Crêpes

Hi everyone,

Recipe for Crêpes (for 4-6 people)

What you will need:

• -       4 eggs
• -       400g of flour
• -       a litre of milk
• -       pinch of salt
• -       oil
• -       a crêpe pan or normal pan
• -       a large bowl
• -       a whisk
• -       a ladle
• -       a spatula

Step 1: Pour the flour in a bowl, make a hole in the middle of the flour (into a well shape), crack all four eggs into the middle of the hole, then mix it together gently.

Step 2: When your mixture has a dough-like consistency, add a pinch of salt.

Step 3: Add the one litre of milk little by little, mixing it as you go with a whisk. When you are using the whisk, make sure there are no bubbles of air left in the mixture. At the end of this process, you should have a smooth and liquid mixture without any air bubbles.

Step 4: Add a tablespoon of oil. Get a ladle and fill it with the crêpe mixture to pour it into the pan, and spread it with the ladle in the pan so it covers the entire surface of the crêpe pan, you can move the pan in order to spread the liquid on its surface.

Step 5: Place the pan on the hob, for approximately 2 minutes until you can lift the crepe with the spatula, start by lifting the edges and then flip it over. You can also flip it over using just the pan. The crêpe should look slightly brown and golden and be slightly crispy around the edges.

Crepes are best eaten hot, but can also be eaten cold. You can make savoury crêpes filling them with cheese, ham, egg, chorizo, etc. Or you can have sweet crêpes, with Nutella, caramel, whipped cream, sugar, jam.

Enjoy, bon appétit!

Homemade pizzas

Hi everyone,

Homemade pizza

What you will need (for 4):

• -       500g of strong flour
• -       325ml of warm water
• -       7g of yeast
• -       a pinch of salt
• -       olive oil
• -   265g of tomato and herb sauce
• -   2x150g of mozzarella
• -   toppings of choice: mushrooms, peppers, pepperoni, ham 

i-        Step 1: Start by mixing the flour and pinch of salt together, then in a separate bowl put the warm water and put the yeast on top. Leave it for a couple of minutes to take its effect, then mix. Make a hole in the flour and add your mixture. Then mix the whole together until you have a dough-like consistency.

Step 2: Put some flour your kitchen counter or whatever surface you’re using and work the dough by rolling it, knead it around to push the air out of it, until it becomes less sticky to the touch. Separate it into 4 small balls of dough.

Step 3: Place them on a tray that you have sprinkled with flour, and cover them with a coat of olive oil. Cover them with cling film and make sure they are sealed. Leave the dough to rise for 3 hours so it doubles in size.

Step 4: Preheat your oven to 225°. Once the dough is twice its original size cover your baking tray with flour, make it into a pizza shape, flattening it and making sure the edges are bigger for the crust. Then spread a small amount of the tomato sauce from the centre towards the edges, then slice the mozzarella and place them on the pizza. Finally add your toppings of choice.

Step 5: Place the pizza in the oven and it should only take 7-8 minutes to cook, make sure the cheese is melted and the dough has risen and is crispy. Enjoy !
