Over-fermented dough that’s been refrigerated makes really good pizza or flatbreads. Actually, I make a 2# batch of dough every couple of weeks and leave it in the fridge in a plastic container for whenever I want a quick flatbread or pizza. It starts tasting like sourdough towards the end & is actually quite yummy. If you let it go three weeks, that’s too long, but 2 weeks is ok. It will begin to tear easily though at this age so how I deal with it for pizzas or flatlbread is that I coat the piece I will be using in flour or masa harina, roll it out to the desired shape,, then recoat it with flour so it won’t stick to itself and fold it in fourths to transfer it to the griddle/pan. Once it’s on the pan, I unfold it to full size again.

lol…man, I was excited for a new recipe to try! I did find a deep dish recipe/pizza hut copy cat that is pretty good, but didn’t look *that* good. I guess I know why! lol

I must say the muffins turned out beautiful, so moist and delicious. I ended up using 1/2 and 1/2 with the whole wheat and unbleached flour. I was afraid to use all whole wheat the first time. I will always make my “pumpkin” muffins like this – starting with fresh sweet potatoes! None I have ever made or bought stand up to these!

Is that pizza made from the grilled pizza recipe you posted or another one? The crust looks great.

Seriously, some people are ridiculous! Kristen, your attitude, even in the face of such horrible attitudes is really inspiring to me.

I didn’t do so well this week. I forgot about the potatoes and they got seriously scary and mushy.
I also tossed a bag of pretzels rods-WalMart brand they were entirely too salty and made the digusting and I couldn’t eat them.

I am proud to say I didn’t have food waste this week. I also cleaned out my cabinets, and got rid of some items we won’t use. (Items had wheat or gluten in them and have been sitting in the cabinet for far too long.) I won’t call it waste though cause we gave it to “Stamp Out Hunger” with the post office this morning.

No, dear new reader. I post my food waste on my blog so that I will be motivated and accountable in my fight to reduce my waste.
