Pizza Friday almost didn't happen this week.
I always buy my dough from the same Italian bakery. Usually I buy enough to last me the entire month so I'm not driving out there every week. This week was the week I ran out, but when I went to the bakery they didn't have any dough in their refrigerator or freezer. When I asked the woman if they had any pizza dough she told me someone had come in and bought 15 balls of dough, which cleaned them out. Luckily there is a pizza parlor next door so I went in there and bought some dough for my bacon and garlic pizza:
The crust was noticably different with this dough. It tasted more like pizza you'd get out in a restaurant, chewier and more substantial. It was quite good.
You know what? The pizza dough I buy from my local Italian grocer is also always un-pizza-like. Great idea just buying it from a pizza parlor!
ReplyDeleteI went back to the Italian bakery this week and bought five balls of dough. I'm interested to see how this week's pizza differs from last week's. If it really is a huge different I think I might have to start buying dough only from a pizza parlor.
