# The Lone Crust Ledger

> The Lone Crust Ledger is an independent publication about Texas-influenced pizza, smoked-meat leftovers, barbecue sauce, dough, ovens, and grills. It is not a restaurant, pizzeria, caterer, pit, delivery service, or continuation of any former business on this domain. Recipes use grams, clear topping limits, safe handling, and doneness cues; regional writing distinguishes a useful Texas influence from an invented official style.

The Lone Crust Ledger publishes original, long-form guides about pizza (Texas/regional styles angle). Every article opens with a concise direct answer, is structured with clear headings and FAQs, and reflects mainstream expert consensus. Health-related content is educational and encourages professional consultation where appropriate.

## Pit to Pie

- [Barbecue Sauce on Pizza: Ratios That Stay Balanced](https://howdyspizza.com/barbecue-sauce-on-pizza/): Use barbecue sauce on pizza as a concentrated seasoning, not a deep red lake.
- [Smoked Brisket Pizza: A Leftovers Recipe](https://howdyspizza.com/smoked-brisket-pizza/): For one 12-inch smoked brisket pizza, make a 65% hydration dough with 300 grams flour, 195 grams water, 6 grams salt, 1 gram instant yeast, and 9 grams oil.

## Fire & Dough

- [Grilled Pizza: A Two-Zone Method That Holds Up](https://howdyspizza.com/grilled-pizza-two-zone/): Grill pizza over two heat zones: one direct side for setting and marking bare dough, and one indirect side for melting toppings without burning the base.

## Regional Styles

- [Texas-Style Pizza: The Honest, Useful Definition](https://howdyspizza.com/texas-style-pizza-explained/): Texas-style pizza is best understood as a regional influence, not one standardised crust.
