More on overnight pizza dough

Wow, people pay attention! Shortly after I read this article in the New York Times, two friends sent me the link. Sweet!

It's about the benefits of letting pizza dough rise overnight. (Spoiler: It adds flavor.)

I also had a friend ask why I was so intent on making this second dough recipe work if I already have a perfectly good one (which I fell back on this past weekend when the overnight recipe failed). The simple answer is that I don't want to just make pizza. I want to make my perfect pizza. So I'm all about trying as many recipes as possible and tweaking things until I can create my own pizza heaven.

The second answer, I guess, is contained in this article — that apparently letting the dough rise overnight makes it better, or at least different. I wasn't aware of that, but now I have even more incentive to make it work.
