GDP - an endless journey

Dear Readers..

This is one of the reason for my endless nights... discussions, headaches.. and SMILES...
Yes.. it was mix up feelings .. of lots of busy mind.. busy body.. and headaches..
Thousand of sorrow.. and millions of happiness.. as I finally complete half of the destinations..

Started on May.. when i have to start something new.. participating in a Job Fair in local university.. continue with another job fair in Jakarta.. continue with a free booth in Jogja.. the three brings me where i am now..

Days of endless discussion, twisting fingers and more are still on..
and i never regret doing so..

It is my first time, and surely wont be the last..

Its not a proper appreciation that i expect.. but the process and the smile those candidates put on their face that relief me.. it is their hope of getting a better future.. that just gave me some spirits to go on and on..
It is the good will .. as i set aside my ego and negative expression the witch gave me..

At the end.. with or without the witch.. show will go on.. if its not for the team.. the journey might have not started.. So.. for the betterment of those talented youngsters.. lets moving on.. keep going..

All the pain, tears, headaches and sweats will be paid at once..
And im so positive.. that Gusti Allah is with me all the way.. :)... So i should have nothing to worry..

Soon it will start.. and the journey continuous..
Bismillah.. hope it will all go well..

Modesty Pizza - easy to make..

Well..

I must say, that having a 9-year-old-pre-teenage girl is fun..
Means that i have to be very creative in having an activity which involves both of us..
Besides sewing and singing, my daughter loves cooking..

So, i browse around, modifying some recipes.. and this is one of them..

Modesty Pizza -why modest? cause its very easy to make - hassle free and taste delicious as well.
The recipe is as follow :

Ingredients :
250 gr of multi purpose flour
1 sachet (11 gr) of instant yeast
2 tbs of oil (using vegetable oil)
1 full spoon of margarine
pinch of salt
2 tbs of sugar
1 tbs of milk

Sauce :
Mixing 2 tbs of tomato sauce - 1 tbs of mayonaise - 1 tbs chili sauce - pinch of mixed herbs
Toppings shall be on your preference - im having chicken sausages and corn.. for savoury
and banana - cheese for sweet pizza


How to make :

1. Prepare the yeast by mixing yeast, sugar, oil and 1 tbs of sugar into a bowl.. Pour half cup of warm water, stir well until its ready.. (its foamy when ready)
2. In bigger bowl - pour flour, instant milk, salt, sugar and yeast solvent.. Stir well, i add margarine and sugar. Mix well till it set. Set aside for 30 minutes, and cover the dough with wet kitchen towel.
3. Prepare the pan, get half of the dough - spread evenly. Pour the sauce mixture and add toppings
Do the same with sweet pizza, however, im not using any sauce for sweet pizza..But, i add some sugar before putting banana and covered it later with cheese
4. Turn on the stove - ensure you have proper heat . Takes around 10 minutes to make the cheese melt and the dough is ready. And yes, its ready to eat now.. :)

Enjoy your pizza, guyz.. Hope you find it as simple and easy as what i thought so..
