I came up with something more feasible now, that is to make/ bake/ cook/ read/ do something new once a week. I think it's important to learn how to never be afraid of making mistakes and that it's okay to fail at things sometimes, so I intend to document my experience in this little space. Hopefully I'll keep up to it!
Here's week 1, and it's Pizza Wednesday.
Getting the dough consistency right was difficult for me - I used too much water for my yeast and ended up having to top up more flour until the mixture is just about right. And this baby grows twice its size after sitting in the bowl for an hour. Yeah, you can imagine the amount of leftover dough I have in my fridge. Guess what's for dinner tonight, and lunch tomorrow, and dinner too? Hur hur.
The second mistake was to use greaseproof paper! DO NOT use greaseproof paper to line your pan/tin! (or maybe I used them wrongly) The paper was stuck to my pizza base, so I ended up scraping the pizza off with a knife and the meal turned out to look quite unglam, haha!
Pizza was rather bread-like too, I was hoping that it would turn out crusty but it didn't. Better try next time (or tonight).
Overall I thought today turned out okay - messed around in the kitchen, and the best part is that I don't have any classes today. Double yay!
Got tips or ideas to share, anyone? Join me in this project, google a new recipe and make something today! :)
