Big Pizza Party - 5 November

[heliman]

Have rounded up about 11 friends for a big pizza bash on the 5 November and I will be using my "BigBoy" Thunderbird 20L Mixer and doing about 3.2 kg of dough. It will be pushing things to the limit as far as proofing goes - may have to revert back to the flat "under the bed" plastic containers. The recipe will include the standard 65% hydration and 40% (60% hydration) biga.

Menu will start with breadsticks - separately proofed pizza dough balls - squared and cut into four lengths and rolled out. Cooked for a few minutes then drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with dried Italian herbs. Then the old favourite - rosemary, rock salt and olive oil pizzas followed by a range of pizzas with various toppings. May do a sweet one to follow as a dessert.

It went very well thanks - rain stayed away and everyone was sufficiently fed so I guess it was successful. No pics unfortunately ... sorry was too busy cooking and everything was consumed.
