I made up some Pizza Dough for tomorrow night’s Pizza. I did a bulk rise this morning and OH BOY – did it rise. I’ve never seen my yeast be so energetic. I didn’t do anything different – same recipe – just happy yeast, I guess??


This is my two pizza dough recipe, one for immediate use and one gets frozen for a later date.

Additionally, I’ll let the dough cold rise in the fridge for 24 hours.

Warmer kitchen temps?

That is probably the answer.

I’m pretty consistent with checking my water temperature with an instant read thermometer.

No more than 103-104(F)…

Made another Detroit pie last night. Same recipe, but I aggressively cheesed near the edges and hoo boy was it good. I still can’t believe I never tried this type of pizza until this year. Making it at home is so satisfying and not much more effort than the regular pizza dough we usually make.

As a “hook” and if it isn’t cost prohibitive – maybe serve those sliced pepperonis with chopsticks?? Possibly dipping sauces?? Ranch??

Dinner tonight was pizza with leftover chopped baked potato (tossed with olive oil, dried minced rosemary, and s/p), chopped leftover asparagus, and sautéed pancetta and caramelized onion from the freezer, with a white sauce of President garlic-herb cheese sauce, augmented with additional dried herbs and heavy cream.

Topped with grated mozzarella and Parm-Reg and baked on a preheated stone at 450° for about 12-13 minutes. Added some fresh basil after it came out of the oven.
