Use hard anodised pan
they work 99% like a non stick pan
and they dont get scratch as bad as a non stick pan
BUT
expensive....
I bought mine from US. 3 sizes for RM40++ (exclude delivery)
Malaysia.... 3 sizes for minimum RM300++

I never do anything to my new pan
but normally westerners seasoned the pan by heating a bit of oil and springkle some salt and pepper

chinese will use garlic and ginger

The total cost was about RM110. My aunt help me took it back from Texas.



True. I used my pans for browning meat, frying egg and making sauces.

with the sugar price increase, still making desserts?

I would recommend using hard anodized pan. it cost more than double of your budget but a good hard anodized pan can last very long.

Hard anodized pan required minimal oil usage and you can use steel/wood/silicon spatula. I would recommend using silicon spatula instead of wood or steel. Wood might leave some residue/bacteria onto the thin lines. Hard anodized pan can resist scratches from steel but why wanna risk it. Teflon as mentioned is harmful to health.

Greenpan are good for professional chef where you can fry your meat and put the whole pan into the oven. It's also hard anodized with ceramic instead of other steels.

Having a good hard anodized pan + silicon spatula = long lasting good cooking.

Hapy Cooking

That you need to read on the box of the pan. (Sorry, No induction cooker)

Kneading should be done for at least 10 minutes. you can use a dough hook on a mixer to do it as well.

Why?
here also have all those ingredient

I notice your pizza dough doesnt contain sugar
1KG of flour normally I can make about 7 medium sized pizza
How big is your pizza?

my pizza dough recipe:

3 Cups of High Protein Flour
1 Cup of water
1 Pack of yeast (11g)
2 Tablespoon of Sugar
2 Tablespoon of Oil
1 Tablespoon of Salt

Knead for 10 Minutes and set aside for 1 hour
This is big enough to make a 15" pizza

1Kg of flour makes me 2 15" pizza
dunno if it is considered extra large at UK

How much is the heat and baking time?

Sugar will make it rise faster and also brown the crust

Effects of Sugar

First, because it’s food for yeast, sugar alters the rate of fermentation. Up to 5 percent sugar speeds up fermentation. Over 5 percent begins to slow it down, however.

Second, it increases crust browning. This could allow a pizzeria to have a shorter bake time or a lower oven temperature. However, keep in mind that bake time must be long enough to insure full internal doneness, especially of that part of dough which contacts the sauce.

Third, it enhances flavor and aroma.

Fourth, white sugar produces a softer, whiter internal texture or crumb. This occurs because sugar delays the coagula­tion of gluten and gelatinization of starch during baking—in effect, causing the crumb to be “less baked” which, in turn, makes it more tender.

Fifth, it increases a product’s shelf life by increasing its moisture retention. For pizzas that are eaten immedi­ately, that’s of little concern.

In conclusion, each of the above conditions can be either an advantage or a draw­back depending on what you want in your dough and crust.

I dint fold the edges. without the sauce and toppings (which is heavy) and i poke some holes using a fork on the inner part, the dough on the side will rise up during baking.

I baked my pizza at 220C for 10-12 minutes only.

If you want to to be a bit hard on the bottom, try putting some oil on the pan before you lay the dough on it. butter can be used but it browns much faster than oil.

I only need to knead mine for 10 minutes instead of 20

Noted.

I'll try Italian Pizza next week

since you are at UK, try baking them on the pizza stone. it's easy to get at US but non existence in Malaysia. I believe UK have them

Here
if you're interested in pizza try googling for Encyclopizza
it's a great website to learn about pizza

Great presentation you got there

Hopefully this sunday I'll have time to make the Italian pizza
but what's for sure is Bah Kut Teh is in the Saturday Lunch Menu

should it suppose to be flat?
as I know there's no baking powder or soda being used for this recipe
just mixing it to let air in for the volume

Hi guys/gals,

Making Italian Pizza, Panna Cotta and Grilled Leg of Lamb Steak this weekend.
Any tips on the Panna Cotta? 1st time making it

I did the lunch aledi.. The pizza dint turn out to be as I expected. Edible but just not the textur I'm looking for.

The amount of time should be the same. Just like if you are frying 2 eggs using the same pan. Side by side that is

never tried that before but is that vegetarian sauce?

Never order or tasted that
But based on the description given try this

Sauce
2 cloves Garlic zest
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
200ml Double or whipping cream

Add 2 tablespoon of water and garlic to sauce pan. On medium heat when water almost dry up, add cream then add salt and pepper to taste

Topping (as per dominos website)
Onion
Mushroom
Pineapple
Green pepper

Pizza dough
Mozzarella cheese

Just an advice, slowly add the milk by small batches to avoid lump created by the mixture of flour and oil

Pie dough is very hard to do

Best is use cold butter, cold flour and cold water. Try use dough mixer instead of using hand

Double confirm the dough recipe. Smetimes you need to check out the baker percentage of a few recipe to get you an idea. Smetimes some recipe is out from the norm

I think it will be as great as tho curry puff wth chicken meat and eggs. Should taste great

I tried to find also but it's not available. Bt most commonly is by removing those larger bones eg drumstick, tight bones first before cutting them to smaller portion.
