I taught my 14 yr old granddaughter to make pizza. She decided to make the homemade pizza for her birthday party tonight. Her mother called a little while ago (she knows nothing about working with yeast). She asked if there was anything that she should do with the dough that Katelyn had made last night. It was sitting out and had risen a lot. I told her to look at it and describe it to me. It had deflated and she said it smelled stongly of yeast. She said that she felt it and tasted it and it felt and tasted okay. I told here to gather the dough together into a ball turn it over to oil the top cover it and put it in the fridge but we are both a little concerned that the dough is okay. What are your opinions? I checked the internet and all they did was tell me how to avoid this problem which I already know. What I need to know is how to evaluate the situation and how to fix it if necessary.
