Trying Ischia starter and IDY in pizza dough.

Experimenting with the Ischia starter and IDY in a dough to see what happens.  This was the first experiment.

PJ's clone cookie made at home

Another clone Papa John's cookie (made in a disposable aluminum pizza pan)

Maybe I will get the hang of this in time.

Papa John's Clone Cookie

Peter's PJ's clone cookie dough mixed well, and the cookie baked well in the 10” dark cutter pan in the home oven. When using a pot holder there was a small problem in making a dent in the dough before the cookie dough was set. The problem was when using the dark cutter pan the cookie stuck to the bottom of the pan. It wasn't as bad as the cake aluminum pan that was tried before. A metal spatula could be used to take slices of the cookie out, but there is no way the cookie would budge without a spatula. The PJ clone cookie does taste very good.

Pizza Rat Delilah Eats Detroit Style Pizza at Market.

I was a pizza at market today making pizzas. The top of the hat can't be seen, but it was also a pizza. I even wore my pizza socks today. It was almost the end of market today, and a man came up to the stand and asked if we had any Detroit style pizza left. I said there is a dough in the proofer, but it would take about 15 minutes to bake. The man said he would be back because he loves Detroit style pizza. When he came back my helper and I saw he had a friend with him. The friend was a rat named Delilah. Delilah was very friendly and we petted her. Delilah was licking her chops waiting to get a taste of the pizza. When I gave the slice to the man Delilah wanted some Detroit style pizza too. The resulting video is of Delilah eating the Detroit style pizza. You never know what is going to happen at market.

As always at the end of the day a pizza woman has a lot of confessions to do. My friend, Sister Deb at market let me do the confessing

Pumpkin Dough Pizzas

The first pumpkin pizza was dressed with the Libby's pumpkin that had added plain hummus.  Heavy cream was used to thin the pumpkin and hummus so it could spread.  Then spinach was applied and the pizza was topped with the regular cheese that is used at market.  I had purchased fresh country bulk sausage at market and added fennel, crushed fresh garlic, added some oregano and salt and pepper.  That mixture was applied in small pieces not cooked.  I also had purchased some pecans at market in the morning and they were roasted in the deck oven, and then ground up.  The ground up roasted pecans were applied after the bake, along with a swirl of the good home made mozzarella stracciatella from La Bella Marketplace.  The mozzarella stracciatella was applied with a plastic pastry bag.  Those combinations of dressings were very good on the pumpkin crust. 

The second pumpkin pizza was dressed with the regular cheese and sauce that is used at market.  The sauce was applied in a spiral pattern.  Hormel Rosa Grande pepperoni was used.  Fresh basil was cut on the pumpkin pizza after the bake.  Those dressings were also very tasty.

For other interations of pumpkin pie pizza this is the thread on the pizza making forum where they were done. http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php?topic=39722.0

Thanks Peter (Pete-zza) for all of your help in converting and figuring out formulations!
