So, last Saturday I decided to make pizza. The idea came from Tomoko, my neighbor who likes to bake all kinds of cake and pastry. So I searched the internet and found this pizza dough recipe and this pizza recipe. After reading the steps over and over again, I thought, "ok, this is gonna be a piece of cake".
So, i went to the shop to buy the ingredients. This is what I bought for my pizza recipe :
- Wheat Flour
- Instan yeast
- Ketchup (tomato sauce)
- Sugar and salt
- Sausages
- Canned Mushrooms
- Greenbell Peppers
- Ground beef
- Onions
- Chedder cheese (prefer mozzarella, but theres none in Prabu..*cry*)
- Garlic
- Olive Oil
Kia Helping Me With The Dough :D |
The first step was making the dough. It's a little hard to determine when the dough was ready, coz it always seemed too sticky, no matter how much flour I added. Well, at the end, it turned out like this.. (after an hour, it rose up) :

Meanwhile waiting for the dough to rise up, i prepared the toppings. First of all, I prepared the ground beef, here's what i did :
- Cut the onions into small bits, and also chopped the garlic.
- Sautee the onions first with a little bit of olive oil then toss in the garlic. Stir until both are caramelized and turn brownish gold.
- Then add the ground beef, continue stirring until the beef is cooked and all the juices come out. You can add a little bit of water to prevent from burning.
- Then last but not list season it with salt and black pepper.
Besides the ground beef, all the other toppings i just cut into smaller pieces. Here's a look at my toppings :

After and hour, my dough has risen, so it was a sign that it was ready. So I took about a half of the dough, then started to spread it out on a plate, put on the toppings, and tad a! This is what it looks like..:)

Yup, so i thought so far so good, everything is right on track, now's the time to bake the pizza..yay!
Pizza Baking in the Microwave, smelling yum yum! |
The problem is, I don't have an oven, but I do have a microwave. So I thought, "what's the difference?". Despite of what hubby said that it won't work, me being stubborn as I am, still continued the process, and cooked the pizza in the microwave. When it cooked, the aroma was so delicious I was so confident with my pizza.. And this is how it turned out :
My So Called Pizza..:D *still yummy though!* |
What?!! The toppings were all burnt, but the pizza dough wasn't cooked enough. No no no!! Argh.. How could this be??! So, I went too check the internet again, searched for "Cooking Pizza With A Microwave". Turns out that hubby was right, you can't cook pizza with a microwave, unless you want your pizza dough too turn out all gooey... hhmm..
Oh well, at least I got a lesson learnt.. And the pizza actually tastes good too.. LOL..*self defense*
