Pizza night!
And this lazy gal finally made the dough from scratch (instead of using the ready discs that are easily available).
Used Roberta’s recipe for the dough but with AP instead of 00 (can’t bring myself to pay the 10x premium here for 00 even though it’s available). Started 3 days ago, balled up and left in the fridge to age.
I was very disorganized tonight in terms of prep and toppings because we had mom’s physiotherapist and her doctor visit at exactly the same time before dinner because one came late and the other early, so then I entertained one while the other visited with her and sis. (Worth it, though, to have her pepped up and encouraged like only a good doctor can do.)
Fun experiment tonight was to try the pan-fried method for the crust (I saw it mentioned somewhere as a Bittman method, but maybe it’s more common like no knead dough).
Worked like an absolute charm, and so much quicker (and more energy efficient for my current location) than the oven! I’m definitely going to go this route again.
Pie 1: Tomato sauce, marinated red onions, artichokes, olives, cheese (our beloved Amul tonight because no one remembered to order mozzarella)
Pie 2: Pesto, Robiola
Pie 3: Tomato sauce, marinated red onions, prosciutto on half, same as #1 on the other half
Pie 4: Inverted potato, onion, rosemary, cheese (which I added by mistake in my rush so mom could have a taste before she got full)
