First cuke, grown from seed
(bright cucumber-y flavor)
Haley writes: Today I'm sharing a recipe from a new cookbook we are exploring, "Super Simple" by Tieghan Gerard. The first recipe I tried was her Three Cheese and Nectarine White Pizza. The dough portions make one pound of dough, which makes two pizzas. We like to make a pound of dough and save half in the fridge for another pizza a couple days later.
For the pizza dough, combine 2 teaspoons of active yeast with a 1/4 cup of warm water and 1 tablespoon of honey. Let sit for 5 - 10 minutes until frothy.
In a medium bowl combine 4 cups of all-purpose flour, yeast mixture, and 2 teaspoons of Kosher salt.
Add one 12 oz. room-temperature beer and 1 tablespoon olive oil.
Mix with a wooden spoon until combined. Add more flour by the tablespoon until dough is smooth but slightly sticky. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let rise at room temperature until doubled, 1-2 hours.
The
beer makes this dough so airy. This is the best pizza dough I have
tried. I used a light beer we had on hand, but any should work.
For the balsamic on top, I used this glaze from Trader Joe's.
The pizza was damned delicious. Phil and I both rated this recipe a 10/10, a rare accolade around here.
(Thanks, Haley. We needed this recipe.)

Poetry
Opportunity
The shackles rend, your hands
are free,
You need no longer humb'ly bow
Beneath the lash of tyranny;
Go shape the molten metal now.
You need no longer humb'ly bow
Beneath the lash of tyranny;
Go shape the molten metal now.
Behold! "The Door of
Hope," ajar,
And Freedom freely beckoning;
She bids you gaze upon a star,
And veer not from your reckoning!
And Freedom freely beckoning;
She bids you gaze upon a star,
And veer not from your reckoning!
