Mozzarella & TessaFox
Did you ever notice how the dough sighs when it rises, like a whispered secret from the earth?
Oh, absolutely! I always hear that soft sigh, like the dough's telling me its secret hydration ratio—about 65% for that perfect airy crumb. It’s like a little applause before the bake. Just make sure you’ve got the basil on the rim of the bowl, not in the middle, or the dough will protest with a silent whine. And hey, never forget the parmesan—my favorite ladle, Sir Ladle McSpoon, keeps it on the back of the counter for that dramatic finale.
