I have just bought a new money and time saving gadget for the kitchen and it is fantastic, it is a pizza oven that heats up in about 5 minutes and cooks a pizza from scratch in the same amount of time.
And it makes the best fresh pizza, much better than pizza delivered in a soggy cardboard box! And at a fraction of the cost.
Here is the dough recipe for the base: -
3/4 cup of warm water
I tablespoon of olive oil
10 ounces of strong plain flour
2 teaspoons of sugar
1/2 teaspoon of salt
small teaspoon of dried yeast
Kneed together and leave to rise, when it has doubled in size knock it back and rise again, or if you have a breadmaker you can use the dough setting and it will do all the work for you
This is enough for two pizza bases, just divide the dough and roll out to size, add your toppings and put into your pre-heated pizza oven for about 4 or five minutes
The oven gets really hot, and cooks really quickly so it is wise to check on your pizza after 3 or 4 minutes or it can catch on the top heating element. But it is quick and easy to use, easy to clean, and makes mouthwatering pizza.
OK, so maybe mine doesn’t look quite as good as the one in the pizza oven, but it was my first attempt and it tasted great. If you like pizza this is a must for the kitchen, it’s quick, easy to clean and makes fantastic tasting pizza.
An ice bridge linking a shelf of ice the size of Jamaica to an island in Antarctica has snapped.
Scientists suggest the collapse could mean that the Wilkins Ice Shelf is on the brink of breaking away, and that it provides evidence of global warming.
The shelf has been retreating since the 1990s, but scientists say this is the first time it has lost one of the connections that keep it in place.
It broke off at the thinnest point of the 40-km (25-mile) strip of ice.
A European Space Agency satellite picture shows newly-created ice-bergs floating in the sea on the western side of the Antarctic peninsula, which juts up from the continent towards South America’s southern tip.
“It’s amazing how the ice has ruptured,” David Vaughan, a glaciologist with the British Antarctic Survey, was quoted as saying by Reuters news agency.
“Two days ago it was intact. We’ve waited a long time to see this.”
While the break-up will have no impact on sea level, it heightens concerns over the impact of climate change on this part of Antarctica.
They say the Antarctic Peninsula, which juts out into the Southern Ocean towards the tip of South America, has experienced unprecedented warming over the last 50 years.
Several ice shelves have retreated in the past 30 years - six of them collapsing completely.
