another iteration of the mushroom pie. best so far. moisture control with more preheating of mushrooms, watery part removed from tomatoes. cheese: no mozzarella. fontina, taleggio, parmesan grana padano. thinly sliced garlic.

haven’t been happy with the mushroom pies. caramelized onions, garlic confit, and new cheese combo. usual parm but then fontina with a little mozzarella and tallegio. these seem able to balance the mushrooms.

decent pie. finally did right by the caramelized onions. tomatoes. peppers. thinly aliced garlic clove. a little truffle oil in the mix. should have put the peppers in the air fryer first…got distracted and forgot. using more finely ground semolina on the peel and that’s been nice, too.

pullman…did you bake that with the lid on? i have a pullman pan but never used it. half-hearted fantasies about japanese milk bread…typically don’t like white bread

this was great. milled 30% by hand on saturday. had that in a soaker for a day. built and proofed on sunday. immediately putting the freshly milled flour into a soaker seems tocapture more of the flavorful oils.

so yesterday i was making sourdough buckwheat banana bread and the pan flipped in my hands. i patched it together, covered the pan, and finished the bake. honestly, it’s the best tasting version of this i’ve made. i should aim for banana inside-out bread going forward!

Been working on pizza. Thin-crust sourdough w garlic confit. The confit was inspired by a visit to Rose Pizzeria in Berkeley 2 years ago.

not a disaster yet. btw thanks for all you do…your comment a few years ago about your ooni, prompted me to get one. my pizza was awful, so i decided i nneded to figure out dough first and baking bread became a major part of my life. in the last few months i came back to pizza, but not on my ooni.

i’ve done this twice making discard crumpets. another time i realized it before cooking the crumpets and rescued my starter from a part of the crumpet dough i hadn’t mixed well! I have a feeling it will happen again some day.
