PIZZA FOR BIRTHDAY



I wanted to bake another cake for the birthday boy but he requested that i make pizza instead.

I've made a chocolate cake last week end when both of the twins were around.

Fortunately...rahim is still around enjoying another week of semester break.





Usually i will bake the pizza dough for 6-10 mins before filling up the top.









This was my second attempt of using my built-in oven teka, after 6 years of having it as a show item....dahsyat kan!.

The first attempt was about 3 years ago....

I've been so comfortable using my panasonic convention oven until days ago it stop functioning due to a freak of lightning. I've yet to repair.... 











Well...dont worry rasyid...i'll bake one for you later.
After all you had sushi for your birthday....a treat from sis dira.


Something to share with you peeps;

I love this recipe and it really works wonder!

PIZZA DOUGH

2 1/4 tsp dry yeast }
1 1/2 cup warm water} combine for 5 mins.until
1 tsp sugar         } frothy.

3 1/2 cup bread flour /all purpose flour
2 tlbs olive oil 
1 tsp salt

Combine yeast mixture to the flour,oil & salt in the cake mixer with hooks until thorough.
Dont worry if it is soggy.
Cover the dough for 1 hr or more until it double in size.

Top the pizza dough with sauce or any toppings you like & bake them in about 180-190c.



So have a nice weekends.... 
& happy trying!

MORE OF BED SHEETS...PILLOW CASES N CUSHIONS.


Just as i had promised...i luv to show you peeps on how to cut the material of the bed sheet n cushions.

Actually it's very simple but to be on the safe side...i took out the hem of an old bedsheet n cut the material according to the length n breadth of it.



cut (L) at every four corners.





Next...you join the (L) of every corners.




And once you've sewn the four edges...just sew the upper n below the bed sheet with rubber strings...n walla you've got yourself a bed sheet!










since i have so much extra material....got me two different design of pillow cases.


I bought the english cotton at one of the shop selling at sales price!

I managed to buy only two materials...should have bought more....



AND
SOME OF MY CUSHIONS


































Got some of the remnants material from sis iha.


I love doing things with my own handwork...
but...my dear hubby commented that one of these days some of the shops might even close cos' having people like me....love the do-it yourself thing... hehehe!

Should i take that as a compliment or otherwise....

STRAWBERRY CHEESE CAKE


It's true when they say absence makes your heart grow fonder....

Just like me...n my children...

Eversince they left the house my motherly feelings are even more stronger....

Though i meet some of them quite often but it's never enough...the parting always makes me sad....

Just like last weekends...when dira n rasyid were back for four days.

I was overjoyed...for i could spend more time with them but the goodbyes had left me...sad n lonely....

And it takes awhile to accept it....

Anyway...one of the things that will make me HAPPY is to capture the moments of what we've done together... or... what i've cooked for them!

I will treasure these pictures forever....

And the memories of the little things will either make me...sigh of unpleasantness or smile of happiness...

So now...i guess u peeps already know what i'm making for their homecoming...
Well it's strawberry cheese cake...!

Let's make something different this time....


It's beautifully...n...deliciously done!...*wink*


Opppsss!...i'm not promoting ya...n neither am i selling!

It's my way of appreciating things....hehehe!





alamak...i over baked it for ten minutes.....arggh!










but still... it taste good!




it maybe rich...but once in awhile wont do any harm....







Yeay...it's a wholesome of goodness!!
