Dinner tonight - no rise home made pizza!

The strike hits blogs world! Two kids at home mountains of laundry husband out all day, I could only day dream taking pictures today... The original post was about my mom's best ever meatballs, but at four pm I realized the meat is still in the freezer and the light out side is almost as horrible as yesterday. Going through my instagram  photos I found the above ones! Yes, that's me and big brother making pizza. My friend found this recipe through allrecipe.com . 
listen to this: it's a no rise pizza dough! 5 minutes to mix the ingredients and another 20 minutes in the oven. 30 minutes and you have amazing home baked pizza, faster then delivery with no msg!!!  are you ready?
how to:
3 cups all purpose flour
2 tablespoon dry yeast
2 tablespoon vegetable oil or olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1 cup (or as needed) warm water
In a stand mixer bowl mix dry ingredients. Add the oil and half of the water and mix. Slowly, as needed add the rest of the water. Mix about 5 more minutes.Transfer to a floured surface and knead  2 more minutes. Shape as desire - I make small circle I find it more fun! or you can roll one big one..transfer to a baking sheet, add sauce (I like Barilla's Pomadoro)  or what ever sauce you like, the important  thing is to use mozzarella cheese on top and definitely not yellow cheese! Huge difference! And of course add topping as desire.. Put in a preheated oven 190 Celsius for 20 minutes.  Big brother's no. two dinner option. What's no. one?? :)) wait until tomorrow...

Dinner tonight - Super classico

 OK. Let's talk business. Here in Israel we have two super classico, Barcelona Real and shnizel and ptitim. Nothing can bit shnizel and ptitim! kids absolutely adore it, and let's face it us too. I'm not 100% sure but I think ptitim is orzo abroad. Today I want to introduce you to our version for that classic dish. Nothing fancy just a little upgrade..
With the egg I mix one shredded garlic clove and with the crumbs - I use Grissini Crumbs - I mix few chopped parsley leafs. Huge change believe me, and your kids will improve their tease!
Second, for the ptitim, my friend Efrat had a great suggestion, to cook them with vegetables stock instead of water. Another big improvement. Cook few vegetables in a pot full of water for 40-50 min (I used carrot, onion, celery, and  zucchini) and add salt. When the soup is cold take out the vegetables and  transfer the juice  to plastic bags and write the date.
Freeze the begs, and you are going to feel so good about yourself!! Next time you need a stock just open your freezer... I love little upgrades like this!     
Oh... when ever you cook classic Israeli food like this don'tyou dare forgetting the ketchup and the petel :)). With closed eyes big brother will finish this plate even in the middle of the night... Resolution? Don't try to be over creative with kid's food. Follow their wishes...      See you all tomorrow. xo
