Deep Dish Pizza

I decided to make a Deep Dish Pizza - I just it changed up a smidge to use sourdough starter.

Braided Marbled Sourdough Rye Breaf

I was heading up to Baltimore so I decided to make a marbled sourdough rye bread for my friend Denise.



(I had to bring the bread in my carry on luggage, so I placed it on a cooling rack for stability, and use aluminum foil to package it. The man at the TSA scanner looked at me a bit funny - I quickly reassured him it was a bread. I asked him if this was the most unusual thing he had scanned today, and he said it was, but waved me through.)

Italian Sausage Soup

Acini di pepe was on sale, and it jumped in my cart. (This is a small round pasta, much like couscous.) I wanted soup to go with my latest sourdough sandwich bread. I came up with Italian Sausage Soup with acini di pepe pasta.

Spinach Artichoke Olive Tapenade

I wanted a light lunch, and I had the end of a week old sourdough bread. I decided to slice the bread thinly, and top it with a spinach artichoke olive tapenade. (I was going for a cross between pesto and a traditional olive tapenade.)
