Pepperoni Pizza- Homemade Recipe

After so long tak update blog ni, hari ni nak buat n3 sikit la pasal dinner kami ber3 mlm tadi- Pepperoni Pizza- Homemade Recipe. Sejak dua menjak- yakni sejak oven breadmaker tu ala2 buat perangai aku try menguli roti pakai kederat aku yg tak seberapa ni hah. Lah..rupa2nya tak la susah mana. Lagi cepat as compared to breadmaker. Makanya starting from that day sampai la la ni, tulang 4 kerat ni la yg akak guna untuk menguli doh...happy la sangat2. U all should try tau. Best sangat dan bila kita yg sekali sekala makan pizza ni buat pizza secara tak langsung dapat menerujakan seisi rumah tangga. Tak percaya try la!!!! Ok recipe kat bawah ni adalah copy paste dari recipe from breadmaker tu. So simple, doh pun lembut dan seneng banget.....

Pizza Base/ Doh Pizza untuk 4 keping pizza
41/2 cwn tpg roti
2sdt yis
2sdb susu tepung
2sdb gula
1sdt garam
12/3 air
2sdb minyak (saya pakai olive oil)

Cara2:
Masukkan bahan2 kering ikut turutan, elakkan yis terkena garam, bukan setakat pengsan yis tu terus x hidup. Adukkan supaya semua bebahan tu serata then buat lubang kat tengah2 masukkan air dan olive oil.
Lepas tu guna hujung jari kaiskan tepung keliling air sikit demi sikit sampai la tergaul semuanya, then uli hingga la doh tu tak melekat kat tangan dan bekas adunan. Tutup dgn aluminium foil or cling film selama kira2 1 jam atau hingga double the size.
Then tumbuk2 adunan tu utk keluarkan angin dan bahagikan kepada 2 bhgn, then bahagikan lagi setiap satu bahagian tu kepada 2 lagi. Bulat2kan.
Ambil papan canai taburkan tepung gamdum atau tpg roti dan canaikan doh tu hingga agak2 8- 9 inci, ikut acuan andalah. Tapi kalau pakai tray oven tu pun boleh jugak so pizza anda jadi rectangle lah...
Ratakan sos pizza, mozzarella, topping, mozarella lagi dah siap utk di bakar pada suhu 175C selama 20minit.

Resipi Basic Pizza Sauce ala CheZaid:
1 tin kecil tomato puree (concentrated)
1 tin besar tomato puree yg agak cair
***bezanya satu tin kecil tu sgt2 pekat utk bagi kaler sos tu cantik, manakala tin yg agak besar (mcm size tin susu pekat tu) kaler dia agak cair.
1sdt pizza seasoning- boleh di beli di kedai bakery supplies
1 helai bay leaf
1/2 labu bawang besar- didadukan
1/2sdt black pepper- di tumbuk halus
Garam, gula dan parmesan cheese secukup rasa.
Olive oil utk menumis

1. Tumiskan bawang besar dgn pizza seasoning hingga naik bau.
2. Masukkan tomato puree kedua2nya sekali, masukkan garam, gula, black pepper dan bay leaf. Masak hingga mendidih dan sedia utk digunakan dengan pelbagai topping lain mengikut citarasa anda.
Selamat mencuba!!!!

Fettucine with Baked Meatballs Carbonara

Hmm..its quite sometimes I'm not into cooking & photographing..somemore battery camera pun dah kong..so, yesterday I planned to cook something for dinner, taddaaaaaa..something which my children love to eat..kalau boleh hari2 pun x pa..since the father not around its ok for me to cook ala' western. Kalau abah depa ada kena tanya dulu la nak makan apa kan..pasta is not in his list anyway..kalau my children plus mommy depa ni pasta mmg menjadi pojaan perut kami...hehehehe..At first I just wanted to make Baked Meatballs Carbonara..mcm kat Pizza Hut.
Tapi Mummy make some value added to the dish, I cooked some fettucine and served with the meatballs, so kenyang sikit la perut budak2 tu.

After we having the dinner, the father called. Bila tanya makan apa, I said meatballs and pasta and he said "eh kenapa masa abang ada kat rumah tak penah buat pun?'

'Nanti buat lagi macam kat IKEA tu'

Owh I never know you like it...hmm yg IKEA tu sauce dia lain la pulak kan...kalau macam tu nak kena p IKEA dulu le ni nak kena ambik feel..hahahhahahaha..

Anyway, sorry I don't have specific measurement, semua main taram je...ikut my instinct..kalau termasin ke..tersedap ke..thats my instinct to be blamed or to give the credit. Anyway, the basic ingredients for Baked Meatballs Carbonara as below:

Meatballs:
Tender meat
1/2 onion- cut
1 carrot
Salt
Sugar
Worchestershire sauce
Pepper
1 egg
Breadcrumbs
Oregano- dried
*You also can put 1 tbsp of tomato ketchup if u like- but this time I didn't
Put all ingredients into food processor, blist off then make it as balls.
Fry them and toss.

*I get this recipe from dapur 'Salam 2Benua'. Thx to LG, i've been using your recipe quite sometimes.

