Pineapple Tart

November 8, 2017 chinesetuition88 Leave a comment

My husband wanted to eat pineapple tart. So I bought pineapple paste from the supermarket. 1 kg a pack.

1. Divide pineapple paste into small balls. Around 6 g each.

2. In a bowl cream 325g butter ( softened) with 25g icing sugar.

3. Then add in 2 egg yolks, 2 tablespoon milk and 1/4 tsp vanilla. Mix well.

4. Add in 450g flour. Mix with hand till just combined.

5. Divide the dough into small balls. Around 10 g each.

6. Flaten the dough ball in hand. Put pineapple paste ball in the middle. Then wrap it up and roll between palms to make it into ball shape. ( for me, there were still some pineapple paste left).

7. Preheat oven to 180 degree C. Egg wash them and bake for 15-20 mins.

8. Egg wash them again and bake fore another 5 mins to get darker color.

So soft and melt immediately in your mouth.

My husband suggests me to open a shop and sell them. 🙂

I guess Hawaiian pizza should be the most controversial one due to the controversial ingredient – pineapple.

Simple Pizza

October 5, 2017 chinesetuition88 4 Comments

I couldn’t remember how many times I have made pizza. Because it’s really simple and convenient. All I just need to do is prepare dough in the morning or before I go out. In the afternoon when I get home, I can easily make pizza with prepared dough. And it only takes around 20 mins. Super quick and delicious as well. My husband is also a pizza fan. So every time I make pizza for dinner, he’s as happy as a child.

You can refer to:

For the pizza dough.

Since my “rich experience” in pizza, I can make dough without and measurement. I just mix some flour, a little olive oil, salt, sugar and yeast in a large bowl. Then stir flour mixture with chopsticks and add into water at the same time. Stop pouring water when big flour lumps appear. Then use hand to make all ingredients into a big dough. Drizzle a little extra olive oil on the dough. Spread evenly on dough’s surface with hand. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Let it rise till 2 times big.

Preheat oven to 200 degree C.

Press dough into a pizza pan. I always use my skillet. Then poke with fork. Brush tomato sauce. Sprinkle a little cheese. Then cherry tomatoes ( chopped into halves) and black olive slices. Then spread extra cheese.

Into the oven and bake for 15-20 mins.

Serve with some basil leaves on it.

I have made this simple pizza for many times.
