Argh! The Daring Bakers did it again!
*sigh*
Remember when last month the Daring Bakers made Lavash and I complained. I could’ve joined them. I actually made lavash from the same recipe that month.
Well guess what they baked this month!
See here!
Pizza.
From Peter Reinhart’s The Bread Baker’s Apprentice.
Yeah.
We all know what I have sitting in my freezer, right?
right?
In case you don’t know, let me refresh your memory:

And I still am not a Daring Baker.
*sob*

Pizza is the only food that I really put an effort into replicating after having to go gluten free. I finally settled on using pao de queijo as the crust – just rolled very thin. It makes a very good crust.

i like alternate pizza crusts
i’m trying to make a good whole wheat
i don’t think Reinhart is my favourite crust tho
When they are all done in my freezer, I’ll try Beranbaum

Yes – cheese puffs – But I add a bit of baking powder for leavening. Gives the crust a bit more substance. I par-bake the crust before adding any toppings – that ensures that the crust doesn’t get soggy. I like my crust a bit crispy on the outside and chewy in the center.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm….pizza.
Looks yummy. I don’t make my own pizza crust anymore…Lili has taken pizza night over, and she prefers French Bread pizza. I guess I need to get the appropriate pans for making baguettes…I don’t “free form” them very well, so we’ve been buying the baguettes from the grocery store.

@Chiska: Hmm now I have to figure out if cheese puffs…are just puffs filled with cheese?
@Mary: it was good fresh out of the oven
but the next day, although good, didn’t like the crust as much
i haven’t tried baguettes yet
tried ciabatta but didn’t come out quite right

aka – it’s the new laminate on the kitchen table :-)
certain people are supposed to bring out their coloured papers for different backgrounds, but I suspect that will have to wait a while.
