Pizza Party

Last Friday on the 15 June, 12 kids from Room 4 (plus Chi) went to the soccer tournament at Saxton Field. The remaining seven stayed at school and made pizza.

We made the dough at school and brought the toppings from home. While we worked we listened to Emma’s music. We cut up the topping and grated a whole block of cheese. After a break to wash our hands, we kneaded the dough. While we were at assembly we let the dough rise on the fire in bowls. They looked like butt cheeks because they were all squished together.

After assembly we kneaded it again until we could feel it was soft and stretchy and then we rolled it out. We each put some toppings on our own and popped then into a hot oven. Not long after that we ate them and they were delicious.

The recipe that we used was really good. Jane has been using it for years after a parent gave it to her. If you would like to try it out, the recipe is below the photos.

One teaspoon salt  recipe                      to make two middle     

Two teaspoons sugar                               sized pizzas.

Two tablespoons Surebake yeast

(Or four tablespoons plain dry yeast)

One cup of cold water

One cup hot water

Put both two cups of water into glass jug to mix, then stir in.

Mix together in a big bowl and leave for three minutes.

Add three cups of flour and one tablespoon of cooking oil to make a soft dough.

Knead for five to ten minutes on a floured surface.

Leave to rest in the bowl while it rises, cover with damp cloth.

Divide into how many pieces you want.

Roll out each piece on a floured surface with rolling pin and make into a circle or any shape you like. Make it thick or thin, depending on which you prefer.

Put on greased tray.

Put on your toppings and cook for ten to fifteen minutes at 230 C.
