Future sourdough pizzas



This is one of my better ideas.

With future pizzas in mind, the straight tomato paste is enough to satisfy a tomato sauce requirement, but too thin a layer to interfere if tomato flavor is not the predominant flavor. It will be tomato flavor if left alone, or easily overwhelmed to background flavor. 

It is sourdough starter that would otherwise be discarded by feeding the sourdough pet and keeping it manageable size while still keeping the pet active.

My impulse is to stretch thin pizzas, that is my preference to eat, but I find with these sourdough discs my favorite among them are prepared with 1/2 regular commercial yeast included. It produces a more tender crust, less toothsome, less chewy. Compared to these thicker type shown here with regular yeast too, 100% thin sourdough is too tough to comfortably chew.

The thickness delivers sourdough flavor excellently. They're wonderful crusts. The best I've had and that is no idle brag.

It occurs to me they'd make excellent gifts. The bases of pizza that can be enhanced with anything you like, with anything you have on hand that makes sense, any fresh thing can be put on these, thus the best of two worlds, convenient frozen individual sourdough base  with absolutely anything reasonable and fresh not frozen, and those two things together surpassing anything else you can bring in. Imagine not wanting to cook anything, but you do have some lettuce. These are perfection for slumming it, for a real meal, and for entertaining too. They are even great as bread with no enhancements at all.

I know a child's heart and mind by being in possession of those, this is something that children would love to do, to participate in, to learn about, to do now and also to save for the future and then actually follow through and to adorn them later with things assembled later, to do all of that. This is definitely family-time child's play.

* excellent for myself, fast, convenient, and perfection each time
* excellent for entertaining, just whip them out and start piling things on
* fine friendly utterly unique gift, albeit a bit odd
* great child activity
