I accidentally had my scale set to the wrong increment when I measured my flour for the pizza crust. So I had to add more water until I got something usable.

I used it as an excuse to make a bonus pizza with smoked mozzarella, a tiny chunk of pepper jack and a jalapeno.

Base cost of pizza is $2.77 each. Toppings are practically free. Except that bell pepper. I bought it at 68¢ and have used it in three different meals. But today I saw that if I replaced it it was going to cost me $1.27. The price has doubled in two weeks.

Meanwhile red, yellow and orange bell peppers are “just” $1.54. and the three pack of those colors was just $2.40. A rare and infuriating case where green bell peppers are more expensive than the more time intensive riper versions.

    beautiful, absolutely fantastic! the ingredient ratios are about what i would choose, i respect the topping choices. could wish for about 2 minutes under the broiler for some serious maillard browning but other than that exemplary. bon appetit!

      They spent 5 minutes under the broiler and I made sure that there was bubbling all the way to the center for pulling them out.

      If you look at some of the crust you can see that it’s borderline charcoal. I couldn’t risk any more time under the broiler…
