I Wrote a Column for Total Food Service

I wrote a column for Total Food Service. It's called The Crust Is the Plate.

New York is looking at banning potassium bromate in flour. A lot of pizza shops are going to have to change their dough. And most of them were never taught how to bake without it.

We don't use it here. Unbleached flour, no bromate, every day. So I wrote about what changing flour really asks of a shop. Test the new flour side by side with what you have. Change one thing at a time. Learn what the flour wants before you change your whole process.

It's written for operators. But if you ever wondered why our crust eats the way it does, it's in there too.
