apparently they had to switch puppeteers for non suit so many times due to heat stroke, since the surface was actual pizza being heated from within

They ate themselves alive.
vk6flab@lemmy.radio 10 months ago
At least they didn’t pour it down the drain.
Coolcoder360@lemmy.world 10 months ago
It was the yeast they could do.
notabot@piefed.social 10 months ago
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.

Doh!
Phoenix3875@lemmy.world 10 months ago
That’s not enough dough.
LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 10 months 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

With the heat from the sun hitting the dumpster too, hmm. That might actually be how they make theirs down the road.

Pizza the hut lives!
OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 10 months ago
When I was a teen working at Little Caesar’s, we set up a giant elastic band in our back door, and would launch our expired dough balls at the Burger King drive-thru window across the street. Then they’d call us and yell. Fun times.

First time I’ve looked at a dumpster and thought “I bet that smells delicious”
nialv7@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Really? Excuse my ignorance but I thought baker’s yeast doesn’t smell that bad?
AdrianTheFrog@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Raw pizza dough smells nice
(and tastes nice, although i’ve heard you have to be careful now with salmonella in the flour, even though it doesn’t have eggs)

To be fair, he didnnt say it smells “bad”…

It hungers.
NauticalNoodle@lemmy.ml 10 months ago
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.

Add twice as much water, stir, toilet.

Which Peppes pizza is that in the bottom right?
untorquer@lemmy.world 10 months ago
How did you identify that as peppes let alone Bergen?
Scott_of_the_Arctic@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I spent several years working at Peppes and so I could recognise the sauce anywhere, Ragn sells is the company that provides dumpsters in Bergen, and nothing happens in Norway.

Dumpster concerns aside, I think these count as feral yeast.

why not just make yeast expand for as long as possible? idk anything about cooking pizzas nor yeast
rumba@lemmy.zip 10 months 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.

expatriado@lemmy.world 10 months ago
even if the original volume was 1/10, that’s a lot of wasted food

You should see grocery store dumpsters.

You should see grocery store trash compactors. So much shit gets tossed and crushed

altima_neo@lemmy.zip 10 months ago
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.
roguetrick@lemmy.world 10 months ago
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
Scott_of_the_Arctic@lemmy.world 10 months ago
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.
troglodyke@lemmy.federate.cc 10 months ago
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
swicano@slrpnk.net 10 months ago
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.
