After Party Fermentation

by | Jun 4, 2018 | Baking, Doughnuts, Fermentation, Pizza

Four days past our annual Spring Fling, I had leftover scraps of donut and pizza dough. Given this was sourdough, I was reminded what my buddy, baker John Downes, once said, such remains are “Satan Spawn,” as they inevitably lead to an acidic stew that, at best, results in heartburn. At worst? Call in a priest! Well, after reballing, shaping, and proofing these dough scraps, I decided to take chances, using it to make another set of donuts and pizza. John, my friend, you may be right about the devil, but last week Lazarus rose from the dead. Proof is below.
