So I am starting to make the pizza dough tonight. Its called the sponge for everyone that bakes bread all the time you will know what that is for those of you that have no idea in the world what a sponge is besides the one you clean with let me explain.
A bread sponge is when you mix warm water yeast and flour together and leave it from anywhere to 30 minutes to 8 hours to days to ferment to increase flavoring.
That is what I am doing with the pizza dough. I got the recipe from my moms old cooking book Baking with Julia. LOVE that baking book, ever since I was little I would look at the pictures and wish I could try all the beautiful pastries and breads, and now I am!
so its going to ferment from anywhere to 9-10 hours then Im going to add the rest of the flour and other ingredients in, then let it rise for 2-3 hours until doubled. CAN NOT WAIT! I can only hope it turns out as good as my moms pizza dough, thats why Im letting it ferment for so long so it can get really flavorful.
