Not much to report today, I was planning a different post, but thought this was a little more appropriate for the day. The day started fairly early for my husband since Valeria decided on an early morning today
The morning went by too quickly; breakfast, nap, walk, laundry folded, lunch and than out the door to run some necessary errands. We needed to pick up a gift for my sister-in-law and a card, return a package from Amazon and pick up some grocery items. When we got home, Valeria played a bit on her mat and than off for another nap, but it wasn’t very long. I took full advantage and started making homemade pizza. My husband started grilling up a steak for Valeria and I.
A few weeks ago we went to the farmers market to pick up some things and they had a sourdough vendor there. He was advertising all sorts of breads and than in the corner of his booth there was a tiny sign that said “Sourdough pizza dough – 3 for $10”. Well you know I had to try that! So that’s what I used tonight for the pizza, though not sure I did it quite right. I stretched out the dough, topped it with the roasted tomato and garlic sauce I made the day before (really easy if anyone would like the recipe…maybe I’ll just do a post!) and than toppings. I left it in the oven for about an hour, but the dough didn’t seem like it was cooking. After an hour and 20 minutes I took it out. My husband said it was delicious, my mother said the dough was still raw and I was like “Crap, I think I did this wrong….maybe don’t eat it…” With concern plastered on my face that I might give them food poisoning. If anyone has made sourdough pizza dough before and has tips, please let me a comment. Any help is appreciated. All in all though, for my first attempt, I was pretty happy with the results!
We were planning to leave for my mother-in-law’s today, but the day just got away from us so we opted for tomorrow morning instead. Just finishing off some laundry and getting some things ready for our family beach day tomorrow near my husband’s hometown and we’re all set! We’ll leave after Valeria has breakfast and hopefully she will be a happy camper in the car. She has not enjoyed long car rides recently, which is a new little phase she is going through. But I’m hoping it won’t last long too long.
Otherwise, that’s all for today; busy but boring and honestly just how I like it. I hope you had a wonderful day wherever you are in the world!
Ciao!!
