Made it awhile back. Jason can vouch for this >w>
Might come in with some sesame seed chicken tomorrow after I get my paycheck and go shopping. I'll make a vid or something of me making it.

Its legit, I can recognize that rack from anywhere.

Where are the God damn watermarks!

Processed food poisons the brain.

I had to drown it in salt.

.... of course ;;;


Also, It's a (somewhat) Chicago-style stuffed pizza. Contains onions, bell peppers, mozzarella cheese, Canadian bacon, beef, and a little of cheddar cheese. The crust is a plain yeast-based, original Italian-style crust though.

You have convinced me to make a pizza for lunch. How do I go about making the pastry?

With nutella.

Oh right, I forgot the drink.
I think a good wine would go well with my dish:

No sign, but I hope a pic of me drinking will do.

I will be making a pasta dish later tonight. And some Ti Kuan Yin tea to go with it.

YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW MY DIRECTIONS PRECISELY, or you will fuck it up.
Trust me, you skip one thing you WILL fuck it up. Making breads isn't entirely easy either. Don't try to make it look fancy on your first try D:

You need:

• 1 cup warm water
  
• 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
  
• 1 teaspoon salt
  
• 2 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  
• 1 teaspoon basil, parsley and thyme
  

Directions:
1. Stir water, sugar and yeast together in a large bowl. Add the olive oil and the salt. Stir in the flour and mix it WELL with your hands. Let dough rest for 10 MINUTES (Cover it with a damp cloth and put it in a dark spot).

2. Roll out dough onto pan using your fingers dipped in olive oil. Sprinkle parsley, basil and thyme onto crust. Top with your toppings and bake for 15 to 20 minutes in a preheated 425 degree oven.

That sounds really good. XD

Do you remember how long it took you to make it?

About 45 minutes when I am not distracted, and don't have to chop much stuff.

I knew there was going to be a hidden catch. Takes too long/too hard/too messy to make. Plus, I'm 99% sure I don't have yeast.

Basil? never thought of it, might try it next time I make pizza
I'd actually recommend longer rest time for the dough, at least half an hour(I tend to leave it for six hours, but I don't think you want to wait that much)

Depends on how much you want the dough to rise. Simple pizza crusts don't need a long wait time. Maybe for a light fluffy bread you would want it to rise more.

Vegemite is the best spread ever. I can eat it straight from the jar.

Love that stuff.

Italian grandma recipe.
In fact, what you americans call pizza is some sort of mutant to me.

And you are talking to the Culinary Student who is learning the classics, and uses the classics.

I am aware of that, I just find your pizza kind of weird.

Ugh. Now I'm hungry again. D:

I find it funny how your "grandma's recipie" doesn't include basil.

not in the dough.

Thou shalt not question the Italians when it comes to Pizza.

Best Pizza I've ever had was in Italy. Even their supermarket pizza was amazing.

I use both of them, parsley in the sauce, sometimes, and basil with sliced tomato as topping. Never did in the dough...

There. You sly devil <3

Macaroni, hot dogs, and peppers?

turkey sausage. it's pasta not macaroni. lol
I can totally make alfredo from scratch but i'm too lazy to do that this late. so yahr.

My God that looks unbelievable. Have a sudden urge to throw away what I'm eating and go try cook that.

Anywho. Went downstairs, preparing breakfast. Making an omelette, halfway through realised we only had two eggs, one frozen. Had to turn it in to boring Pasta <.<

Ooh what cooking contest?
Damn, I dont have time to cook anything extravagant till monday.

Of course we do!
I just hate the stuff.
Not really, but eh. Not my favorite dish.
I think I will make a giant omelet for LG.

You freeze eggs?

For some reason, if anything leans up to the back of the fridge it freezes. Rest a carton of milk on the back, by morning its frozen solid.
