(Don’t) Take Me Out

Ciaran,

I don’t know how long dough will last. I only keep it frozen for a couple of months at most, since we do pizza so often at home. I put this one into a water-bath to defrost. That took about an hour. It didn’t rise much, but then again, I had proofed it prior to freezing. I don’t know whether that’s the “right” way or not.

I guess i should just stop complaining about how terrible the pizza is here and settle down to make my own! that looks absolutely scrumptious…and relatively fast if one has wisely cached the dough in the freezer like you guys did.

Dietsch,

Whenever I make dough for freezing, I let it rise once first, then punch it down and wrap it up. I then let it thaw (I haven’t used a water bath method), which usually does mean it will rise a second time.

Also–have you guys tried Cabot’s huntsman cheddar? It is phenomenal in chili.

I love pizzas with a salad on top! I have recently begun to make pizzas on Saturday evenings and I might use caramelized onions this weekend because that sounds delicious.

Thanks…for the confidence to freeze my pizza dough – fresh from the school of hardknocks on pizza making! Thanks
