I'm not too sure about the looks of that strawberry-rhubarb one -- I think you'd better pack that up and send it to me for quality control.

There's broken lattice in quadrant TR1, and definite signs of scarring in BR2 and BL3, and that's just based on a cursory visual inspection ...

Or you could make more pies.
And ship them to poor pieless folks.
Just, y'know, floating the idea.

IF they get there at all...

Part of me wants to use it on a pizza, but I don't feel right using pre-made store bought crust...

Do you have a mixer? I could give you my pizza dough recipe. I get best results with a baking stone, put honestly, you can get yummy homemade on a cookie sheet. I recommend baking paper though - it's sometimes called parchment paper. It makes it very easy to spread out the dough and you don't get masses of flour stuck to the bottom or need cornmeal to slide it off.

Nope, no mixer. Else I would have already stolen my mom's dough recipe.

you don't need a mixer to make dough! we've always done it by hand. very easy.

Ha! There are ways that you can mix dough without spending lots of time and effort kneading. It involves a lots of French words that I can't pronounce properly, but apparently it works. I incorporate some of the folding techniques to give my dough some strength, otherwise, as wet as I prefer my dough, it just flops out of the pan.

But you can mix up the dough with your hands, smoosh out all the lumps, plop it in a bowl and cover it and about an hour later, plop it out, smoosh out any lumps, fold it up in thirds, like a letter (twice) let it rise another hour or so, then divide the dough into however many pizzas you want, make balls out of the bits and start the oven.

I have found that using a poolish, and keeping it cold, plus mixing with ice cold water, really helps the stretchability of the dough. But you have to use instant yeast.

In the end I'll probably just end up using it in pasta sauce.
