  even if the original volume was 1/10, that’s a lot of wasted food

    I don’t know why they’d be throwing away so much dough. The only things I could think of is they made it wrong, or it’s very old.

    There’s no way they accidentally made too much. Pizza shops usually have small dough mixers.

      If they’re making actual yeast dough balls you can’t make that to order. You need to prep them and put them in the fridge and if the proof time is too long then they go in the dumpster. If they were hoping for a rush and didn’t get it for whatever reason that could be a lot of dough balls

      Bottom right is Peppes pizza. The bases come pre-sauced and frozen in packs of 20. You put them into an oiled pan and put racks of these pans into a leavening cupboard. They puff up a lot, but they need to be used the same day. Because they fall pretty quickly.

      My guess is that they accidentally dropped a couple of boxes down the stairs and shattered them to the point they couldn’t be used. Tossed them into the bin without thinking and the midday sun took care of the rest.

      Similarly with chain pizza places like PJ’s, the dough is made at a central location and distributed by truck twice a week. It’s kept refrigerated for a while but it needs to be taken out of the fridge to rise. Sometimes franchises will order too much and it develops a black marbling of dead yeast, when it gets old. Can’t sell it at that point so you toss it in the bin.

      In short it’s a failure of capitalism.

      Chains will usually ship the dough frozen from a central location, you then defrost it the night before you want to serve it. That means you need to project your sales for the next night otherwise it’ll go bad. If you get it majorly wrong you’ll be left with a load of dough that is bad

      Ya, I was thinking maybe a power outage/fridge failure cause a whole fridge worth to need to be tossed at once, but most pizza shops are gonna try to toss as little dough as possible.

      Yeah, they really had to rise to the occasion here. Some people would have disposed of it irresponsibly, but I guess they're just bread better there, although whoever left it in the sun must have been baked.

  • LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Wouldn’t the water running just break it up and dissolve? Also the temperature outside in a metal dumpster is likely a lot better for proofing than down a drain in the ground with added water. At least I hope, because I know water/flour cakes up and is a pain to clean sometimes

  if the dough is unusable then there’s really not much choice about what to do with it. I suppose you could partially cook it before tossing it, but that’s a high cost option with regards to time, energy usage, and oven space.

  source

  • rumba@lemmy.zip ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    why not just make yeast expand for as long as possible

    The expanding part isn’t making more dough, it’s just eating starch and making carbon dioxide it’s more or less a spongy balloon.

    if you walk over there with a shovel and whack it a few times it’ll deflate back into the original volume.

    if you take a ball of pizza dough and let it rise and cook it, you’ll get a loaf of bread.
