A version of this post recently featured on my “about” page. Then I opened the WordPress App on my phone, which still had last year’s “about” page text. I regrettably clicked “update”. Here‘s what I’d said about dough before The WordPress App Incident. I think it works better as a blog post.

Everything we do at David Made Pizza centers on the dough. Take that away and we’re nothing. A mere shadow of a seasonal nano ghost kitchen. What’s the big deal with dough? Here’s the gist of it. My great grandmother Sylvia, who was a great candy maker and baker, passed down a bread recipe to my grandmother that my grandmother made and taught my mom and my mom still makes to this day. My dough’s nothing like that. But baking bread was an important ritual in my house growing up. I’d sit on the linoleum petting Bruce the collie as Mom took steaming golden loaves out of the oven. We’d eat them hot without anything on them. Deep in the heart of Wonder Bread Country (rural Ohio), I grew up savoring crust.
