I don't understand. Does this mean we are going to have to do lots of work?

This is for a person in our class:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE MAKING.

Pizza:
Dough Ingredients:
1 1/2 tsp dried yeast
1 tsp sugar
2 tbsp olive oil, plus extra for oiling
250 ml warm water
375 g strong plain flour, plus extra for sprinkling
Salt and pepper

Method:
1. Mix the yeast with 3 tbsp water. Set aside for ten mins or until frothy.

2. Sift the flour into a bowl and add the sugar, salt and pepper. Then dig a well in the centre.

3. Pour the yeast, water, and oil into the well. Use your hands to mix everything together.

4. Sprinkle flour over clean work surface. Then knead the dough for 8 mins, until smooth and elastic.

5. Oil a large bowl, pop in the dough, and cover with clingfilm. Leave in a warm place until the dough has doubled in size.

6. Is it ready? Poke holes in the dough. If the holes remain, it's ready. Punch down with your fists and place on a floured surface.

Um... thanks, but that book is out under my name Kerli!!! (I think. Or was it the asian cooking book? Sorry, Kerli's in a phaze. Next week is art.)
Haha. I found that meant we have a lot of work, because you said we would Mr W.

Cute cartoon Lord Plunket!!

That's quite an interesting quote mech boy. I suppose you do have to do what you think you can't, because otherwise you'll live the rest of your life thinking you can't do things when really you can!
