Wood fired pizza

Pizza is one of those strange foods that i personally do not care for one iota! I have always had problems with soggy dough,to much sauce to much this and that. As a great philospopher from the 1800's once said "“The greatest challenge to any thinker is stating the problem in a way that will allow a solution” With that new knowledge, i set out for just that... a solution!

Olive oil focaccia

The last month i have been on a baking rage!! Being a full time engineering student means putting in alot of time for studying for calculus and physics. So, in order to keep me sane, i cook and bake.. and watch netflix! haha! One of the beauties of this bread, it makes a killer base for a salad and PIZZA! Shape it, bake it, decorate it, and then eat it!Thats how its done!

The basic boule

This is my first post of many to come. I have been baking bread for the last year and a half or so. However, it has not been an every day process, more of an off and on situation. i am a full time Mechanical Engineering student and a part time worker, STILL, my week is a 60 hour week if im lucky. So when i do get to bake, it is a frantic run around. BUT, i am determined to become more patient with it. So i am going to keep a journal of my bread baking journey.
