So yesterday was Pizza Friday. Every friday in our house is Pizza Friday. It is everyone's favourite food. If you come over for dinner on a friday, we will feed you pizza.
Anyways... I needed to make dough. I brought up the recipe on the computer and proceeded to double it. Fairly simple math. Partway through I think... "Gee, I don't remember ever needing 1 tablespoon of salt for this recipe." I check my math. One-and-a-half teaspoons times two definitely makes three. And there are three teaspoons in a tablespoon.... wait a minute... "Why am I doubling this recipe?!?!" What you need to know is that the recipe as-is makes two thin crust pizzas. We only eat one so I freeze half the dough and then I only need to make pizza dough every other week. So here I am doubling a recipe that I've never doubled before, and now it will make four thin crust pizzas. Well, I wonder if dough is supposed to be in the freezer for a month, and what if over Christmas we don't have a pizza friday... will the dough get wasted? My solution - divide the dough into three pizzas. It will all hopefully get used this month and we will have slightly thicker crust. But then I had another idea! Instead of having thicker crust, I would roll the dough out into a larger circle and make stuffed crust. It was so yummy!
Math is fun. And delicious.
