Sourdough Bread and Pizza

Last Weeks Bread.

I fed both starters and made a biga on Thursday at 11:00 AM.

 I then left to drive down to Victoria. 

 By the time I got back the starters had both doubled and the biga was ready to use. 

 In less than three hours.

 I kneaded up a batch of dough with 1000 g of flour, 530 g of biga, and 680 g water. 

Before bed, I baked four baguettes with half the dough 

 and the other half went into the fridge. 

I had intended to use the remaining dough Friday night to bake a pizza.

 But that didn't happen.

I was late getting home from work  and

 besides it was too hot to even think of heating the oven to 550°F .

I know that a lot of people like leftover pizza for breakfast. 

 I'm not one of them. But a fresh baked pizza for breakfast is a whole other story. 

So,  I got up at 3:30 Saturday morning

 took the dough out of the fridge and went back to bed.

 Got up again about 5:15. 

 I had enough dough to make one loaf of bread and one pizza. 

 While the loaf was rising, I made the pizza sauce. 

Seasoned ground pork for Italian sausage and sauteed enough for the pizza. 

 And then sauteed mushrooms.

 By 6:30 Moe was eating pizza in bed watching the women's British Open.

And I had enough dough left to bake one loaf of bread.
