RE: PIZZA OVEN PERFECTION

Do it! DO IT!! I need to bounce pizza baking ideas off someone else. My husband has been watching youtube clips but the people that cook there are like Michelen chefs! We are barely qualified to watch Masterchef! Oh and croissants? Do you have an unfloppable recipe? LOVE croissants. I worked in a patissiere in my young(er) days and ate more than one hot out the oven with a cappucino when I arrived at 6 every morning. Yummy

Oh I would love to! I am thinking about making a video or two of my experiments in the pizza oven. Maybe you'd find it interesing! Sourdough pizzas, and maybe sourdough rusks! And then the croissants. I am not in any way shape or form a pastry chef. I have tried sourdough pastry, but that one is still in the works. But there is a hack....... and I will make a post about it 😉🥐 keep your eyes peeled! Oh, the suspense. No, I am joking. But the recipe or the hack recipe is in the works.

Please let me know! I don't know why I miss so many of your posts. A hack sounds like the perfect recipe

I will let you know! Hopefully, it works out. All fingers crossed. The thing with sourdough, as I am sure you are aware, is it takes so much time! So when one recipe flops you need to wait two or three days for the next batch.

Yup! And when you don't need to make anything then you have an absolute glut of "discard" which I hate to discard

Right! When I worked at the bakery a couple of years back we threw out so much discard. It was sad. And it was 100% rye, so all the rye discard got dumped. Rich people who owned the place. Could not talk sense in them and they wanted everything done in their way.

It is sad. There's so much that can be done with that discard. I like some of the American ideas. Although I don't know if that reaches to bakeries or just private homes. Imagine how much of a diversity of pastries that bakery could've had with the discard....

And they bought pre-baked factory-made croissants of pastries!! I am not even kidding. And the hollandaise sauce was also bought in boxes and not from real butter, but the price on the menu reflected real butter hollandaise. If people only knew! Luckily I did not sign a non-disclosure agreement 🤣
