Parmesan Thin Crust Pizza Dough Recipe

Monday, July 27th, 2009

Hope you enjoy this great recipe from one of my good friends! He’s a great cook and this recipe adds a tasty twist to a family favourite!

He uses a fancy bread-making machine and pizza stone, but you can just as easily use the ordinary kitchen benchtop kneading method.

It’s great to get the kids to help!

Dough-tastic!

Dough-tastic!

Makes 1 large pizza.

Ingredients:

2/3 cup of warm water

2 cups flour

1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan

1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

1/3 tsp salt

2 tsps yeast (active)

Directions:

Add all the ingredients in the bowl of a bread-making machine (or just knead together!)

Mix according to the machine’s instructions for a dough setting or get your knuckles into it! (Now is the time to get your little chefs helping!)

In the meantime, preheat your oven to 230 C (450 F) for 30 mins

Prepare your most loved toppings!

When the bread machine (or kneading!) is done, take out the dough and put on a lightly oiled surface.

Then knead the dough several times and make the dough into an oval.

Place a clean tea-towel over it and let rest for 10 mins.

Roll and stretch the dough into a couple of circles.

Place the dough on the prepared (lightly oiled) metal pizza trays – you can get pizza trays here.

Brush the dough with some olive oil and layer on your fave ingredients!

Bake for approx 15 mins or until brown on the bottom and the top is bubbling.

Too easy and tasty cheesy!

Beat the Global Financial Crisis with a DIY Kids Cooking Party Kit!

Sunday, April 19th, 2009

It seems that the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) is having an impact on everything!

Beat the Global Financial Crisis!

Beat the Global Financial Crisis!

With the household budget being increasingly challenged, Wholesome Productions has the answer to make sure all the doom and gloom does not extend to your children’s fun!

There is no doubt that kids birthday parties and group activities can be expensive. The cost of hiring clowns, a mobile petting zoo or bouncy castles can be prohibitive for many.

But now there’s no need for your children to miss out, in fact there is a simple answer to throwing a memorable and fun kids party for a very reasonable cost.

You can host your own DIY Kids Cooking Party using one of the specially designed kits designed by Wholesome Productions.

If you look at the cost per child, our kits can work out from under AUD $13 per child.

And here’s the bonus, each child gets to take home items such as a Chef’s Hat, Apron or other cooking utensils (depending on kit selected) – so the price basically includes the party bag goodies too!

Plus, all the children get to bake tasty treats such as Pizza or Cookies while learning kitchen skills and about good health and nutrition.

Check out our DIY Kids Cooking Party Kits here and all of the other kids cooking kits, party decorations and cookware on our online store.

Forget the GFC and ensure children can still have fun!
