I'm surprised they use yeast and not sourdough as that would add more flavor. Sourdough is surprisingly easy to make and maintain btw. During these wfh days especially: Just mix 50grams of flour with 50 grams of water and leave in an open container for a couple of days, when you see bubbles, put half of is (50gr) together with 25gr of flour and 25gr of water, repeat. In a bread of 500 grams of meal and 250 ml of water, add 100 gr of your bubbling sourdough, kneed, let rise for 3 hours, and overnight into the fridge, easy peasy.

Btw, that standard kneeding hook of the Kitchen aid is really a pos: Get a better one asap.

This comment lessens the discussion; the one you replied to does not, even if it is not the best suggestion.


Sometime the discussion needs a reality check.


My surprise needs a reality check? I guess a surprise is always a reality check...


I doubt the pizza master will read HN, if he does, my surprise stands and I'd ask him... why not sourdough? ;)

Sourdough is the ancient way, that's why I mentioned it, also, it gives me great pleasure to use it for baking. Take my comment as you will, perhaps you can derive some value from it.
