27/3/2015 Happy Friday

What a happy for a ftwm on the last working day of the week....

Recently I always missed out the alarm but self-awake at 5am. Maybe I am really tired already. i was sitting at the dining area and looking at the bunch of recipe print outs, finally decide to bake an express pizza, potato rings & sticks and raisin butter rice.

Surprisingly the pizza is really yummy and this is the first time i bake pizza for my 20mo lo. I really hope she will like it.

1 tbsp full cream milk

Pizza topping~
4 tbsp (STEAM for 10mins) frozen mix vegetables (carrot, garden pea, sweet corn) (i used fresh carrot, frozen pea & fresh sweet corn)
1/2 slice of ham (optional, can omit if do not have)
some grated cheddar cheese
2 tsp pure tomato paste (i do not have it, i used maggi tomato sauce)

steps:
1) add butter into the flour and rub till bread crumbs stage
2) slowly add in milk to form a soft dough (can stop adding if dough is formed)
3) divide dough into 4 portions
4) roll into ball shape then press into flat
5) shredded 1 layer of cheddar cheese on the flat dough
6) spread 1 tbsp of the mix vegetables on each pizza flat dough
7) put 1/2 tsp tomato sauce on each mini pizza
8) lastly shredded another layer of cheddar cheese on top of the mix vegetables
9) bake at pre-heated oven of 180'C for 10 mins
