Day 65: Pizza Dough

My mom wanted to make some pizza and she asked if I would make some dough, so of course I had to make it. This is just like when she wanted to make kraut runza's and I just used that as my bread of the day. There is a pizza dough recipe in the bread book, but it's pretty crazy and makes a bunch of pizza doughs. This dough came together very quickly and effectively. I didn't mess it up like the other doughs (which makes me believe that I just don't know how to make rye bread) so that was a giant relief. I used the same yeast I used in all the rye breads so that rules out the idea that the yeast has been dead. I'm still not sure what the deal was, but I'm moving on. This dough turned out just like the one you can buy from the store, and it only took about an hour total to make.

We made two kinds of pizza, but of course I only took photos of the vegetarian one that I made. I can't wait until the summer when we can bust out our pizza stone for the grill and make some legit pizza. I'm going to back hard on the rye breads for the next few days while we still have some. I have a ton of rye sour that I don't think I'll use, so I may have to save that and mix it in with the actual sour dough starters once I get to those.
