The greatest triumphs come from the dark pit of failure. Case in point, a homebrew misfire became this delicious pizza dough. Lord knows we weren’t going to drink it. If you don’t want to purposely whiff on a batch of Saison, a store-bought bottle will work just fine.
This makes two decent-sized pizzas, but you can also split it into 7” pizzas or double the recipe if you’ve got the time and patience (the dough needs to rest for a few hours or overnight before cooking). Our biggest tip here is to grate the cheese off the block yourself and avoid the bagged stuff, which comes with anti-clumping agents that can sometimes inhibit what top scientists call Melty Cheese Action.
So there you have it, despair turned alchemy-like into cheesy joy. It won’t eliminate football-based sorrow entirely, but it will smother it under cheese and tomato sauce until you don’t care. It certainly worked for us the last few Bears seasons.
