And so i spent the afternoon today kneading dough to make pizza dough and a cheese bread, I'm having too much fun baking and do not want to do anything else at the moment, but today because i put in a little extra water ,my right forearm nearly had a chance of competing with Popeye's forearm , that's how much i had to knead it while putting the flour in so that i had the right consistency of dough, but all's well that ends well, and so as i rubbed in the olive oil , i kind of was feeling like singing" besame, besame mucho" and getting into a full scale soprano mode and was dreaming of tossing the pizza dough in the air ....gosh i really do have a fertile imagination ha ha ha and love every "pequeno" bit of it..
Follow exactly what i did for the bread loaf , but just substitute the margarine for the olive oil, and add some ajwain into the flour, i also sliced some garlic into the dough , because i like garlic in my food, when the dough has risen, you beat it down , and then divide the dough into sections depending on how big , thick or thin you like your pizza base, and roll out your dough, put it onto a flat baking surface and blind bake it for about 8-10 minutes, it comes out wonderful and crisp, also because i made the base really thin.....
Got it out added my pizza sauce, and added vegetables , a variety of them and a super helping of cheese, put it back in the oven and kept a watchful eye , because i love my cheese to be just about melted gooey and slightly brown ......
it took about 10 minutes more .....And then the moment Zeke , my house help and me were all waiting for....
Took it out, it had a wonderful aroma that in sure you get all over in Italy , oh forgot before i took it out , put some fresh basil (which i now grow at home along with , kangkong , coriander, lemon grass and a little mint) and just threw it onto the melted cheese , ooooh that aroma is to die for, took it out in less than a minute, cut it into slices and clicked a photograph , very very quickly , before it was dived into and devoured, lovely fresh yummy pizza, sprinkled with chilli flakes and oregano, hot and cheeesy, delivered with a piroutte only from "Maria's Kitchen"
