BEST EVER PIZZA

pizza ingredients

BEFORE IT GOES IN OVEN


Well Stewie now we come to your favourite PIZZA and yes you can buy quite good ones in Aldi but nothing like this this is Student dinner party food

First thing to do is the tomato sauce you can just use pasatta but if you have time put pattasa celery onion mushrooms wine and garlic mixed herbs in a jug in the microwave and cook on high for 4 mins blitz with hand blender then return to micro and simmer for 5 add salt pepper to taste this has to cool down now any left over can be used  for pasta

now make up your base use a packet mix 

treat that dough mean knead for as long as packet says now roll out your dough and put on a backing sheet this has to be left to rise in a warm place 

What I do stewie is fill a bowl with boiling water and put tray on top with a poly bag over it

when it has risen nicely put on pizza ingredients sauce first then what ever you like an example is in the pic above but you could do a breakfast one with sausage black pudding fruit pudding too

place in oven and cook for about 20 25 mins gain make sure oven is hot

ENJOY X

HOMEMADE CHICKEN KIEV


INGREDIENTS

  1. chicken breasts
  2. breadcrumbs 
  3. egg
  4. flour
  5. garlic puree or garlic
  6. parsley
  7. parmigiana cheese

You can buy these Stewie but none come near to this healthy option (well the butter is not healthy but hey ho)
BUTTER FIRST

then you need to cut a hole in the chicken breast
Mix together butter garlic parsley then  roll in to a long thin sausage keep it thin so it will fit into the hole you will cut roll in tinfoil and put in the freezer

this is a picture of you doing it do you remember dad told you you would have salmonella now 
the secret is to make as small a hole as possible at the top and use the scissors to make a pocket inside DONT cut through the skin
I know this looks painful but the chicken is long dead push the frozen butter into the cavity you have made

now flour egg and breadcrumb
and yes I have van dyked the tomatoes to make it look poncy

now place in  a preheated oven 210oc for 25 mins 5 mins before end sprinkle a wee bit of parmigiana if you 
have it
you could deep fry of course to make it even better
serve with potatoes and salad oh I forgot you dont do salad :)
