pizza schmizza!!!


dude check out the cheese spill.
it's totally saying HI COME AND GET ME NOW BABY
how awfully naughty :) ooo. *salivates*


today i am italian!
status: currently biting into oven fresh pizza..*whoops there goes an oregano leaf down the keyboard* while posting this :) ahhh cheesy goodness with crispy crust.

don't you have this thing against thick bready pizza bases. it totally spoils the pizza experience. too overwhelming for me.
I generally prefer thin crusts or stuffed crusts. thin because it's really crispy- seriously if you haven't tried the thin ones you're really missing out. stuffed crust because--- of the cheese :) so elastic.

anyway. made pizza today.
really simple.
you can make the dough and store it in the fridge to keep for another day.
and sorry bout sidetracking so much but I have to say i totally adore the smell of ethanol released by yeast when you make the dough... ahhh :)

basic thin crust pizza dough recipe
(obviously, you roll it out thinly, around 1 cm thin)

1.one teaspoon dry yeast, activated in
3/4 cup lukewarm water + teaspoon sugar for 20 minutes
2.FLOURRRRRRR 250g and extra for dusting
mix until consistency is sticky- not too wet, not too dry
keep in a bowl, cover with wet cloth and leave it to rise for 1 hour+ (keep watch)

toppings are up to ya :)

oven should be 220 degrees celcius. bake for 20 mins. don't take it out too early though it's not gonna be crispy. wait till it's goldenish :)

    Really? The guy's about to get consumed! I think he's bluffing and that's cheese sweat. :P

    Nah. I like some girth to my crust, and I certainly don't like them stuffed. I'd rather have more bread and less cheese. Dad's just the opposite, as far as cheese (and butter) is concerned. :P
