I know it's a little weird to be using olives in fried rice dish, but it adds a nice texture and flavour to the dish :)

I apologise for not having updated this blog in a while but uni and work have been taking up most of my time. I'll try my best to upload more recipes, but I can't promise anything. Till the next recipe, ta ta for now~

Pizza

Anyone up for a nice pizza? I was casually asking my friend how much he eats and he compared it to eating a whole pizza. It sparked inspiration for me to actually make pizza since I haven't had it in ages, plus I never got the chance to make pizza from scratch when I was in Secondary School.

Because I've been so busy at work, this is a super simple recipe. It's not quick because it does take some time for the dough to rise.
This recipe would be great with children as well! Because they get to choose their toppings and place them on the pizza, so it's like a personal yay!

So ingredients are all up to your imagination. I used olives, parmigiano-reggiano cheese, cheddar cheese, white button mushrooms and tomato paste. I love to buy Leggo's tomato paste. You don't have to worry about how you're going to use leftover paste because you can always dilute it with milk or thicken cream to make pasta sauce.

So this post will basically be how to make the dough and the toppings are all up to your creativity!

Ingredients:
Plain Flour (200g)
Yeast (slightly less than 1 tsp)
Lukewarm water (125ml)
Salt and sugar (pinch) 

  • Step 1, preheat oven to 180-200 degrees celcius.
  • Step 2, combine the water, sugar and yeast together in a small bowl. 
  • Step 3, combine flour and salt in a larger bowl and make a well
  • Step 4, after 5 minutes when the small bowl mixture is foamy, add it into the well of the bigger bowl
  • Step 5, mix well and knead the dough on a lightly floured surface till smooth and elastic
  • Step 6, place it back in the bowl and place a damp cloth to cover the bowl. Leave it to double in size ( in warm room temperature)
  • Step 7, when the dough has doubled, roll it out into a circle trying to make the surface even 
  • Step 8, place them on a baking tray/aluminium (ensure surface has been oiled so the dough doesn't stick). 
  • Step 9, into the oven they go!! For around 10-15 minutes

My family used to let my brother and I pretend to make pizzas using bread slices. I really wish they knew how to make pizza dough then. Bread slices just doesn't really hit the spot. 
I hope you have fun making pizzas :D 

Hugs for everyone! Pizza anyone?
