MINI HOMEMADE PIZZA TO GO/ KIDS SCHOOL SNACK IDEA

Mini Pizzas served with Carrots and Avocado.

2+1/2 cups All purpose flour
1/2 cup warm water
1/2 cup warm milk (optional)
2 tbsp granulated sugar
2 tbsp sunflower oil
1 tsp quick rising yeast
Pinch of salt

DIRECTIONS

In a deep dry bowl, add all the dry ingredients stir properly, add the oil then start adding the water/milk a little at a time while mixing (you can use your hand if you do not have a mixer) mix dough until everything is well combined and dough is smooth and stretchy.

Spray some oil in a bowl place the dough in the bowl and spray with some oil. Cover with cling film and a tea towel and leave in a dark place to rise for 45-50 minutes (I normally leave it in the oven or inside a cupboard while I prepare the pizza sauce)

INGREDIENTS FOR PIZZA SAUCE

2 tins chopped tomatoes
2 tbsp tomato puree
Onions
1 tsp cornflour
1 tsp lemon juice
Sunflower oil
Basil
Parsley

DIRECTIONS

Place a sauce pan on medium-high heat, add a little bit of oil about 2 tbsp, add onion and fry until soft, add chopped tomatoes, fry for 15 minutes, add tomato puree stir properly and throw in all the other ingredients and cook for 5 more minutes, turn off heat and set aside.

PIZZA TOPPINGS

Grated cheese
Pepperonni
Cooked chicken
Sweet corn (optional)
Bell peppers (green,yellow and red)

HOW ITS MADE

Preheat oven to Gas mark 6, roll out the dough on a floured surface, press down lightly while stretching all around. Use cookie cutter to cut out shapes.

Scoop the sauce on top and gently spread, sprinkle grated cheese, place the topping on top and place on a lightly greased and floured pizza pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes (checking regularly) or until cooked through and edges browned.

Make sure pizza is pipping hot, serve with chicken wings, fruits or anything you prefer. Any left overs can be stored in the fridge for later. I normally make these minis for my kids to have as a snack for after school club or for home time as they get really hungry by the time I pick them up after school.

Banana Orange Cake.

This cake was made with love a product of 2020 lockdown. It's being a crazy year so far but I decided I'll stay positive, strong and productive as we wait to see what will come out of year 2020. I'm so happy to share this delicious orange flavour banana cake here. Let me know if you try this recipe, I'm sure you'll love it just like my family and I did x • In making this recipe you have to make sure everything you need is set and ready to go. • Minimal mixing is required to get a good result. • Try NOT to hip the flour in the measuring cup, scooping in the flour into the cup with a spoon and level out the top. • You can use any other oil you prefer but not flavoured oil as this will take away from the take and flavour of the cake after baking. RECIPE. 2+1/2 cups self raising flour. 1/4 cup cornflour. 1 tsp baking powder. 1 tsp baking soda. 1/4 tsp salt. 1 cup caster sugar. 4 very ripe bananas. 3 eggs. 1/2 cup melted butter + 1/2 cup sunflower oil 1 tsp vanilla

Freshly Cooked Sea Food Okra Soup

I made this very delicious fresh Okra soup with Salmon fish, prawns, pack of mixed sea food, fresh spinach, okra, sweet long pepper, a tablespoon of red oil, crayfish, scotch bonnet, knorr seasoning cube and salt to taste. This was quick and easy to cook because I prepped everything the day before, packed them in small containers and stored in the fridge. My kids love to eat our native foods, pounded yam and Egusi soup/ Okra soup is their all time favourite. I love the fact that they are enjoying good food instead of asking for chips and nuggets all the time. I actually achieved cutting out fast food cravings by cooking different meals and stocking the fridge which helped me serve them varieties and then fast food became a treat for them during most weekends if they remember to ask...goals. You can have a bowl of this freshness alone or pair with pounded yam (poundo) garri, oatmeal, agidi, cornmeal, boiled yam or white rice.
