Steak Night

Matt's Julia's


Well on Sunday we usually have steak and Matt does the cooking, he is very proud of his meal so wanted me to post them to you. We have steak, an egg, homemade chips with a bit of cheese and Matt also has a mushroom sauce on his and this time some fried onion.

Kiwi Pigs in a Blanket

Well since we don't have packaged dough like there is in America or little cocktail sausages I have found a way to make a version of pigs in a blanket.

Ingredients
Sizzlers
Puff pastry
cheese

Place sizzler and a bit of grated cheese on puff pastry and roll dough around sizzler. Bake at 180F/350C or whatever the package for the pastry says. Once pastry is cooked it is done.

Pizza

I have found a pizza dough recipe I like, it is really easy and one batch can be stretched out to make a few different pizzas.

Ingredients
1 package yeast
pinch of sugar
1 cup warm water

3 cups Flour
1 tsp salt
1tbls oil

Combine the first three ingredients until the yeast gets nice and frothy. Add to the flour, salt and oil. Combine to make a dough and knead until it is not sticky. Let rise for at least 30 minutes or until doubled in size. I usually make it ahead of time and it rises alot but that is fine as well. Beat down and kneed a bit.

Now you can divide dough into however much you like. I made 3 pizzas and a few pizza rolls with one batch, but they weren't huge pizzas or too thick, you can always make it thicker if you like, just make sure the counter is nice and floured. Bake at 420F/220C for about 10-15 minutes until nice and melted and golden.

Here are some pictures of our latest creations.



Pepperoni Rolls, roll out place pepperoni, and mozzerella and roll up. I like to put olive oil and garlic salt on the outside.
