French Baguette Pizza

Another family fave, easy french baguette pizza with only two main ingredients needed.  This is the simplest french pizza I make often cos my kids only wants cheese and the bread :-P  Aside from the main, it is best if you add pizza sauce and other preferred toppings.  Easy to play around recipe.  

Well, I already tried the homemade pizza dough, great but time consuming.  We even tried the frozen pizza pie sold in grocery store.  But this is the one we best-loved!! Our bomb-diggity!!

Preheat oven to 400F / 200C. 

Sliced short baguette in half, lengthwise.  

Place in large baking tray lined with baking paper.  

Brush with melted butter on each bread, (optional: spread with pizza sauce). 

Top with preferred shredded cheese and other desired toppings.  

Season with salt and pepper. 

Bake for at least 10 minutes or until cheese is melted and bread is heated through.  

I've also used the leftover beef taco and sliced cherry tomato, 

yeah, beef taco pizza...nom nom!! ;-) 

Serve and enjoy ;-)

Day 65/365: Champorado

This is one of my favorite breakfast or snacks.  When I make champorado, I only used sticky rice and cocoa powder.  In deep cooking pot, boil 1 cup of sticky rice with at least 4 cups of water.  Stir from time to time until rice almost cooked then add at 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup of cocoa powder according to your preference.  You may add water too while cooking.  Please note that as champorado cools, the water lessens (like it dries up).  Feel free to adjust the servings of your sticky rice & cocoa depending on your needs.  Serve in bowl,  pour your favorite evaporated or condensed milk and add sugar.

Fluffy Pancakes

My son's favorite - pancake.  He request it from time to time, any time of the day.  I like how I made it, so fluffy and soft!

I buy Philippine made pancake mix.  I usually use Maya or White King.  I also use Pillsbury, which I like better.  How to make it fluffy and soft?  I don't follow the water measurement for pancakes instead the water needed for crepes. Like for 250g pack, I use more than a cup of water.  As long as the batter is almost watery.  And I still use 1x egg and tablespoons of butter.  Most importantly, the water should be warm as in previously boiled.  Or put a little bit of boiling water to the previously boiled water.  I believed what make it fluffy and soft is the water that I used not just the batter that is watery.  Just do both :P.  After pouring the mixture in pan, spread it in circular pattern to make your pancake thinner. 

Roti Prata

My hubby and I ate this for breakfast today.  I bought the Roti Prata and curry sauce in grocery store.  We just cooked both according to instruction.  Yum yum!! :)
