Today was a great day. Ashley and I were placed on lunch service. That meant that we made lunch for the entire class at the end of our day with whatever ingredients we could find in the kitchen. I had the idea to make pizza for everyone. Not that I am a big fan of all the wheat, (and not that I would really eat much of it), but I really wanted to practice making pizza dough and getting more familiar with the process. The chef agreed to the idea and I went to work right away. For the dough, I used a recipe from our bread making class, a standard thin pizza crust dough. The baking class chef had some extra pizza sauce and toppings available from their pizza making day which made the process even easier...All I had to concentrate on was really perfecting my dough. We trippled the recipe and made the dough, let it rest and rise and then shaped it in half size baking sheets. I made 7 pizzas which all came out pretty amazing if I can say so myself!
I am a student at the Kitchen Academy too. I think what you did with your experience is phenomenal!!! This website is great... have you shown the chefs?
