Â* Got another batch of pizza sauce on the stove simmering down . I used
fresh-frozen homegrown tomatoes this time instead of bottled , and it's beginning to smell a lot like pizza in the house . I'm kind of in a quandary though , I think my dough recipe is too small for the new mixer - unless I make a double batch . We sure can't eat 2 pizzas tonight , we seldom even finish one (15") pie for dinner . So what to do with the extra dough ? I've read (either here or at alt.bread.recipes) a couple of ways to preserve it for another pie later - either bag/tag/freeze after punching down from the first rise , or form the crust after the 2nd proofing and freeze the crust ready-to-top . I'm leaning towards the first option because of freezer space and the fragility of the ready-to-top crust ... The question becomes how do I thaw it out and prepare it for use ? Just put it out on the counter (out of Max's reach , that dog loves bread) and let it sit until it's warm and doubled in volume ? If stored formed , does it need to thaw before topping and baking ? Or do I just need to add a couple of minutes to the bake time ? I *always* use my pizza stone , putting the pie in with frozen crust would save using a piece of parchment under it ... Â* Funny anecdote , when Max was still a puppy - about 6 or 7 months old- I left 2 loaves of panned dough out to rise , assuming he couldn't reach it . His love of bread was already known by then . I hear a thump from the kitchen , go to see what's up . There's only one pan of dough now ... and Max lets out a big ol' burp . That dog had eaten a full pound of dough , just snarfed it right down . And didn't even have the decency to have a tummy-ache from it ! He did a day later pass some undigested dough , but I was so sure he'd be distressed from the dough still rising that I was a little disappointed . He's 17 months old now and we always put anything bread/baking related well up out of his reach .. We love him , but not quite that much ! Â* -- Â* Snag |

GRANULATED GARLIC ? Heresy , heresy I say ! OK , OK , I use it in some stuff , but when cooking something like this it's as much fresh stuff as possible . Those tomatoes I used were grown completely without chemicals . Not even fertilizer . Which reminds me , it's time to plant some more garlic . -- Snag Ain't no dollar sign on peace of mind - Zac Brown |

Pizza sauce shouldn't be cooked more than minimally if at all... what do you think happens to tomatoes in a 500ºF oven, they cook more than enough. Cooked tomato sauce will caramelize even further in a hot oven and taste awful on pizza, and on ****ghetti too... caramelized tomatoes look awful too, WTF wants brown tomato sauce what looks like diarreah? |
