Late Night Pizza

I made the Master Recipe from Artisan Bread in Five Minutes A Day on Sunday, and it's been proofing in a bowl in the fridge since then.  I put the grill pan on high, turned the broiler on high, and rolled out a mini-pie for myself.  I grilled both sides of the dough, slathered on some homemade tomato sauce (which is one of those things that will never taste better from a jar), tossed on fresh mozz, and then let it finish in the broiler for a minute.

Took about the same time as your average frozen tv dinner.  And much fucking faster than making a loaf of bread from a book that is the ultimate lie.

This has been posted in Milkshake Busters too.

p.s. You know there is a specific line in my lease about NOT using knives directly on the counters?  Because there is.

One of my recent cookbook purchases was the following:

Five minutes a day is kind of a lie though.  And by "kind of a lie," I mean a straight up lie.  You've got to preheat the oven and let the dough rest for about 20 minutes before baking.  You've got to let that beast bake for another half hour or so.  Let's not mention cooling time either.

I've only made mini-boules from the Master Recipe so far, and it's been delicious, but really, five minutes is a fucking lie.
