How's the Zo experience going? Speaking of pizza have you made up any pizza dough?
By now you are now probably trying to figure out how you and Feb are going to eat all that bread :-) I make croutons some.
BTW you can get some good half size loaf recipes (2 cup) off the Zo website....
I've baked one loaf in the Zo and used it twice to mix dough. Sometimes I freeze the leftover bread, sometimes the wild life gets it. I haven't done the pizza dough in it yet, but that's coming up shortly. I have a box of the King Arthur pizza dough mix. I'm looking forward to trying the Julia Child French Bread recipe in it -- not to bake of course, but for the process.
I'd like to hear how your French bread turned out.
I have not used the KA Pizza flour yet. I use the regular KA bread flour and add 1 tsp of gluten per cup. That seems to do the trick & its cheaper.
I think you'll like the pizza. Its gotten good "neighborhood" reviews for the crust.
I rarely follow the recipes and add up to 50% whole wheat to the regular loaves.
You can substitute molasses or honey for the sugar along with additives like whole grains, flax seeds, olive oil for butter and the like. The trick is getting the correct "feel" of the dough during the knead cycle. I add either flour or water to get it right...in SMALL increments. BTW gluten in the regular flour will make the bread last longer too.
We tried Papa Bello's recently and found the pizza very greasy, just floating all over the top. And the crust was sort of thin. We like a very thick puffy, chewy crust. It will take an awful lot to have us try there again.
Just wish Domino's would deliver in Dadeville and that they'd get rid of the "new" garlic crust recipe. Ugh! We order it without that.
That said, our home made pizza is clearly still the very best.
