Tried my hand at a new bread today, pizza bianca (more pics inside)
I don't know how authentic it is to a proper Roman pizza bianca, but I was inspired by some bread I had in Vancouver this past weekend. I looked for some recipes and learnt a lot about pizza bianca along the way... but most of the recipes called for semolina flour, which I don't have and didn't want to buy just to try this, as well as a really long cold proof. Problem is I wanted to try this bread in one day because I'm impatient, so I kept searching and found this recipe. Didn't call for semolina, and had a much shorter proof time. It also recommended a baking stone, which I happen to have.
I may or may not have also been won over by the pictures they included of an amazing mozza and tomato sandwich. Decided yep, that's what I want to bake today.
I absolutely could not get them to be actual squares, but you know what? I quite like them rounded anyway. Sandwich was incredible, highly recommend. And now, more pics!
