The prep station is complete, and the test was a complete success!

Hey Craig, I'm considering whipping up a dedicated prep station.  If you had to build your station again from scratch, is there anything you'd change?

No probably not. It's really worked well for me.

Craig, if we are using your table and doing a 24 hour and shorter ferment time, what do you recommend for the amount of time bulked and then how long in balls?  Would it be safe to say for a 24 hour, 12 and 12?  And then less than 24, just a few hours bulked but say 80% in balls?

I pretty much only do 36+12 and 12+12.

You are roughly 3-4 hours from San Antonio. I am on my way to help eat these beauties.

17 hours from me to Texas. I wouldn’t worry about them being cold, but eaten up.

Maybe it’s the lighting, maybe not, but I still think your pies keeps looking better as the years go by.

One of the best tasting pizzas I've ever made (to my tastes). Fresh (Costco) and whole milk LM mozz (Walmart Great Value), Pecorino, fresh serrano slices, salt, Calabrian chili oil post-bake.

64% Caputo Nuvola, IDY, 48 hours RT. 50 seconds @ 1000F in the Pizza Party Passione running gas.

2/1# and it's sliced. Push it through a wire mesh to cut it up into little cubes about 3/8"

Is this on a bed of tomato sauce--its appears to be?
