outside Italy anyway). It’s as good as ANY pizza. Plus it’s light enough that you can crush two of them solo

I made carbonara pizza, something I’ve been dreaming of for literal decades. Finally figured out how I want to do it
