Thin Crust Pizza Recipe

This pizza is done by me and my man ♥ ❤ We love pizza~ but not pizza hut.. haha.. Not really like the pizza there with thick thick bread and super thin layer of the topping. If Domino's is available, we always choose domino to eat.
Been eating pizza for so long time but never thought of DIY it~ until the day we having potluck party at some relatives house, one of the cousin makes pizza! It seems like not so hard right... And so we decided to give it a try~ ^^


 Here's the ingredient for the pizza dough (2 x 11 inches pizza for thin crust)~ After we research for awhile on Google, this is the easiest recipe that we can get. Not to say easy but is simple ingredient that we can easily get in any supermarket :)

 All the ingredient and tools~ you can see... the yeast I'm using was the instant yeast from Kijang brand.

 Normal 'tepung gandum' is the only choice in the super market.

 This is the olive oil I'm using, choose this one just because only this is available in small bottle in my supermarket. Because we only need to use a little of this, so I bought a small bottle.

 This is how the yeast look like... yuck.. don't know why I felt disgusting!

OK ALL SET! LET'S START!

STEPS (for the pizza dough):
1. Add sugar into the luke warm water you prepared.
2. Then add in instant dried yeast.
3. Just put it there and wait for approximately 15 minutes until all the yeast "wake up"

 The mixture

 After 8 minutes

 After 12 minutes... you can see this is ready when all the entire dried yeast had been transform.

4. Now mix in olive oil and salt.
5. Then add in all the baking flour and mix in the bowl.

 I used a spatula to slightly mixed it when it's still powder and water in the mixture.

 My man is hardly mixing the dough in the bowl ~_~

OK! when it came to this form, you can take it out and knead it with hands~ make sure you clean your hand! 
Another thing is, you can knead on your table(which is clean, other wise you're going to clean the table with your pizza dough). If you find it difficult that you did not had a clean surface, you can buy a silicon mat. Which you can wash easily and it can stay on the table in place while you're kneading.

6. Spread a thin layer of flour on your kneading surface before you put on your dough to prevent the dough from sticking.
7. Knead the dough until smooth and elastic for approximately 10 minutes.


Knead knead knead~ we not yet buy a silicon mat that time... so we knead on a baking paper. its super hard because the paper keep running place, need another person to hold it tight.

8. Put it back into the bowl just now and cover it up with plastic wrap and let it wait for 30 minutes in room temperature.


While waiting for the pizza dough to raise, we prepare the toppings! 
Today I'm gonna do Hawaiian Bacon Sausage and Seafood Delight with Onions! *simply name it*

9. Prepare your tomato paste.

 I bought this chopped tomatoes(but regret). I should direct buy the spaghetti tomato sauce from Prego.

 It looks like this when open up. The chopped tomato was to big for spreading on a pizza. And it taste sour.

 I use a spoon to press all the chopped tomatoes into paste. Then add in sugar, salt, pepper and some basin flakes. Add all these seasoning and taste it until you get the taste you like.

10. Prepare your cheese.

I'm using this pizza plus that already mix all the cheese for pizza :)
NICE! but Expensive... I guess this is the most expensive ingredient of making pizza huh?

11. Prepare your toppings.

 Cut sausage into pieces.

 Cut ham into smaller pieces.

 I use a canned pineapple. Just open up and cut into smaller pieces.

 Then also cut the onion, crab stick and bacon. Open up the tuna.

 After all the cutting, cook all the meat first before put into bake.

All the ingredient for topping is ready... now check on the dough and carry on~

12. After 30 minutes, check on your dough... it will be expend to about 3 times bigger than the previous one.


13. Take it out and separate into 2 equal size.
14. Use your rolling pins to roll the dough into a thin big circle shape.

 15. Wet your entire pizza pan with olive oil so that the pizza won't be sticking on the pan when you serve it out from oven.
16. Put on the pizza dough you rolls just now, and try to press the pizza with your 2 thumbs so that the pizza can go thinner and bigger.

