PIZZA

A simple, homemade pizza - all made from scratch. Please use good toppings (especially NOT cheap cheese) and you will have a pizza that is so much better than anything you can buy frozen. You have to pre-heat your oven to full whack - whatever it is willing to give you - and have it run at full pelt for at least 15 minutes before putting your pizza in. based on 3711 reviews

As this web site can calculate ingredient amounts for both Metric and US visitors and for any amount of persons, some measures may appear a bit odd at times. We do round and try to be as clever as we can with the calculations... If you have any ideas on improving this system, we would like your comments on our contact page.

Choose whatever you like - salami, vegetables, cheeses, anchovies, ... just don't overdo it if you don't want a soggy pizza.

Method
Pizza Base
Dissolve your dried yeast and sugar in a bit of your lukewarm water and stir well. Let the yeast sit for 20 minutes. Sift the flour, add the olive oil and the salt to it, and then the yeast and the rest of the water. Knead well - this takes 10 to 15 minutes! Then let the dough sit for 2 hours to prove. Knead again, roll out and it's ready to use. Bake your pizza in the oven at maximum temperature. Yes, that's full whack. A pizza oven does 350 C, so if your oven does less (and it does), crank it up to the max.

Pizzaiola
Chop the onions and garlic, fry them in olive oil until translucent. Then add the spices and tomatoes. Let it simmer for half an hour to reduce the water content, then take a blender to it and let it cool down.

Step-by-Step Instructions
Pizza Base

Put your flour in a bowl. In this picture, it isn't sifted yet. Sift the flour.

Mix the yeast with the sugar and 50ml of your lukewarm water and stir, then let it sit for 10 to 20 minutes until it develops foam on top.

Add the olive oil and salt to the flour.

This is what the yeast will look like after 10 minutes. Now add the yeast to the flour, oil and salt and add the rest of the lukewarm water. Mix with your hands and knead until you have a smooth dough ... this will take a good 10 minutes hard work!

This is what the kneaded dough looks like. If you have any leftover dough, you can easily freeze it in a plastic freezer bag. To thaw it, just leave the bag outside the freezer for a couple of hours and use as normal.

Cover the dough with a clean, dry dish towel and let it prove for 2 hours.

This is what the dough looks like when it has risen.

Take a piece of dough and pat into a round shape as seen here.

You can either roll out the dough or pat it on to your pizza dish or baking tray. If you can fling it into the air and turn it, please give me lessons on how to do that!

Pizzaiola

Chop the onions and garlic, fry in olive oil, and add the tomatoes and spices. Let simmer for half an hour to reduce the water content. Then take a blender to it and let it cool down.

Spread the pizzaiola on your base - best done by putting a blob into the middle and then moving the pan quickly back and forth. Or just use a tablespoon to spread it.

Put on your toppings. Don't overdo it - stick to 2 or three toppings and don't put too much on. An overloaded pizza will get soggy.

Put on your cheese. I love mozzarella, but it is entirely up to you what you want to use. Cheddar works quite well, too. Or mix some cheeses - e.g. mozzarella and stilton.

Put the pizza into your pre-heated oven (heat up to the maximum whatever your oven is capable of doing!). After roughly 12 minutes, the pizza is done

PROBLEM SOLVING1. Miss Roxas bought 20 blouses for P1800 and marked them to sell at P110 each. After selling 16 piecesat this rate, she decided to sell the remaining blouses at a lower price. At what price may she sell eachremaining blouse and still realize a gross prof Solution: it of P360 on the 20 blouses?1. P1002. P1053. P1104. P1155. P120 No. of Blouses Bought = 20Original Price for 20 Blouses = 1800Original Price Per Blouse = 1800 / 20 = P 90Selling Price Per Blouse = P 110Gross Profit Per Blouse = Selling Price Original Price = 20Gross Profit After Selling 16 pieces = No. of Blouse x Gross Profit per Blouse= 16 x P 20= P 320 No. of Blouses Left = 20 16 = 4Goal: Gross Profit = P 360 Needed Gross to get goal gross profit = Goal Gross Profit Gross Profit for 16 pieces= P 360 P 320= 40 Needed Gross Per Blouse (for the 4 blouses) = P 40 / 4 = 10Selling Price Per Blouse (for the 4 Blouses) = Original Price Per Blouse + Needed Gross per Blouse= 90 + 10 = P100 2.The Philippines and 19 other Asian nations decide to cut their oil consumption by two million barrels aday.

A development project which was financed by ecological organizations amounted to P 3.6 million. If there had been two more contributors, and the expenses were shared equally, it would have cost eachorganization P300,000 less. How many organizations contributed to the project?1. 32. 43. 64. 95. 12

Solution: Let x be the number of organizationLet y be the amount per organizationProblem: Find x Solution 1: using elimination of the multiple choices by substitution Equation 1: xy = 3,600,000Equation 2: (x+2)(y-300,000) = 3,600,000 Choice 1: x = 3 Equation 1: 3y = 3,600,000y = 1,200,000Equation 2: (x+2)(y-300,000) = 3,600,000(3+2) (y300,000) = 3,600,000(5)(y-300,000) = 3,600,000(y-300,000) = 3,600,000/5(y-300,000) = 720,000y = 1,020,000y in equation 1 and 2 is not equal therefore, choice 1 is not the answer. Choice 2: x = 4 Equation 1: 4y = 3,600,000y = 900,000Equation 2: (x+2)(y-300,000) = 3,600,000(4+2) (y300,000) = 3,600,000(6)(y-300,000) = 3,600,000(y-300,000) = 3,600,000/6(y-300,000) = 600,000y = 900,000y in equation 1 and 2 is not equal therefore, choice 2 is the answer. Solution 2: using algebra convention
