Canine Recovery Pizzas

Oven

I've been stuck at home with a dog recovering from knee surgery, so I decided to "fire" up my indoor oven. Threw together some same day naturally leavened dough (64% HR, 100% BF - except levain was 100% WW, 3% salt). Made a sauce using fresh cherry tomatoes, a little salt, a little dried oregano, and a little garlic - turned out a little more orange than I would have liked (guessing I mixed in a bit of air when stick blended).
 

Time got away from me, so the dough ended up over proofing. That said, the pizzas still tasted good. My wife even had some leftovers the next day!

I’ve got a par baked crust ready to top and bake for dinner tonight. I need to make a fresh sauce while the tomatoes are so beautiful! 

Those look very tasty. Nice oven. Hope your pooch heals quickly. 🙏

She is recovering well, but it is a long process.

Those look tasty.

Either passing the blended sauce through a sieve or cooking it can somewhat reverse that aerated orange effect of the tomato sauce.

Hope the doggy gets well soon!

That is very helpful to know!. I also think the cherry tomatoes I used were had a bit of an orange hue to them.

How do you like the Volt?  Is it the first or second generation?  I have an outdoor Ooni which I like but haven’t used in a while.

Hope your puppy is doing better.

Best,

Ian
