Pizza

Made pizza for our 2nd wedding anniversary.
It tasted not so bad. Could have done better.



Preheat oven 180 - 200 degrees celcius.

Pizza dough:
Wet ingredients
250ml warm water
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

~Prepare wet ingredients in a bowl.

Dry ingredients
500g all purpose flour
100g castor sugar
1 packet of instant yeast (11g per packet)
Pinch of salt

~ Dry ingredients in another bigger bowl.
~ Mix wet ingredients into dry ingredients slowly, whisking with a fork until well combined.
It should look flaky. With your hands knead dough slowly on a flat surface.
You'll know it's done when the dough looks smooth like this.


Wrap it in a plastic wrap.


Keep it in a dry warm place such as the oven, for an hour.
After an hour, unwrap it & knead again for few minutes.
Let sit in the bowl & keep in oven for another hour.


Tripled in size. So cute. XD


Now for the best part in making this dough. Punch it in the middle
to let the air out. YEAH!

Before kneading the dough, flour the surface to prevent sticking.
Divide dough into 2.
With rolling pin, flatten dough until as thin as possible or to your liking.
I was lazy so I use my hands instead, punching & stretching the dough.
Grease & flour baking pan, carefully put the pizza dough on it.


I made a huge mistake. I didn't grease or even flour the baking pan.
The result was, the pizza stick to the pan after baking.
Was soooo frustrated trying to get it off the pan. =/


The round & square pizza had the same topping.
The normal tomato paste, some pre-made beef bolognaise,
thinly sliced canned button mushrooms, green bell peppers, canned pineapples,
onions, cheddar cheese & grated mozarella.


Tomato paste


Beef Bolognaise


Onions & Canned Pineapples


Green bell peppers & canned button mushrooms


Finally the cheeses.
Baked it for 15 minutes or more or until the dough is golden brown.


The round one.. ^^




Splash of tabasco & bon appetite~
