KBB#19: Pizza

this month KBB is having its third birthday! hip hip hurray! :)

Happy Birthday, KBB! may you always enlighten all the Indonesian bakers anywhere we are. live long! well it can be say that i'm a newbie in KBB, but this club makes me feel comfortable and i always love doing every challenges that i have given. this month, we were asked to celebrate KBB's birthday by doing any recipe from all of the challenges so far. i definitely chose a challenge that has already exist before i joined KBB. it was so hard to choose one of all those tempting recipes and i have to think twice or maybe more to decide one. finally, i chose Pizza. why? because in my house, we all love pizza especially with our own selection of toppings. haha. 

making pizza doesn't create a lot of mess but it does take some of your time. first, you have to make the pizza sauce (you can cheat on this one, though. use a store-bought one, however i prefer using the homemade and made it a day in advance). second, you have to make the dough from yeast which leads to a proofing time. third, assembling all those veggies and meat on top of it (but this is the most fun part!). since i was little, i have always been loving to see people making pizza. i love the way they toss the dough up to the air and catch it again, then they put much sauce on top of the dough, place the toppings artfully, and in the end they put it in the rustic oven. they look so skillful! however, i wasn't doing all of the process like them, i just did it all amateurishly. haha.

don't be intimidated with all the processes, do it happily and you'll get an exciting result too. i was so thrilled with the result and directly put this recipe in my favorite recipes' list. thanks to KBB who finally encourage me to make pizza and giving such a wonderful recipe for the dough. it's really a super tasty recipe. for the sauce, i got it from my Italian food cookbook and for the toppings, just choose whatever you'd love to be on your pizza. i used pepperoni, canned champignon mushroom, mozzarella cheese, sausages, and garnish them with freshly grind pepper and dry oregano. you can add more vegetables to it, i didn't put much because my little brother is so picky with veggies.

pancake muffin

hello everyone! i am now completely back on track.. i am extremely too happy to be back again. i really miss all of you. anyway, my summer holiday's over. i am now entering another new semester and the new schedule is pretty tight, i am getting busy this term. however, i am pretty lucky to have most of my schedule adjustable with my hobby which is baking. haha. i have only one day off now but i still have some leisure time. thank God!

today, i started my class at 4 pm and i've baked this goodies on the morning. this is actually a pancake in a muffin shape or is it really a muffin, i don't really care. all i know is that this is my best breakfast ever! i couldn't like this more. simple but too delicious, for me 2 pieces are not enough. i can taste the maple syrup and butter from this muffin even before you drown them in maple syrup and warm butter and i really love this even better than real pancakes. by the way, have i told you that once it had baked it has already spread its wonderful smell of maple around your kitchen and tempted you to munch it right away.

i got this recipe from the marvelous Bakerella, she's a super cakepops diva. i am her huge fans and she's just as sweet as her cakes. so why don't you just check out her web and find more interesting recipes there. this pancake muffin recipe was originally named 'Mini Maple Chocolate Chips Pancake Muffin', what a long name. give it a shot and try this, i am sure you'll crave for more and more..

excuse me for a while..

hey people..

miss my post? haha. nah, i'm not forgetting all of you.. i'm just being busy here. well, not literally busy and neither did i was so lazy baking. i baked some goodies, cooked some nice dishes, but i didn't think that they were good enough to be published here. i should give you my best, shouldn't i?

so... i still haven't got anything to post until now that i'm telling you i have to excuse my self from posting on this blog. i will be gone for a month max, my mom didn't let me bake anything during this Eid Mubarak holiday cause my house will be in some kind of messy mode and she doesn't want anymore chaos in the house. haha.

but, i'll still do my KBB task this month, wait for it by the end of the month. i have something really good to share! oh my readers, i am really going to miss you and all my kitchenwares. don't worry, i'll post soon if i can steal sometime to please my self with baking.

i hope you don't mind waiting for me..
thanks for the understanding and have a very blessed holiday!

Happy Eid Mubarak for those who celebrate.. :)
