Day#1

The natural yeast leiven, and the soaker

 

Day #2- have all the final dough ingredients weighted and ready. Prep the ingredients for the mechanical mixing. Mix the final dough, with the goal of achieving a soft cohesive dough ball that is slightly tacky and just about passes the window pane test. Bulk fermentation until 1 1/2 times the volume is achieved.

La Parigina. Neapolitan stuffed pizza.

 

What is special about Parmigina? Pizza dough on the bottom puff pastry on top. 

Everything is on point. I just need to fill the canolii. I even got the kitchen back in order. Thank the Lord, for dishwashers!
