Pizza Dough with yogurt and oatmeal

-

 

 

 

         One of the reasons I kept a blog on the food I make is because I tend to misplace my notes. After years of cooking and being interested in cooking, I just can't rely on recipes posted on other blogs especially when it involves baking. There are factors to consider in baking, the timing and the oven one uses contribute to the differences in the outcome. Common Sense and constant practice makes perfect. This recipe is a tweak from my Calzone Dough which you may try. What I like about my recipe is that it is just so perfect everytime. I don't double my recipe but make one dough at a time. The good liquid to solid ratio is reached when I do this, so I think that is the advantage.

 Dough

2 C All purpose flour
2/3 C Rolled Oats
1tsp salt
2tsp baking powder
1 C yogurt
4T olive oil

Toppings
Tomato sauce with tomato paste
Tomatoes
White onion slices
Cheeses
Sauteed ground Beef
Genovese basil leaves
Olive slices
Any toppings you want to try


Preheat oven at 240F or max of oven.


In a deep bowl, place the first three ingredients, make a well. Add milk and oil then mix with spatula in a circular motion until flour is manageable to form into a ball. Knead light to form a ball about 5 times. Let stand in a bowl. 

 
Dust dough mat with flour. Put the dough ball, cover with thin plastic and roll. It glides when I use plastic on top of the dough. Make 12-inch square or round.. Heat in oven for 10 minutes at 200F.

Remove from oven. Lather with tomato paste and sauce mixture. Add desired pizza toppings. Return to oven and let cook for 15 to 20 minutes at 200F.

Do you still remember how Sarali or Sirali taste?

This "Sarali" is a childhood fruit for everyone who grew up in the Visayan area of the Philippines. Also known as  Flacourtia jangomas or Indian Plum or coffee plum, Sarali is best enjoyed by pressing one fruit between one's palm, move it in circular motion until tender, and pop the soft flesh quickly in one's mouth save the seeds. Just like apple, this fruit oxidizes quickly and thus, gets dark brown easily. It can give one's teeth a nasty brown shade. Sour with a hint of sweet, this is a must-try fruit. I believe, the fruit has an economic value just like sarguellas and lanzones. *** *** *** ***  Related readings:  Possible Treatment of Diabetes http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2959214/ Anti bacterial property:  http://www.ijplsjournal.com/issues%20PDF%20files/july2011/1.pdf

TIKUM KADLUM (The Enchanted Dog, The First of the Ten Epics of Panay Bukidnon)

At the house. One day, Bulawanon engaged the help of Tikum Kadlum, a hunting dog with the gift of sensing the spirits, in cooking rice for his husband Paiburong and his brother Dumaraog who will be going hunting. When the rice was cooked, the brothers ate fast. Then, while Bulawanon packed the betel nut for her husband, Paiburong and Dumaraog dressed themselves, with Dumaraog suggesting they match their sashes and belts, since he is his brother's loyal protector. To complete their hunting preparations, the two brought out their long-bladed sharp knives, shields, spears, and lances from their gold chest and wall hanger. When everything is set, Paiburong bade goodbye to his wife, Bulawanon, who reminded her husband to be careful as he might meet in the forest one named Makabagting, who is accompanied by a man-eating woman called Muwa. Makabagting is a nobleman and a warrior who is widely known as having tasted human flesh. Paiburong went out of his house, and he heard a sound. It

Linabog nga Bisaya nga Manok

When I searched for Linabog in th web, I can see entries on Linabog but using a different souring agent and usually the fish called "pagi" is used. Also, they attribute Linabog to the Cebuanos and there is one video which explained that the word means "throw away" because the parts used in the dish are parts which are usually to be thrown away, like the bony "pagi." Meanwhile, there is also a "kinunot" way of cooking which means "hinimay" or flaked for the Luzon. The name was also coined for leftover parts of fish or chicken. In Hiligaynon, the word "labog" means forcefully thrown away.  This surprised me because when I was small, I heard from my father and his friends about this linabog and they used the leaves of labog plant. So I grew up having some idea of what linabog cooking means and definitely, the Cebuanos' definition of Linabog dish is far from my Ilonggo definition. And yes, Ilonggos
