This just in: shady businesses selling shady stuff are using free (for non-commercial use) software. Color me surprised.

This is on a bigass billboard next to I-35E (close in size to your run of the mill electronic billboard that you rent, not the size a private business would usually have), and it's owned by the company advertising HIDZZZZZZ. And much like HIDZ, that sign is loving blinding at night.

Just remind me.

So, no news on the hunt for my friend's killer. No suspects. Just a blurry picture of a car. But, I opened up to a lot of people who were worried and talking about it has helped tremendously. I'm still sad but I'm starting to shake the funk a bit and I'm finding things to be funny again which is a definite change from the last 8 days or so.

And it's a good thing because my girlfriend's father is no longer responding to his cancer treatments and I'm gonna have to be strong for her in the immediate future.

Greatest purchase ever, if you like baking:

My favorite dough is:

375ml water mixed with ~8g of dry yeast and 1/2 tbsp sugar, let sit for a couple of minutes. Mix 500g flour with 2/3rds tbsp salt. Add half of that to the water/yeast mixture and mix together gently into a lumpy paste, don't overwork it. Add a splash of olive oil. Let that mixture sit for half an hour with a cloth over it. Take the resulting yucky-looking stringy mousse and mix in the rest of the flour.

Once it's decently combined, start kneading like a madman (or turn on your fancy electric mixer) and knead the gently caress out of it. Seriously, like 15 minutes if kneading by hand. Lightly add flour as needed. The dough should end up smooth and elastic and not too sticky.

Coat the dough with olive oil, cover it and let it sit for at least an hour.

Remove cover, punch down dough, knead it, reshape into a ball, then coat with olive oil, cover and let rest again for at least 30 minutes.

Done, and it's the best pizza dough I've ever been able to make at home.

Seeing as you're doing easy mode fancy trying an experiment? When you've mixed the dough up, cover the bowl with cling film/saran wrap/that clingy plastic poo poo TIGHT and then load it into your fridge. After 24 hours, load it back into the mixer and chuck some more flour at it. Cover over again and load into your fridge. Do this a couple more times.

When you get that poo poo out, mixer and flour it one last time it won't need much and then make pizzas. It'll now be nicely flavoured as it'll have fermented in the fridge and you'll be able to get some stupid thin pizzas out of it. If you want you can now use that dough as a starter for more flavouriffic pizzas.

Also when you're cold rising it, it'll keep for about 2 weeks so pizza whenever you want for a bit of effort at the start. Filtered/spring water is a good start too and the only thing I measure (700ml because I make loads of dough), just hurl the rest in and mix.

3 days = good poo poo, seems to top out in flavour about 5 days in as the yeast can't do any more.

I've made this recipe at least a dozen times at this point and it's peak pizza for me. No kneading, it flattens itself into the pan, and you can go crazy with the toppings and still end up with a kickass fried crust.

This is my go to pizza recipe at home. I've worked in enough pizza restaurants to know I'm never going to make a ~~good~~ satisfactory thin crust pizza at home. This is the closest I've got to great pizza at home. Also, if you don't have a good cast iron pan, go ~~kill yourself~~ buy one now.

This. It's about a quarter of the price and tenfold the quality of takeaway, and it's piss easy.

Least fancy/most lazy option:

Make dough out of 700g water, 800g wheat flour (up to 25% of this can be whole grain), 16g salt and 7g yeast. Knead until you can't feel your arms, then store in fridge for somewhere between 24 and 72 hours. This will make eight pizzas, so scale according to hunger. Or make pizzas three days in a row.

Preheat oven to $TEMP_OF_SUN. If you have a pizza stone or a baking steel, use that.

Take dough out of fridge to let it get up to room temp, makes it more flexible and easier to work with.

Dust you work surface with durum flour (or any flour), gently stretch oil filter sized chunk of dough into something resembling a pizza. Remember, it's not ugly and misshapen, it's artisinal. Finish this on a flour dusted sheet of baking paper so it's easier to move into the oven.

Put on whatever pasta/pizza sauce your local grocery store sells in jar.

Put on toppings. I like sliced red onion and bell pepper. Cheese can be grated mozzarella or sliced fresh. Some meats, like salami and parma ham, give better results if they're put on right when the pizza comes out of the oven. Do keep moisture content in mind. Fresh mozzarella and lots of watery veggies can make things a bit soggy, but can also be somewhat mitigated with longer baking.

Bake for 8-10 minutes.

Bake the next one before you eat the first one, that way you won't burn your tongue.

If you wanna impress some ladiez, put on fresh basil. If no ladiez are present just crack open a cold one. Or fuckit, do both regardless of company.

Stand back and bask in the applause and offers of sexual favours.

Here's a random one I made.

Seriously, by the time you've done this a handful of times, you'll surpass chain store pizza. Easily. From here, the sky's the limit. Home made sauce, sourdough, different cheeses...

I'm going to try this, but first I have to a convert from moon units, and b) either get a scale or convert to volume. I think my wife has a dough hook for here KitchenAid, so I dn't need to knead (heh.)
