Today I used the pizza dough that I saved from Sunday to make pizza for dinner. This was a convenient experiment with what happens when you let the dough rest in the fridge for a couple days (or more, if you half forget about it like I did)... as it turned out, it was really yummy! Like I had heard, it gave the crust a bit of a sourdough taste, or as Lawson said just made it taste less "flour-y." It tasted a lot more like authentic artisan pizza. Lawson suggested I call this post "saving dough pays off" but I was not up for the pun.
We are drowning in tomatoes from our super-productive tomato plant in the garden, so for the first pizza we topped it with slices of tomato and shredded mozzarella, with chopped basil added after we baked it. No, I didn't use all these tomatoes on the pizza, so I gave up and peeled, seeded, diced and froze the rest for future use... I was getting anxious looking out at the plant and seeing even more ones ripening, so I thought it would be good to clear the decks. Here's the pizza before it went in the oven...
And getting eaten.
I also made another one with tomato sauce that we needed to use up, chopped peppers from the garden, and more mozzarella. Also delicious!
