Fun with Pizza. It’s so easy.
How do you like your pizza? Thick or thin crust? Lots of cheese? Or just full of toppings? I definitely like mine with thin crust, lots of cheese with moderate toppings. As much as I like to try making a pizza base myself, I didn’t had the courage to do it, for fear of failing and wasting the cheese and toppings. From my understanding, to achieve a thin crust, you need a very high heat like a stone oven to toast the pizza fast and yet the toppings gets cooked with cheese melting at the same time. Nevertheless, it will still be in my to-make list. It’s just a matter of when I can strike this item off the list.
A promise’s a promise. The long awaited school holidays were here again. We baked chocolate chip cookies last National Day. The intention for this session was to make rolled cookies. I even got the cookie cutters ready. But I gave them 2 choices. So it’s gonna be pizzas or cookies? Pizza sounds delicious and fun to have, and so they decided on making pizzas instead.
Store-bought frozen pizza crust isn’t that bad. In fact, it’s quite decent and affordable. And you can have free-play to use whatever toppings and cheese you like. You can spread a layer of tomato sauce or puree on the base of the pizza. As I had a jar of tomato-based pasta sauce in my pantry, I used that instead. Next, is to grate a layer of mozzarella cheese on the tomato sauce, followed by the toppings you’ve prepared. I used ham and fresh button mushrooms. Lastly, grate another layer of mozzarella and sprinkle some dried parsley on top. And they were ready to go into the toaster! It’s that easy!!
The 2 girls had fun preparing for the pizza, mainly cutting up the ham and mushrooms. These pizza crusts are of personal pan size and takes only 12 to 15 mins to toast. I love to watch the cheese melts and turn brown. Gosh, I am drooling at the of thought that while typing this post.
These pizzas are really not bad tasting! I am quite pleased with the results. My niece said it looked ‘real’. What she meant was the photo of the pizza looks pretty professional. Haha… I thought pizzas are not filling enough for them. So I made some wild mushroom soup for them to go with the pizzas. What a nice auntie I am. Hehe… But my effort was not wasted. They LOVE the soup and gave me both thumbs up!
Sorry for not posting this entire month. I didn’t had the mood to blog as work keeps piling up. I have so many things to blog about!!
