I made the first recipe for Pretzels again… I’m still having issues getting them to not stick to the parchent paper when they’re rising, but now that I think of it, I didn’t exactly grease/butter/oil the paper either.

Ok, so a while ago I mentioned that we tried making a Mexican Pizza. It turned out phenominal! We used the spent grain pizza dough we’d made from the Hazelnut Brown Ale. I had already done the 500°F prep on it so that was a bonus. We had some Hot Italian Sausage (about .75 pounds) [...]
