When you're ready to bake bread again, you might enjoy my super popular (and simple!) recipe for Farmhouse White, which includes detailed instructions for beginners: <br /><a href="http://www.farmgirlfare.com/2011/01/farmhouse-white-easy-basic-white.html" rel="nofollow"><b>http://www.farmgirlfare.com/2011/01/farmhouse-white-easy-basic-white.html</b></a>Farmgirl Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04851855517852917202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-76328666140795465362013-10-14T22:52:08.482-05:002013-10-14T22:52:08.482-05:00Hi Farmgirl,
I stumbled upon your pizza dough reci...Hi Farmgirl,<br />I stumbled upon your pizza dough recipe a couple days ago while trying to figure out what went wrong with my very first loaf of bread..."Basic White Bread" from thekitchn.com. Tonight I made a homemade pizza using your dough recipe, but halved it since I only have one pizza pan and no baking stone. It came out fabulous! Nice n soft and chewy...just the way my family and I like it. ....and it didn't matter that I flubbed it up some. I put in a little too much water and then added a little more flour to compensate.<br />No more hand-topped Tombstone frozen pizza (used them as a base to create my own "gourmet style" pizzas). Only reason I did that is I had no idea it was so easy to just make my own dough. For toppings I made the caramelized onions but this time in a cast iron skillet. I finally had success! All attempts in the past have been in stainless steel, never could get them to caramelize properly. Anyways, I gave it a "Texican" twist with refried beans...open 2 cans no salt added pinto beans (dad is on a salt restricted diet). Fry the unmashed beans in the cast iron skillet to pick up the onion flavor. Add a roughly rounded teaspoon of chili powder (I used chili 9000 from Penzey's Spices), a pinch of both onion and garlic powder (also from Penzey's). After about 3 minutes (didn't time it) I carefully mashed the beans while still in the skillet and continue heating for another couple minutes. Add bean juice to make the mixture easily spreadable but not too wet. Remove from skillet and then spread on dough before adding the caramelized onions.<br />...and topped with cheese...unfortunately I don't think I used enough! LOL Anyways...I will definitely be making your pizza dough again, maybe with whole wheat flour next time. :)<br />Cheers from Texas!<br />-AnchoretAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12765494093822666566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-87568521243367491722013-09-11T08:24:48.388-05:002013-09-11T08:24:48.388-05:00Hi Shazley,

I'm so glad you're enjoying my ...Hi Shayna,<br />I'm so glad you're enjoying my recipes! I've never had good luck freezing pizza dough, though some people swear by it. By the time I've waited for the dough to defrost (which can take a couple of hours), I could have just made it from scratch right then, and my frozen dough never comes out as nice as fresh.<br /><br />The same goes with bread dough - I have much better luck baking two or three loaves and freezing the baked bread rather than dealing with frozen dough. :)<br /><br />That said, if you want to try freezing your pizza dough, I would let it rise for about 60 to 90 minutes and then freeze it - wrapped tightly in plastic and then put in a zipper bag.<br /><br />Defrost at room temperature or you could try defrosting it overnight in the fridge. A lot of the refrigerated 'fresh' pizza dough sold in stores was originally frozen.Farmgirl Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04851855517852917202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-59434130676645432922013-05-24T08:25:26.361-05:002013-05-24T08:25:26.361-05:00Hi there!

I tried it and its delicious. My kids love it. so now im not aloud to order pizza and they ask me to make it instead. I love it because my son loves to help me make the sauce.

His instructions are easy to follow and I like the flavor of the starter. <br /><br />That said, there are several kinds of sourdough starter and several ways to make them, and there are lots of instructions available online. You could try doing a google search and see which ones appeal to you.

I was disappointed when only one stem survived my transplanting, but I still have one healthly stem! I was wondering what I could do with it. I rub the stem and it's not as fragrant as sweet basil. So I googled "purple basil" and chose your url. Well I am so excited after only 20 minutes on your site. Thank you for this incredible site.

It's easy and the kneading is a great opportunity to relieve stress from sitting at the desk all day! Just the other day I made two batches of this dough, split it into eight (sort of) equal balls, wrapped them in plastic and then shoved two at a time into pint-sized freezer safe mason jars, and THEN put them in the freezer. Today, the craving for pizza struck...so at about 1pm, I pulled one jar out, placed each ball in a floured bowl (covered it with plastic wrap and dusted the ball before covering), and stuck them in my oven with the light on to rise. When I came home from work, they were beautifully doubled, and ready to bake! While my pizza stone pre-heated we got the pizzas and the toppings ready, and my husband and I enjoyed home-made pizza, followed with home-made white chocolate raspberry raw milk ice cream....can't beat that. It's so easy. You have to try it!Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16198919085241875306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-23662179318259151672010-08-28T19:24:22.263-05:002010-08-28T19:24:22.263-05:00Wow.

But this recipe is awesome every time. Thank YOU!<br /><br />This time I made the same topping--carmelized onions. I really didn't think I would like it--thought it would be too dry without a sauce on it. I did add a few strained home canned tomatoes with a little oregano and basil and some crumbled bacon, but the main topping was the onions and garlic. Heavenly! Can't believe how good this is.<br /><br />Like all of your recipes, this one is definitely a keeper. <br /><br />Thank you for a GREAT blog.
