Let’s Make Pizza
Posted April 27th, 2009 in Food | No Comments »This long weekend was lovely! Nice weather, nice food…. On Saturday night we were invited to aunt’s house for BBQ. We had a drink, sung karaoke… it was fun 🙂 Sunday I went out with friend, and chatted for 2 hours over 1 cup of coffee and 1 piece of cake. Talking never end… That night D’s family and I went to South Ocean for dinner. It was pretty disappointing that waiters mistook our orders twice 🙁 2 dishes out of 3 were not what we ordered, and waiters seemed to not understand what we were saying. It actually happened few times in the past… It was much nicer with their previous manager. Shame that he no longer works in this restaurant.
Anyway,
Tonight I cooked dinner at home. Asian Salad, 3 kinds of pizza, and Takoyaki. A bowl of Edamame as appetizer too 🙂
I like the base of pizza to be thin and crispy. Light taste and nice texture.
< base >
- 4g sugar
- 7g dry yeast
- 80ml warm water
- 250g plain flour
- 2g salt
- In a small bowl, dissolve sugar and yeast in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Pour yeast mixture and stir well. Stir in additional water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until all of the flour is absorbed.
- Turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly for about 1 minute.
- Lightly oil a large bowl. Place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with damp cloth or kitchen paper, and them plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 245.
- Deflate the dough and knead briefly on a lightly floured surface for about 1 minute. Pat the dough into a sheet, and bake in the oven for about 5~10 minute (until just cooked).

- 1/4 onion
- 3cm carrot
- 3cm celery
- 1 clove garlic
- 1~2 basil leaves
- 5g unsalted butter
- 5g plain flour

- Melt butter in a small pan. (don’t let it burn) Add flour and stir. Pour little amount of milk, and stir. Add milk, little amount at a time, and stir well each time until the mixture is right consistency.
