I wrote this blog post in real time, but it isn’t published before now… Feels weird to see this, since I’m on a diet right now where I can’t eat bread at all :bjorngrate: Or, I can, but I have to be very careful about it. Gosh, I miss pizza like this so much I like the benefits I get from the diet, but sadly I have to say that I love pizza more.  I was thinking a thousand times to not post this because it’s kind of a self torture, but then – pizza is sooo good and this is something to share for you who can eat bread! Oh well, I will not fuck up such a happy post I wrote long time ago with my emo-ness from today. LOL

THIS IS HOW WE ROLL PIZZA DOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Why buy a rolling pin to flatten pizza dough if you can use this fantastic vodka bottle????!!!!!!!! You can see my flatmate L’s hand (by the way, he at first wants to be called Lunken Banan on my blog but I don’t  know…………………………) on the right. He’s so greedy that he couldn’t even stop with his greedy actions (aka put on stuff) on his pizza for my picture! It was horrible to flatten the dough with this bottle, though. I managed to spill some vodka in my dough too………….

Well, I have a rolling pin. Actually two. But some people don’t give back things when they’re borrowing, so I guess I’ll never see them again anyways! :bjornblunk:

BUT.

That wasn’t what I wanted to blog about.

You’re a super weirdo if you haven’t noticed that I love food (unless this is your first time reading my blog), and not very surprisingly I also enjoy to cook. Not only does it save you a lot of money, but you can decide what ingredients you want to use. You have 100% control in what you put in your mouth, something you don’t always have when you’re eating fastfood. It takes some time though – and it can be a huge mess if you don’t have full control. But I like cooking and I don’t mind the little extra cleaning so I don’t mind spending my free time on it!

On this day L and I had homemade pizzas! We’re having very different taste so we rarely cook something together. But (almost!) everyone like pizza – you can add whatever you like on it.

L is……. not exactly a super skilled chef………. But he is one of the few guys I know that are willing to learn to cook food from the scratch. Most guys order their pizzas. Or, when they want to ~cook~ they put a frozen pizza in the oven. And if they feel like being Gordon Ramsay, they buy a pizza dough and add sauce and everything they have in their fridge. But rarely make a pizza from the scratch.

So, kudos to L that wants to learn to cook food from the scratch! Boys, if you want to impress a girl; going out to a fancy restaurant is nice, but cooking something nice all by yourself is even better! Besides, everyone can take us to a restaurant, so casual and boring!!

What I had on my pizza: olives, leek, gouda cheese, champignon, marinated chicken, bacon and homemade pizza sauce. Spices and herbs: a little pepper, oregano and a liiiittle basil. As you can see, not very much of each thing - but the food taste so much better if you give each ingredients a chance to be tasted! If you're curious about what L had on his pizza, you can see a little of it in the first picture!

I doubt that you are, but just in case some of you enjoy cooking and maybe are interested in my pizza dough and sauce recipe; I’ll share it here. Most for my own sake since it will be a lot easier to get it when I don’t have my cookbook with me. You’ll notice that my recipes are very easy to follow and have few ingredients. I like simple food the best – I don’t get how people can enjoy the tastes if there is too much stuff going on at once.

Ah, and of course, I’m such a coward that don’t dare to translate it to English because my English is too weak I don’t want anyone to blame me if their kitchen explode, so I better play safe. So here it is in Norwegian, translate with a translator yourself if you are desperate enough after these pizza recipes!

Hverken tynn eller tykk pizzabunn (2 små pizzaer)

halv pakke tørrgjær
7 dl hvetemel (bytt gjerne ut så mye du vil av dette til sammalt hvetemel for en grovere variant!!)
2,5 dl lunkent vann
1 ts salt

Må inrømme at jeg blir litt flau av å poste min fremgangsmåte, da jeg ikke husker noenting om gjørbakst fra heimkunnskap. Men jeg gjør det altså så simpelt som å blande ut gjæret i det kroppstempererte vannet, deretter blandet det med salt og til slutt mel.

Hvil hele greia i en bolle (tildekket!) i 30-40 minutter. I de 30-40 minuttene pleier jeg å lage pizza-sausen, perfekt tid til det!

Når deigen har hvilt skal den deles i to og kjevles veldig tynne. Ha på pizzasaus og fyll. Stekes på 250 grader i 7-10 minutter, eller helt til bunnen ser gyllen ut.

Enkel pizzasaus

3-4 tomater
1-2 ss tomatpuré (avhengig av hvor mye du digger tomatsmaken!)
3-4 fedd hvitløk
1 grovhakket løk
1 ts oregano
salt og pepper

Kok tomatene i vann i ett minutt, slik at skinnet kan dras av. Del tomatene i terning og putt terningene i kaserolle sammen med tomatpuré, finhakket hvitløk, finhakket løk og oregani. Kok opp på middels varme, tilsett salt og pepper etter smak. Kokes til ønsket konsistens!
