Homemade pizza base

 My all time favorite homemade pizza dough recipe. My family now likes homemade pizza better than take out. We are pizza loving family. And for years I searched and searched for the perfect pizza dough recipe. I tried dozens or more. And while some were good, none of them were that recipe that would make me stop trying all of  the others. The secret to the best homemade pizza dough. The secret is in how much flour you add to the dough. This is where I get a little unconventional, because the ingredients are all pretty normal. But my one thing that I think many times people fail and end up with dry, dense bread because they are adding too much flour. I thought about how about wet that dough was, and how I never questioned it because I always did the ingredients by weight and just trusted. So where this recipe differs from most is the amount of flour and the consistency of the dough. The most important step is to not keep adding flour until the dough is no...

Chocolate Ganache

Chocolate ganache is nothing but pure chocolate melted with a generous amount of boiling fresh cream. This smooth airless  chocolate cream makes a lot of things possible. A benefit of chocolate ganache is that the high content of chocolate preserves the fresh cream. So the final product can last in room temperature for a few days before events are celebrated. If freshly mixed, while still in a liquid form,it can be used for pouring on cakes for coating or decorating etc., After a few hours of resting it will set in the perfect working condition  for masking, sandwiching, piping and decorating cakes. If refrigerated, ganache will set hard like butter. This provides a good condition to coat cakes with rolling fondant. Chocolate ganache can also be whipped to increase its volume and create milky, lighter color for truffle cream. Whipping ganache can also reduce heaviness of a cake. Ingredients: Dark chocolate chopped......1000 gms  Butter..........
