Lads, I think I got it right this time. Last time I posted my sourdough crust pizza I felt like I had descended into the bowels of hell, what with the gnashing of teeth, wailing and arms thrown up in despair.
So, I took your demon spawn advice and changed it up a bit and let it rise longer. I'll show a crumb shot when I cut it.
But it's still the same sourdough crust with homemade pepperoni, mushrooms and jalepenos.
Have at me, I didn't kneck myself last time and enjoyed a great pizza, so I can take it.

These pictures are terrible. Did you take the photos to a laundromat to get them this washed out? What phone are you using?

How do you home make the pepperoni? Any book/website you'd recommend for someone wanting to get into curing meats?

A legitimate website for curing meats and making sausage is meatsandsausages.com. Tons of information and recipes. They emphasize the safety aspect as well. I used their semi-dry pepperoni recipe.

Meh, they were a little blurry but I'd had a half pint of vodka and a few glasses of mead. I suspect I wasn't holding the phone steady, but it's a cheapass phone too.

Agree. My sourdough bread, see pic, is all weight, but my pizza dough was just my own stumbling around with guestimates. I'm still not thrilled with it. But I've got a base to refine it to. Imho, it needs to have more of the occasional air pocket like the sourdough bread. Tbqh, I'm going to try more hydration next weekend. Will post pics then.
My first one was too thin, this one a bit to standard breadish. I want random air bubbles and I think hydration might be the issue. Any experts want to give advice?
