Learning Knowledge to Make Pizza: working with my garden, flowers, and pizza dough...6/24/2011

Welcome...

There are so many variables that go into making a PIZZA. The hydration of the dough, flour, yeast and many more.. Amounts of any kind of yeast in a pizza can make a big difference. Most recipes posted on the web, use too much yeast in their recipes. What I have found out so far, is either bulk fermenting the dough or cold fermenting the dough will give a better flavor in the crust. I am still experimenting to find different flavors in the crust of pies. In my opinion pizza is all about the best flavor you can achieve in a crust. I still am on the journey about flavors in the crust. Even differences in temperatures in you home or times of the year can influence how much yeast to use. If you want a pizza to develop flavors in the crust, there are many ways to go about achieving this.

working with my garden, flowers, and pizza dough...6/24/2011

I have been working on my garden, flowers, washing outside windows, general outside work and pizza dough or experiments for the last few days. At least the garden part is fun and so is the pizza learning.

My tomato plants are really growing fast and now some of them are as tall as I am. Some of my grape and small yellow tomatoes are ready to be eaten. I noticed another kind of insect on my tomatoes today and went about killing it so it doesn't do more damage. I don't know since we received so much rain in our area this year, if this is why the bug seem more plentiful or not.

I have been working on my preferment Lehmann dough, especially the preferment part, because I was having problems with stretching my dough balls out some weeks. I am also doing some more experiments with the EL-7 product. It is always interesting to me to know what different things do to dough.

Yesterday was kinda a sad day for me. The 8 kittens we have taking care of since they were small were taken to the Humane League so maybe they will be adopted. My daughter and I had them for about 12 weeks. We really became attached to them and knew each kittens personality. We had kept them in my one bathroom, because the dogs sure weren't too friendly with them and of course we couldn't keep 8 cats. I will post the pictures of all the kittens at a later date, because it even makes me sad to look at the pictures right now. At least our local Humane League this week was giving cat and kitten free for adoption this week. When we went there, so many people wanted the kittens, but they will have to be checked by a vet, and then will be able to be adopted. We tried to find them homes, but weren't successful. I know I will always wonder what happened to the kittens. They were a lot of work, but they also were so cute.

I took one picture today of our local sweet corn. It is now ready and so sweet and delicious. I also bought some small red beets and small red potatoes from the Amish people. I also took a picture of one sign near the Amish farm. I have to laugh at some of the signs in our area.
