CURRENT MISSION

Chapter closing. I finished my basic studies. This is where the way to mastership is starting. Moving back to Romania, making my home society happier, by using the things I've learned so far. And in this way, learning more about the things I've learned

ABOUT ME

Hard to say in a few words.
I try to be creative. In every aspect of life. I'm curious. At times I'm an artist, at times a musician, at times capoeirista, at times a scientist.
I'm changing. Constantly changing.
Changing is the nature of everything, so better not try to oppose, because this makes one unhappy.
Sometimes I'm irresponsible in the things I do, but I try to improve.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't talk about going the way. Go! Keep in mind that the first step is extremely important. As well the second. And the third.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived today

Teach, Learn, Share

How to make a good pizza:
Take about 300g of flour (wheat) and half a teaspoon of salt.
next you dissolve some yeast (1/3 cube) with a little bit of sugar and a little bit of flour in about 200ml lukewarm water in a can. When the water is starting to make a lot o bubbles, start mixing it, bit by bit, with the flour. The result should be a dough that is neither to sticky (add more flour), neither too dry (add more water). As soon as you get to this point, add a fist full of olive oil, and continue kneading until the dough absorped the oil completely. Then you add another fistful of olive oil. Again kneading. Then you cover the dough with a bit o flour, and put it on a warm (not hot) place to ferment. (Turbo version: put the dough in a plastic recipient, and put the recipient in 40° warm water)
The dough must now be left for an hour. (Turbo version: 30 m)
The sauce:
Add 6-7 spoons of olive oil in a pan. Then add a medium-big onion that you cut to little cubes. Fry it on a little fire until it's a little bit glassy and smells good. Then add 4-6 pieces of garlic cut in tiny pieces or pressed.
leve another 3 minutes until it smells even better. Careful: do not let the onions become brown. Rather add the garlic earlier.
Then add, if desired, some chilies to the oil. For the hotter version.
Add a medium size can of tomatoes, cut to cubes to the sauce, add a lot of thyme and a lot of oregano to it, and leave it to boil until most of the water evapoured, resulting a more concentrated sauce.
While boiling start the oven on the highest temperature possible. It will take some time to heat up, about 20-30 minutes.
Short before the end, add salt, a little bit of sugar (little!) and pepper to the sauce. Try it at times, you have to taste what you're doing.
Now take the sheet pan of your oven, and put a little olive oil on it, and rub it gentle, everywhere. If you don't, pizza will stick to it where you have leftouts.
Now use a proper technique to get the dough on the sheet pan (italian method throwing it to the air is difficult...) add the sauce on top.
Right now use your creativity, and put on top of the sauce everything that you imagine that it could be good.
Cheese (Emmental, Mozzarella, od better: romanian sheep cheese "cas", Gorgonzola, etc.), cappers, ananas, spots of salty peanut butter, olives, tomatoes, champignons (if you use fresh ones, wich is reccomended, cut them in slices, and put them into a overed pan on medium fire before starting anything else, and leave them to boil in their own water, that will come out after some time, until most of the water is gone... very tasty) or whatever else you have in mind or in the kitchen. Cheese should be on top, nevertheless. If you're using spicier dry cheeses (parmigiano, for example) or rucola, add only after baking.
Now put the pizza into the very hot oven, as low as possible.
Wait for 10-15 minutes, check on the cheese: when the cheese is starting to make some bubbles, or even becoming brownish, here and there, pizza is ready.

Bon appetit!
