Chris, have you found yet where they call out for an homogenizer?

I have not - none of the recipes I've looked at call for one. I'm really not sure what they'd want to be homogenizing like that, to be honest.

Thanks, time will tell!  Wonder why they explicitly mentioned a rotor-stator homogenizer?

At long last I've got my first sourdough from Modernist Bread. I made the Master Recipe, rather than the Modernist variation, or any of the dozens of various inclusion variations, but I see a lot of sourdough in my future because there are a ton of great ideas in here. I also need more practice at shaping and slashing! I went with their preferred levain maturity (12 hours after feeding for a moderate acidity) and final proof (14 hours at 13°C), which produces a terrifically flavored loaf. Clear sourdough flavor, but not over-the-top sour.

The Modernist variant of the Neapolitan dough (page 5•120) calls for polydextrose and soy lecithin powder.

Every dead Neapolitan pizzaioli is rolling over in his or her grave. And the living ones are probably using some awesome Italian curse words.

 

And I seriously hope that the places where I enjoy some of the best pizza anyone has ever tasted never resort to using polydextrose or soy lecithin powder in their doughs.
