PIZZA !!

So today, I made pizza for lunch and it was amazing. I know, I’m bias but who cares. So here is how I did it:

1) I used fresh yeast, which looks really weird and grey and smells disgusting. I mixed it with water and sugar until it looked like this:



2) Next, I put some flour, salt, warm water and olive oil into the bowl and added the fresh yeast. It looked a little gooey at first but I added more and more and then more flour until it was no longer sticky and looked like goo from Dr Who.


3) I put the dough in a warm place so the yeast could do some sciencey stuff that I’m sure was explained to me in year 9 biology something about the yeast expanding as that is it's optimum tempurature so the rate of reaction would increase, but I'm not sure, so we will call it sciencey stuff. (And yes, this is just the top oven because it warms up when the bottom oven is on)


4) This is when the fun stuff happens, the making of the pizza. I rolled it out quite flat so it could fit the circular pizza tin, added lots of tomato pizzary sauce that my sister made, mozzarella and peppers.







5) The finish masterpiece.

It was so good and I will definitely be cooking this again, maybe for the next IB dinner? Oh, yes we have dinners! (another reason why you should do the IB)

I will write soon. Much love!
