Last night we had home made pizza's, with left overs....I had a few slices of silverside left from during the week, and also about half a cold oven baked chicken. So that is what we had on our pizza's. I have to tell you...they were just as yummy as the last pizza's I made.

Using my new Kenwood mixer...(I've never had a mixer that is hands free...wooohooo) I added 3 1/2  cups of homemade yoghurt......and about 5 cups of Self Raising Flour....and mixed it on a low speed until a dough was formed. I made the dough into four balls.



I'm not getting any credit for showing you my new Mixer, and I have had it for about 2 weeks now...My last whizzer I bought at K-Mart about 15 years ago.....so it has done me well. It's been giving that burnt smell every time I use it for a few months now......So I bid it fair well...and move on..... Move on to bigger and better whizzers that is......I'm excited at all the attachments you can get for it.....and what other kitchen appliance's it can replace.When buying an appliance we try to buy the best we can afford at the time. I think it's no point buying junk...if I buy junk, I usually get nothing but trouble. (Except for my freaky whizzer that went for so many years). If I recall though, back then it was still the best I could afford at the time and it had a huge 2 litre bowl...lol

Back to the leftovers pizza!
For the base sauce, I used my soup starter....adding garlic and lots of herbs is always a good thing on a pizza  and this starter is excellent for a pizza sauce.

Now for the leftovers......from top to bottom working from Left to Right.

Cheese
Chicken Stuffing
Capsicum
Silverside
Chicken
Tomato
and beaten egg (from the fridge)

 All that, makes this......3 times.

 After being in a hot oven until golden brown

and cooked through in the centre..... You get this!

We were so full, I didn't make up the fourth ball of dough...But we will use it for a dessert tonight. The boys have been bugging me for chocolate brevilles lately. So I guess I'll make something similar using the dough instead of bread...and in the form of a roly poly......

I'm sorry I haven't included a photo with this recipe...I don't like doing that....but here is the recipe anyway.......
Donut like dessert with chocolate centres. 

1. Prepare 2 slices of bread by buttering on one side each.....
2. With slice A, place on bread board with butter side up......then place slice B on top of slice A, with butter side down. 
3. Now on the unbuttered top of slice B....spread Chocolate Spread over the entire piece of bread.
4. Lift up Slice B and place on the sandwhich toaster...with butter side still down....
5. Then place slice A on top of Slice B with butter side on top. 
6. Shut the lid of your sandwich maker and bake until golden brown.
7. After removing your Chocolate Toasted Sandwich from the sandwich maker....
8. Dip the sandwich halves into cinnamon sugar, then enjoy!

And there you have one of the quickest desserts out there....and oh soooo yummy...almost like a freshly cooked donut with a chocolate centre. They are very yummy, but I only buy chocolate spread once in a blue moon....so it is definitely a treat for us.

These donut like desserts are just as yummy with home-made jam 

inside them instead of chocolate spread.

I've got plenty of work to do today....and more seeds to sort....Yesterday, for some silly reason, I decided to change not one but two lounge-rooms around.....so today I need to get more organised...there's stuff everywhere here at the moment...Look what happens when your unattended, no one to answer to and it's pouring rain outside.....

When the boys come home from work and school, I will get them to help me move the longer lounge from the back lounge-room to the main living area and put the couch that is there, in the back lounge.
Why....so I can sit beside my hubby when he comes home...and even lay down beside him with my head on his knee. This will make night-time television nice and cosy.

Mozzarella - Part 2- Dinner

During the day, I started to plan in my head, what I will do with these cheeses once I get them home.
After having a nap, I decided on mini pizzas. An excellent way to try out the lovely Mozzarella cheese that I had made that day.

Mini Pizza
Muffins cut in half
Bread slices (swapped at the end of the course for my cheese)
Smear a tspn of home made salsa on each base
Chop some ham and salami and divide between bases.
Slice tomatoes...(still using the ones I got from the farmers market...the green tomatoes are now ripening)
Top with thinly sliced Mozzarella divided between bases.
(as we were working in pairs, each recipe was divided in two, for the pizza's, after eating the pizza's, I knew it would have been better to have more mozzarella on each one. But dividing my share over the pizza's was still lovely. If I had more, I would have used more, obviously because it was so fresh and delicious).
top with freshly cut basil.(from my garden)

Bake in a moderate oven, for 10-15 minutes....or until golden.

After dining on these mini pizza's with my freshly made Mozzarella, the family had cut fruit for dessert.
All I added to the plate was an orange and a pear....the rest was swapped at the end of the cheese making course for the rest of my cheese.

Not enough watermelon, but you make good with what you have.

The family ate well!
