Leftover dough

Re: Leftover dough

That is fine looking food for sure. I have found that the dough left in the fridge after the first rise for 7 or more days was so much better than the dough that only matured for a day. I will have to try the flat bread though. It sounds good Dave and the pizza looks great Tzcar.

Re: Leftover dough

G'day Tscar
You make the most photogenic pizza I've come across. I shouldn't have read this just before my evening meal.
Here's an interesting one. I found a 800gm pizza dough ball frozen in time in the back of the freezer. How long had it been there.. I didn't have the faintest. 800 gm rang alarm bells in my head as I only put them away in pizza size lumps?
Anyway I put it out to defrost and the dough showed a bit of life in the form of a few bubbles of dough. It smelt alright so I set about bringing it back to life. It was a sticky process but I incorporated some sugar milk and flour into the patient and let it recover. It doubled in size so it was definitely smelling sweet, so I went ahead and cooked it off as nan bread.
After my lamb was cooked on the Tuscan grill I pushed the coals and grill to one side and added a few sticks to get the heat from the dome. I cut that ball of dough to 8 small balls and teased out some flat bread. In the lower heat I only cooked it to a light brown puffy stage.
The left over lamb was converted to a lamb curry and those nan breads were great. Not like pizza bread at all but light and fluffy. I've made flat bread before at pizza temps and its blown up like a ballon. These were more bread like soft and the sugar was still there . Definitely a big hit with the family, but unfortunately how do you reproduce that same thing again
