Minor setback

I had a bit of a disaster with Jim Lahey's no-knead pizza dough recipe last night. The issue, I think, is that if you're going to "not knead", then you must commit to a full 12-24 hours of rising to let the glutens knit together. In the end, I simply kneaded post-rising, and that worked out fine.

What didn't work out fine is when I decided that I was too lazy to fetch the pizza stone from the oven, and tried a baking sheet instead. I owe my wife for the resulting white, flabby, pizza - except, having settled for a husband of similar coloring and rigidity, it's possible she didn't mind.
