Pizza Tools
When making Satay Chicken Pizza, it’s always handy to have the right pizza making tools. Here’s what items I always recommend…
Mesh Sieve
You will find having a seive such a useful element for pizza making as well as all your baking. It’s great to filter all flours through a fine mesh sieve, to make sure they’re ready for use.
Bench Scrapers
Good quality metal or plastic bench scrapers make it so much esier to both cut your dough, and scrape your bench. I prefer plastic to avoid scratching my bench.
Measuring Cups
Pizza making is all about precision, so having a full set of both wet and dry measuring cups on hand is critical. It is so important when making pizza dough to accurately measure all your ingredients.
Chicken
The most common type of poultry to eat in the world, is Chicken. Humans have been eating Chicken since around 600BC. It is often prepared by frying, baking, BBQ, grilling and boiling.
The the color of the hen’s earlobes effects the color of the shells on the eggs they produce. Studies have shown that there are more than 33 billion Chickens around the globe. There is scientific proof that Chickens have common ancestry with the Tyrannosaurus rex.
