Notes
- Large bubbles. Either over-proofed or shaping went wrong.
- A lot to learn re. making pizza. Dough was inconsistent, stuck to the pizza peel.
- Get a pizza stone. Oven a mess afterwards as I baked in the lid of a pot.
- Made pizza with the dough just after bench rest.
- Bread is “mysterious” as I don't know what white flour I used. From an unmarked Hartog bakery bag.
