YvanI don't seem to do days of rest very well. Story of my life. 😅I can highly recommend getting some sort of stone for your oven if you make pizza at home. Nothing fancy, and not super thick. Make sure it has 5 minutes to reheat between pizzas. Helps a lot. It's also useful for breadmaking, and even seems to be good to add radiant heat above a tray of oven chips.We have a very normal, pretty shitty oven... but it has a slightky broken thermostat so can get up to like 280°C. Some day I really want to build a proper pizza oven. Or maybe just buy one of those neat little ones that are popular these days.<a href="https://toot.ale.gd/tags/pizza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#pizza</a> <a href="https://toot.ale.gd/tags/breadmaking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#breadmaking</a> <a href="https://toot.ale.gd/tags/baking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#baking</a> <a href="https://toot.ale.gd/tags/cooking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#cooking</a>

YvanMore pizza happened... various toppings including a sort of quattro formaggi with blue cheese, a red cheddar, and our own mozzarella, on a scatter of gruyère. A couple of others are "leftover bbq" pizzas, and another is a sort of spicy take on the margherita.The dough ideally needed to be a bit higher hydration, but it worked OK. I'm far from any sort of expert pizza maker!<a href="https://toot.ale.gd/tags/cheesemaking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#cheesemaking</a> <a href="https://toot.ale.gd/tags/breadmaking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#breadmaking</a> <a href="https://toot.ale.gd/tags/pizza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#pizza</a>

Yvanfirst pizza... Sorta a fancy margherita... our own fresh made mozzarella and pizza dough made with the cheese whey. With plenty of <a href="https://toot.ale.gd/tags/allotment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#allotment</a> basil, and the last of last year's passata — with added fresh garden herbs. Not our own fresh tomato yet alas, and also some red onion and gruyère from shops.Should have popped fresh basil on top.Traditionalists can address complaints to <code>/dev/null</code><a href="https://toot.ale.gd/tags/cheesemaking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#cheesemaking</a> <a href="https://toot.ale.gd/tags/breadmaking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#breadmaking</a> <a href="https://toot.ale.gd/tags/pizza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#pizza</a>

YvanBread has risen! Both made with the cheese whey from above.The poppyseeded loaf is 50% emmer flour and 50% strong white, both from Doves Farm. Hydration about 70%. Squeeze of honey.The portioned dough is 100% strong white from Holkham, and about 65% hydration... these are for pizza.<a href="https://toot.ale.gd/tags/cheesemaking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#cheesemaking</a> <a href="https://toot.ale.gd/tags/breadmaking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#breadmaking</a> <a href="https://toot.ale.gd/tags/pizza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#pizza</a>

YvanIt doesn't end there though, even after making two kinds of cheese the approx 2.5 litres of lightly salty whey left over is a rich and tasty liquid. So, into a couple of batches of bread dough with some of it... and the rest, about 1.5l, goes into the freezer as I reckon it will be an excellent base for a soup, something like a classic cauliflower soup, or maybe a leak & potato. Zero waste.The milk used is raw milk from what we call the <a href="https://toot.ale.gd/tags/autocow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#autocow</a> (a vending machine): <a href="https://theparlourbinham.co.uk/little-dairy-shop/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://theparlourbinham.co.uk/little-dairy-shop/</a>But I'm no raw milk evangelist, I do like the stuff, especially for cheesemaking... but I don't think it'll give anyone superpowers, and it can certainly be unsafe. You can make various cheese with pasteurised milk too.<a href="https://toot.ale.gd/tags/cheesemaking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#cheesemaking</a> <a href="https://toot.ale.gd/tags/breadmaking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#breadmaking</a>

Ross of OttawaAC is engaged. It had to happen sooner or later.My <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/breadmaking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#breadmaking</a> timing is rather poor. A batch just becoming ready to bake as outdoor temperatures spike. Not doing my usual long heat-up of the baking stone this time. Instead it will be a quick in-and-out using a convection/toaster oven. Hope that's energy efficient and doesn't affect the house too much.

Heather EvansGood morning on this very cold morning. Apparently it was -4c 🥶 overnight, I wouldn’t know, I was snug & warm. It was another foggy start but it’s already starting to burn off as the sun slowly breaks through. It’s currently just above zero & we’re heading to 14c. Very crispy outside a little while ago & a frozen birdbath to boot. The washing is done but only the heavy stuff like jeans & trackies will go on the line. All the other stuff will go on clothes horses in the sun - once it hits the garden. These things definitely weren’t thought about when the units were built! Just finished my breakfast so time for me to get a move on with the day. Bread making is going very slowly, I covered my sourdough starter to help keep it warm overnight & to aid the process but it’s taking a long time. It’s fine, it’s a much slower process when the weather is cold. Patience. Enjoy your <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Saturday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Saturday</a> everyone, stay warm out there. <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Weather" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Weather</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Winter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Winter</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/HomeJobs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HomeJobs</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/BreadMaking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BreadMaking</a>