17. Take a folk and make holes on the pizza dough.
18. Preheat oven to 200ºC.
19. Spread on tomato paste.
20. Second layer should be a thin later of cheese to hold the ingredient on the dough.
21. Then all the toppings.
22. Last layer also a full layer of cheese~ I love cheese so much! so I put MANY of it ^^
23. Lastly put into oven and bake for approximately 15 minutes(the time depend on your pizza thickness) with temperature 200ºC until you saw the all the cheese has melted and the pizza dough become slightly brown color.
 

DINGGGG!!!! PizZa is DonE~


 Can you see all the CHEESE~~~~ Aww... I'm hungry!!!

Non-Baked Tiramisu

Hi all~
Long time didn't try new recipe~ today my bro's girlfriend said she gonna make Tiramisu again~  (She did it twice before this^^) So it's a good chance for me to try on new recipes~
So today we are going to make Tiramisu!! ٭٭٭٭٭
I believe this dessert is very popular among the girls~ hmm... at least most of my friends would love it... :)

 Here's the ingredient you need~
  • 1pkt Ladyfingers
  • 500g Mascarpone cheese
  • 250g Whipping cream
  • 50g Fine granulated sugar (25g for egg whites & 25g for egg yolks)
  • 1 tbsp Espresso powder
  • 1 tspVanilla extract
  • 200g Unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 200ml Baileys Irish cream
  • 3 egg


All the tools I've used this time~ I use tiny glass as a container so each one can finish up 1 cup at a time~ because the tiramisu at the end would be slightly creamy rather than hard like a cake, so if you use a big container, the outcome might not look nice when you have to cut it in the container and serve it on a plate.


First, prepare your espresso first. Take 1 tablespoon of espresso powder and put it into a filter bag and add with boiled hot water. After that put it aside to be ready for your steps later.


Separate the egg yolks and egg whites. Ooops~ Sorry~ I had messed up a little bit :p


Beat the egg whites until you see bubbles, gradually add in the sugar and continue beating. For the sugar adding part, I seperate into 3 times. Add 1/3 of the sugar at a time and keep beating at a fast speed.


 Beat the egg whites until it foam a creamy foam.

 
 Take out the egg whites from the mixer and pour in your whipping cream. Beat with fast speed until it foam a soft peaks. *Carefull.. don't over beat..it will become curdles and separated* If you see your whipping cream looks like a scrambled egg... and Congratulation! you had over beat your whipping cream. Go buy again the 2 packet and start beating again. Sorry I'm too nervous to do this steps until forgot to take the final picture haha!:D


 For the egg yolks, add in the remaining sugar just now and add in 1 tsp of vanilla extract. After that beat until it become fluffy foam.


This is the mascarpone cheese~~~ my favourite!!! ❤ ❥❤ ❥


From the whipped cream in the mixer just now, now I add in all the mascarpone cheese, egg whites and egg yolks. *Perhaps I need a bigger mixer bowl...so full the bowl!*


Beat with slow speed until everything mix up well. And here done your cheese mixture part~

Now let's start to do the cake part...

Simply pour out some coffee you make just now into a plate. A thin layer about 2-3mm is good enough.

Then pour out Baileys into another plate...


 Now take 1 of your ladyfingers and damp its bottom in the baileys plate for 3 seconds.


 After that turn it over and damp its top part with coffee for 1-2 seconds. Don't be greedy and soak the biscuits to get more taste.. because the ladyfingers can absorb very fast.. and your cake will become watery and its very disgusting!!!


 Place the ladyfingers into your container. The can break the ladyfingers into pieces according to your container before you wet em'


Second layer, spoon out your cheese mixture just now and slowly lay them on the ladyfingers. You don't need a thick layer, just a layer that cover the ladyfingers.

After the second layer, repeat to do the ladyfinger and place it for the 3rd layer. The rest layer are also just keep repeating until your container is full.

 For my bowl, 2 layer of ladyfingers already full. So I put my last layer of cheese.. Then I cover each cup with plastic food wrap and put it into the freezer. Please let the tiramisu to freeze for 2 hour before serving out :)

And TADAA...!!!! Here comes your faaaavourite tiramisu cake~
oops~ this picture took too early... after that I sprinkle the top with all cocoa powder ^_^ then can't wait to try already!! no time for picture #^_^#
