Last night I learned that if you make a double batch of pizza dough but then forget and leave the second half in the bottom of the meat drawer for a few days, it is absolutely still "usable." However, the extremely long rise/fermentation will do a couple of things-- it will make the dough smell disconcertingly beery, and it will super-upsize the gluten production. It was REALLY hard to stretch out, and ended up being more of a pizza-flavored foccacia than an actual pizza. Still tasty, though.A blog where I learn something new every day (or at least several times a week), and pass the savings on to you!
