My thoughts:
I made this dough to locomote alongside a fennel-red onion-caper-rapini topped pizza I made for dinner the other day. It was hence good, I idea I'd share. It had a wonderful savory season that made it stand upward out from other pizza doughs I've made without beingness overpowering or fishy. It was really elastic in addition to slowly to locomote alongside every bit well. My married adult man liked that it was sturdy in addition to flexible plenty to flexure a piece inwards one-half to consume it. He's from NY where that is champaign really important.
