14th Fast…More Pizza?
Not much excitement…
Since the plumber was coming, I had to be up at an unreasonably early hour (9 am…hehe) and so didn’t bother go back to sleep after Fajr (early morning prayer after Suhur) and Qur’an reading.
So, I decided to make ice-cream. I’ll edit it the links later. I had plans of making dulce de leche ice cream and a chooclate ice cream mixture that would stay in the fridge a day until the bowl was frozen once again.
Well, it took forever with the condensed milk and I’m still not sure it counts as dulce de leche. I’m pretty sure the ice cream is just “condensed milk ice cream” but then I’m a HUGE fan of condensed milk so, what’s the problem? ;-)
And with all the switching the pump off, switching the pump on, being rather hazy, I didn’t bother making chocolate. And mom came home, feeling terrible.
I cleaned up and grated cheese for the pizza we prepped last night. Yup five pizzas! Two beef, one pineapple, one mushroom and one pesto/olive/feta. We will bake them tonight or today for when my big sister and her family gets here to overnight on their way to the UK for the year.
Yeah. We gonna miss them.
Alot.
*sob*
Monday 15 September, Ramadan 14: Suhur:
I had the last Peter Reinhart bagel (it was in the freezer) with cream cheese and also some toasted dhalpuri (made by mom, nicely seasoned) with water and such. Parents might’ve had dhalpuri with avocado.
Monday 15 September, Ramadan 15: Iftar:
Leftover saheena from my masjid’s iftar and water. Mom had food.
And three hours later, before we made the pizza, I had whole wheat sliced bread (kiss!) and cream cheese and blueberry preserves. And tepid milky sweet tea. And water.

Salaam,
Have you posted the actual pizza recipe? The dough I mean… I haven’t made a pizza base I have been satisfied with to date. :(

i don’t think i posted it but it’s a peter reinhart bread baker’s apprentice recipe and it’s REALLY LONG
it’s been posted here.
i have tried alton brown’s and i like it, here and here
also, i wanna try rose levy beranbaum’s and decide what’s my fave
i like this one but maybe i roll it too thin ;-)
i made like 32 8oz crusts and stored them in the freezer for these extravaganzas
i’m now done to about half that…

after some thought, I think I like Alton’s recipe better than reinhart’s – it seems like we tasted the crust or maybe we need to make somewhat smaller and thicker pizzas…what do you think?

thank you for posting what was in my head and didn’t come right out and say (i almost did but hours passed between meaning to reply and actually replying).
but i have about 14-16 more crusts under less rushed circumstances so we shall see
i was thinking i roll it out too thin, too thin to know for sure which is preferable
it’s that trying for big pizzas…we have set ideas in our head how big the pizza should be and it’s hard to deviate
so the next batch, i’ll try to make them smaller…and not so thin
and we’ll see
because i remember, the difference between alton’s and naps was so very noticeable and startling and good
this, i’m not so sure..it’s like a thin lining on the bottom…

but you haven’t tasted it…

UPDATE – the pineapple pizza had enough crust on it for me to get a taste. And I like it, it was chewy and had flavour. But just one edge, so will need more at that thickness to test.

yeah the meat pizzas were like…only meat with a thin casing of something
the mushroom too thin
pineapple JUST RIGHT
oh lord…goldilocks
next time i will try it right
if u want u can take a crust or two back to guyana with you :-p

oh, re dulce de leche – that’s a tin of dulce de leche true, but that’s not the only way to get it…I believe Lilandra was using the method of transforming the condensed milk INTO dulce de leche BEFORE making ice cream

duh

Well like most things we want in our necl of the woods, we either make it or buy it and since we cannot get Nestle’s Dulce de leche to purchase in Trinidad then we do like lilandra and make it…… hours in the microwave boiling down (lol)
