I have not touched yeast longer than I had expected given that my stand mixer had been with me for more than a month.
I was worried that my pack of yeast had gone dead, so I tried proofing a small amount earlier this week and got positive results. With that, I made pizza :)
I have done pizza more than a few times in the past, but this is the first time since my bread baking class. I used the same recipe I always used--and will continue to do so until my weighing scale reaches me, then I can play around with recipes.
I used a mix of wholemeal and unbleached all purpose flour. On top is a medley of my favourite things like squid ink, cherry (or grape) tomatoes, capers, anchovies and while it is not my favourite as I like making my own, random dollops of ready-made spaghetti sauce.

Some basil would have been great, but I didn't have any.
Luckily I had cut the pizza right out of the oven because in a matter of seconds almost, it had gone crispy. Good luck not shattering crispy pizza--even with a sharp pizza roller.
