    If you try it, you might find it worth the slight extra effort.
    I think you can freeze the dough too...I haven't tried that but it might make your hectic life easier.

    The "drug-like" ingredient. You'll get better at not messing the cheese up fast, but somethings just don't come that easy.
    Eventually you'll get the hang of the technique required to make that five star pizza. Keep on fighting that paste!
    I don't like really like oregano, I guess I should use small amounts.
    Are you saying to put it on the pizza or in the dough?
    To put it on the pizza. I've never heard anyone put it in the dough though. But hell, you might be onto something here. Something big.

    BTW, it's called "proofing".

    I've been into baking for a while now, it's especially challenging here at altitude and the very dry climate.
    I've been perfecting my French bread recipe/technique, this morning I'm making yeasted pancakes (made the "sponge" last night).

    Next Saturday I'm making pizza, so I've been looking into recipes for that.
    Commercial baker, yes. You can also use the term prooving with regards to the fermentation process.

    At home I love to muck around with pastry deserts. So far I've mastered Galaktoboureko and Baklava.

    Good luck on your pizza clocker. The dough for pizza is meant to be savory and you're meant to get the flavours from the sauce/toppings.

    It would take a special kind of crazy to like mucking with pastry on a commercial basis.

    things are quiet until hitler decides he'd like to invade russia
    so, he does
    the russians are like "OMG WTF D00DZ, STOP TKING"
    and the germans are still like "omg ph34r n00bz"
    the russians fall back, all the way to moscow
    and then they all begin h4xing, which brings on the russian winter
    the germans are like "wtf, h4x"

    Trying a new pizza dough recipe I found in Cook's Illustrated (Jan./Feb. 2011).
    It's a make ahead dough, so I'm going to assemble it tomorrow morning and bake it Saturday night.
    Should be interesting, I hope.

    Pics! Pics! Pics!

    I'm just about sick of pizza now. A flat mate managers an Eagle Boys store so he brings home pizzas, deserts and sides every night.

    Hardly must-see TV, is it.
