A solid, round, evenly-browned pepperoni pizza cooling on a wire rack on the granite counter — no frills, no styling, just a pizza that turned out exactly the way a pizza is supposed to turn out. Sometimes the archive doesn’t need a story, just a good result.
Invented detail, because that’s the rule: I’ll say this one used a dough recipe that had finally been dialed in after a few years of trial and error. Consistency is its own kind of achievement.
