Yes, you can refrigerate bread dough, and in fact you will probably find that it will give you better, tastier results, because the yeast has more time to do its work. Any bread baker worth his salt (flour?) will tell you that a slow, cold rise is better than a fast, warm one.
You should refrigerate the dough immediately after mixing, not after a rise. Depending on the amount of yeast in your recipe, this can be for a few hours or even overnight. Allow the dough to warm up a little before baking.
After mixing should be read as after kneading, I'm thinking.

(Our section at that time was about 25 people, and she brought plenty of food (with some of her family assisting) for everybody)
When I was a flat-broke grad student, I'd hit the all-you-can-eat Indian lunch buffets, yeah, on Devon, and yeah, with some buddy who'd agreed to pick up the tab if I introduced him to some cheap eats! Shame is for folks who can afford it!
Another place you can go for cheap, as in fo' free, eats is the local Krishna temple. I was a regular on Sunday nights when I was living in that apartments-converted-from-a-flophouse building on the north side, because it was walking distance. Those folks see food as a, I dunno, call it a sacrament, and they're highly focused on what foods contribute to what body feeling. They pushed some weird stuff, like avoiding onions and garlic, and vegetarian of course, because Hindu, right? I don't buy any of their "karma free" Sattvic woo, but no question, I'd have a whole body hum for the next couple days.
A little googlin' later, looks like they've really expanded their food diplo since my days.
Next time I'm in town, I'm there.

Best Indian Food Devon Street in Chicago, IL
But the real joy that's Devon is on the north side, across the street from the restaurants, where it's wall to wall Indopak grocery stores.
Yeah, I still miss Chicago.
But no question, if you're looking for cheap eats, you can't do better than cuisine from the largest and least wealthy countries on the planet.

Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostUsually, if we decide on pizza, it's a pretty spur-of-the-moment thing.
On occasion, we'll have a "family pizza night", in which we do the whole circus - making the crust, everybody can add their own ingredients to "their turf", and have fun.
Come to think of it, we haven't done that in a while, and now that George has returned from slopping hogs, we should have MAKE YOUR OWN PIZZA night again!!!

And he has been known to add bacon as well, if Kasha has been visiting and we have any leftover.

Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostWe like the Red Baron thin and crispy pizzas from Walmart - $3.50 each, then add our own black olives, pineapple, extra pepperoni....
And bake them just a few minutes longer than the instructions -- we like them crispy.
Oh, and we also add bacon.
