This week I used ingredients that I had at home to create these pizzas!
Ingredients (per two pizzas): 2 1/2 cups of plain flour 3 tsp of baking powder 1 tsp salt 3/4 cup of water 1 tbsp of olive oil pizza sauce any toppings you want!a Method: 1. Preheat oven to 200°C 2. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir until combined and set aside. 3. Combine the water and oil in a separate cup or jug 4. Slowly add the water mixture to the flour mixture, holding back a little just in case you don't need it all 5. Using a wooden spoon, or your hands, mix until the dough should be soft, not sticky. Add a splash of water if it is too dry. 6. Lightly flour your work area and a rolling pin then split the dough in half, roll them into circle shapes making sure you stretch out the dough so it isn't too thick. 7. Transfer the pizza base to a nonstick pizza base or large baking tray. Spoon the pizza sauce over the pizza base. Add whatever toppings you want! 8. Bake the pizza for 15-17 minutes or until golden brown! Slice and enjoy! Sensory Analysis: Taste: Savory, Delicious and Cheesy Texture: Doughy, Soft and Crunchy Aroma: Cheesy and Meaty Appearance: Yellow, Circular and Gorgeous Family Star Rating: 5/5 Reflection: This falls under the Australian guide to healthy eating as it includes, carbohydrates, dairy, protean (in the ingredients we used) and veggies. This was tricky to think of something to make without going out, however we decided that pizza was quite easy as the main ingredients for the dough were simple and that it didn't include yeast (which we didn't have!). The toppings were also easy, cheese, pizza sauce, meat and veggies were easy as we had them all! I helped as I helped make the dough, I added the pizza sauce and helped my dad with the toppings, while my mum did most of the rolling! Food wastage is quite a big issue, we are wasting food that could be given to people who need it! The Government estimates food waste costs the Australian economy $20 billion each year. Over 5 million tonnes of food ends up as landfill, enough to fill 9,000 Olympic sized swimming pools. Sustainable eating is where we eat everything we buy, or only get food we need, so we aren't wasting food. Other countries are already implementing rules like, in February 2016, France became the first country in the world to prohibit supermarkets from throwing away unused food through unanimously passed legislation. Now, supermarkets of a certain size must donate unused food or face a fine. Hope you enjoyed this sustainable dinner!
