Dough!

Working with sour dough takes time, which I fortunately have. When I want to bake a batch of bread, I start around midnight. This works out fine because I don't need to get up for work in the morning.

After I've had my fix of late night television, I gear up for some time in the kitchen. My daily goal is to make sure everything is put away, so my husband comes down to a clean/clutter-free kitchen in the morning.

Last night, I made enough dough for four small loaves, and a pizza crust. The loaves were 3 ounces each. One loaf will stay on the counter, three will go into the fridge. With just two of us, we'll get almost a week out of them, and they will stay fresher in the fridge.

Pizza is a staple for us. My version here, simple with homemade sauce, fresh whole milk mozzarella, and plenty of olive oil. The side was chicken parmesan, made in the air fryer for last  night, and reheated tonight.

Meals prepared at home are healthier because I make everything from scratch. Restaurant and take-out are often too sweet, too greasy, or too salty.

As for cost, I buy no-nonesense  ingredients, mostly on deals or sale. This meal for two cost less then ten bucks to make. We have five slices of pizza for lunch tomorrow.

I'll  post next about the frozen yogurt served as dessert. We eat well in this house!
