I mentioned I was going to tackle pizza crust. And that I did!
This is the recipe I used from Prevention:
3/4 cup warm water (105º-115ºF)
1 package (1/4 oz) active dry yeast
1/2 tsp sugar
1 c whole wheat flour
1 c all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp kosher salt Not sure what the importance of kosher salt is. I used salt.
•Stir together 3/4 cup warm water, 1 package (1/4 oz) active dry yeast, and 1/2 teaspoon sugar. Let stand until foamy, about 10 minutes.
•Stir in 1 cup whole wheat flour, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 tsp extra virgin olive oil, and 1 tsp kosher salt.
•Knead dough on lightly floured surface until smooth, about 2 minutes.
•Put in lightly oiled bowl. Cover bowl loosely with plastic wrap and let dough rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
•Form dough into 4 balls.
•Roll out dough ball on very lightly floured surface until 1/8" thick (about 10" diameter).
•Transfer to baking sheet lined with plastic wrap and cover tightly with another sheet of plastic. Repeat with remaining dough.
•Freeze dough until firm (about 10 minutes) or ready to use.
I decided I would have a different pizza for each crust.
First up.
(and second because I was hungry and tired. No pictures of the second one... too hungry)
Simple tomatoes and mushrooms
then smoky corn & black bean pizza. (I roughly followed the recipe.)
i know their pictures look better than mine. As you can probably tell... I don't really care what my food looks like. I'm more about taste than looks...
Margherita was my final choice. Yum! This one didn't look good (even though it tasted wonderful) so this is a picture from where I got the recipe ;)
(Remember what I've mentioned about not really caring what my food looks like... not a priority of mine.)
I know what you're thinking. Why didn't I make my favorite?
Pineapple next time!
oh yeah,
and other cooking news
cupcakes.
For my cubemate, Rubina's, birthday I threw together some cupcakes. I used this vegan recipe. Very easy and delicious.
I really wanted to make chocolate cupcakes with peanut butter icing. Every time I've made icing, it doesn't turn out. I blame it on not having a mixer, but it's probably my fault. So I wanted to buy peanut butter icing. Impossible. I even called a cupcake place near me and asked if they would sell me icing. Nope. (It was worth a try.)
I ended up buying some whipped butter cream icing at Jewel and put peanut butter chips on it.
And the big day... or rather the day we celebrated Rubina's day of birth (3 days before her bday)
