Let's Make Pizza!

This is Sean!
Do you like pizza? You know I do! Pizza in Japan is very different from America- sometimes I can't find exactly the kind of pizza I want so... I decided to make some myself.
You might not know, but I used to work in a restaurant that served pizza, steak and other dishes. I learned from our head chef how to make delicious pizza! I'll show you how.

First, you'll need (in the picture from left to right)
A large bowl, a measuring cup, a coffee mug and spoons (Tablespoon (15cc) and Teaspoon (5cc))
1 1/2 cup Water
2 tbsp (30 cc) Olive oil

1 1/4 tsp (6.25 cc) Salt
3 cups
white Flour
2 cups white Flour (extra!)
1/4 tsp (1.25 cc) Yeast
1/4 tsp (1.25 cc) Sugar



Step 1: Pour the water into a coffee mug and microwave it for 1 minute. The water needs to be warm. Not hot!

Step 2: Mix everything but the flour.

Step 3: Add 3 cups of flour slowly and mix well. The mix should look wet and sticky, but not too wet like a pudding. Add more flour if you need to, but be careful! You don't want the mix to be too dry!

Step 4: Cover the bowl with plastic, and put it somewhere safe.




-----Wait 12 hours-----




Step 5: Put a lot of flour on your counter or a cutting board. Dump the mix onto the flour and cover the mix with flour. You want it to not stick to your hands.

Step 6: Cut the big ball into 4-8 pieces. cutting into 4 will give you big pizzas. 8 will give you small pizzas that are a nice size for 1 person.

Step 7: Make the smaller pieces into
balls. If you are not going to eat them, put them in plastic bags and then into your freezer.

Step 8: If you want to eat a pizza, now you should roll the ball flat and make it into a large circle.


Step 9: Cover the pizza with your favorite toppings. Don't forget to put oil on the outside edge of the pizza!

Step 10: Put the pizzas in your
microwave and bake for 10 to 20 minutes at 250 C.

Enjoy!!!