Carbonara:
Tumis bawang besar- dipotong kasar dgn dried oregano. Then masukkan whipping cream agak2 dalam 1/4 kotak kecil, then masukkan fresh milk about 11/2 cwn atau sebanyak mana kuah yg anda inginkan, stir until you get the consistency, kalau terlalu cair tambahkan whipping cream, then masukkan salt, pepper, parmesan cheese and chicken stock. Bila rasa dah ok, remove from fire the masukkan ke dalam ovenproof dish. Then masukkan meatballs tadi, taburkan dgn grated mozarella generously, cooked in preheated oven at 170deg or higher for 15min or sampai nampak cheese melts. Then served with fettucine yg dah di rebus terlebih dahulu.
Amacam..mau cuba??? Cubalah...

Chicken Chop with Mushroom sauce

Our dinner last nite was as above. I bought the boneless chicken thighs from the nearest wet market. Actually I requested it to be boneless, pakcik yg jual ayam tu tau je cemana nak buat kan..so dia buang tulang tu mcm cantik je isi..if I did it on my own rasanya hancurla isi ayam tu gamaknya. He's the expert anyway. The idea utk buat chicken chop tu mmg dah dari weekend hari tu la..Resipi tak tengok memana main taram je la..so, if u all wish to follow..and kalau sedap ok la tu..if not..u guys must search for other recipe la..

So, how I did was like below:
1. Clean up the boneless chicken thigh, then marinate with a dash of salt, pepper(ground), paprika (ground) and Lea & Perrins( quite generous). Rub thoroughly.
2. Beat 2 eggs in separate bowl, then put the bread crumbs and flour in another separate bowl.
3. Heat up the oil in your wok or any of your pan for deep frying, then get the marinated thigh and coated with the beaten egg, then into the flour then coat with the bread crumbs.
4. Fry till cook and golden brown.

*Ready to serve with fries/ wedges, salad etc.

My mushroom sauce is the simple version but according to my tastebud its tasty..hehehhehe..sapa lagi nak puji kakakaka..
1/2 labu bawang besar- di potong kiub
5-6 biji cendawan butang- di hiris nipis- separuh lagi di hancurkan
sedikit tpg gandum
stok ayam
1 bj kiub ayam
Lea & Perrins
Garam secukup rasa
sedikit mentega
air

Cara2:
Panaskan butter hingga mencair, kemudian tumis bawang besar hingga naik bau.
Kalau suka boleh tambah oregano yg kasar.
Kemudian masukkan tpg gandum kacau hingga kecoklatan, then masukkan stok ayam dan kiub ayam. Masukkan cendawan butang. Sos L&P dan garam secukup rasa.
Dah mendidih tutup api dan hidang.

Cuma part topping tu semacam ada crust pulak coz I topped with cheese and breadcrumb.

Dinner, Friday Feb 20, 2009

On last Friday my husband cakap dia akan balik lambat coz ada meeting petang, then tk makan kt rumah. So, I asked my kids, of course la si kakak tu kan. Dia cakap nak makan pasta. Yahooo!! senang keja aku. As usual mesti ala2 carbonara la..both of them like it very much. Jarang sgt buat bolognaise ke..baked ke..pasai depa tak berapa suka.

So, ni le dinner kitorang 3 beranak- Fettucine with seafood carbonara. Cara membuatnya mudah dan cepat, dah tu creamy that's why my dotters suka.

Bahan2:

Olive oil utk menumis

1 labu bwg besar kuning di potong dadu

Oregano yg kasar

Lada hitam ditumbuk

Whipping cream

Fresh milk

Seafood- their favorite is clamp

Kiub ayam

Garam

Parmesan cheese- optional

Fresh button mushroom- optional

Cara2:

1. Tumis bawang besar dgn olive oil, then masukkan oregano.

2. Dah wangi, tuang whipping cream and fresh milk. Agak2 sendiri tapi to get creamy sauce whipping cream kena lebih sikit dari fresh milk.

3. Masukkan kiub ayam seketul, then garam, lada hitam and seafood. Bring to boil sekejap. Masukkan button mushroom, sementara tu kacau selalu kalau tak nnt jd mcm kepala cream..kalau nak taste dia kuat sikit, masukkan parmesan cheese. Then bila kuah dah pekat, tutup api dan serve with any pasta you like.

Tea break

Semalam since kitorang tdo kt my MIL's house, kene la rajin masuk dapo kan. Kat sini makan complete sungguh, breakfast, lunch and tea time. Asyik medang dgn mangan je lah. Nasib bek supper tak payah buat. So sebab dah boring makan melayu, aku introduce kat kt mak pak mentua ku makan ala2 western. Tak la Western mana pun cuma buat hotdog je pun tp open style- so I named it "Open Sausages". My husband suka la..coz I made some coleslaw, buat wedges which I made from scratch, so dpt makan kentang fresh la and then the presentation tu lain dr biasa.

So, the hotdog bun cut into 2, then put the coleslaw, half the sausages and put some tomatoes n cucumber.
