Yeah for more bread baking (please sense sarcasm)….
I think this dough may have gone into favorite dough category because it freezes well and is ready to go within a couple hours after defrosting. None of this defrost, bring it to room temperature, and now do a rain dance while clucking like a chicken for 14 billion hours while hoping it rises. Perfect for us lazy people who love fresh crunchy bread at dinner but have lives.
Another selling point about this dough is that it is versatile. You want focaccia it has your back, you want a baguette bust out your couche, you want a roll form away, you want pizza dress like Mario or Luigi and toss the dough in the air, and the list goes on.
I formed one of them into a pizza because I am burnt on loafs, bread sticks, and baguettes. For those who are curious I did a simple margherita pizza with San Marzano tomatoes, basil, and mozzarella. I still have three more Ziploc bags of dough in the freezer and I must know what is everyone’s favorite pizza toppings (yes this is a shameless attempt to pilfer ideas)?
Hmm….anything else I can ramble about today?? Nope I got nothing so pizza time!

We do an Indian Chicken pizza that we really like http://agoodappetite.blogspot.com/2009/04/indian-pizza.html
though I’m also a big fan of the sauceless pasta with cheese, onions & rosemary
Do you have ANY idea what I’d pay to see you do a rain dance while clucking like a chicken, and then bust out your coochie, all while dressed like Mario or Luigi?
That pizza crust looks great! I have a lot of favorite pizza toppings. One favorite is roasted garlic, eggplant, and cherry tomatoes (all roasted) with fresh mozzarella.
Rain Dance while dressed as Mario complete with mustache. That would be something. My fave pizza has always been Roasted Red Peppers, Olives and Sun Dried Tomatoes and light on the mozzarella.
yeah, what Elle said!!! LOL
LOL, what a funny post. How many more bread baking things to come? Pizza is always a good idea!
I can’t wait to try this one and will be using it for pizza. I love pesto, ham, asparagus & gruyère cheese on a pizza.
Jeff,
I am concerned about your attitude, we are only about half way. Will you be able to make it???
i definitely like how versatile this dough is! it sounds yummy
Yay for versatile dough!
We make pizza every weekend for the boys. A great way to use up leftovers too.
wow you can cook as well came over from the food blogger listserv, love your blog Rebecca
I will try to freeze the dough as you recommended…your pizza looks delicious, like it simple!
Too funny with the rain dancing! I like prosciutto and black truffle oil and olives on my pizza.
I love the idea that you can freeze this and use it for various things! Im really trying to get into making bread–Im making head way! Do you freeze this before letting it rise the second time?
My fave pizza topping is whatever is on the pizza I’m eating at the moment. I heart pizza. Indian-style is high on my list. So are fruit/herb toppings. Cheese—I like haloumi and tarragon. But the classic margherita also rocks my world. I’m having a pizza party next weekend and I can’t wait to see the pizzas we make.
That pizza looks great! I love easy breads too, so that’s good that you can freeze it and then make it later.
