🤤 This Is What Happens When Garlic Bread Moves to Paris
Plus: Cancel your delivery order and DIY pizza like a pro! 🍕
Happy Saturday friends! Another weekend, another reason to whip up something delicious.
I’ve been testing recipes this week and making a fire-breathing dragon cake. Yeah I know, my job is weird sometimes.
The cooler Sydney weather has me craving hearty, low-effort meals (because I already do enough dishes at work). So my current hyper-fixation is the easiest miso noodle soup ever: veggie broth, miso paste, old fridge veg, tofu, and instant noodles. Then of course I finish it with chilli oil, Ugg boots and a good true crime doco… Got any new recommendations? Slide into my DMs. I just watched The Jinx... oh my gosh.. 11/10.
Mother’s Day is also this weekend, so here’s my last minute brekky recco! Make my 3-ingredient pancakes: 1 cup self-raising flour, 1 egg, 1 cup milk. Fry, top with butter and maple syrup, and thank me later.
See you next week,

Your Complete Guide To Crafting Homemade Pizza Like A Pro
Use Warm WaterGetting the water temp right is key for good dough! To bloom yeast, use water at around 43°C. It should be warm enough to activate yeast, but not so hot that it kills it. Too cold, and the dough will not rise at all. To check, use a food thermometer, or just dip your finger in — it should feel slightly warm. | ![]() |
Check The Yeast Is AliveTo start your dough, sprinkle sugar and yeast into the warm water. Let it sit for about 10 minutes. Check that your yeast is alive and reacting, it should start bubbling and foaming. If it doesn’t, your yeast might be too old or the water temperature was off. | ![]() |
Knead Dough ThoroughlyWhen kneading the dough, take your time and don’t rush it. To knead properly, roll the dough on top of itself and push it forward. Repeat this motion for 10 minutes. To check if it’s ready, press the dough lightly with your finger. If it springs back right away, you can stop kneading! | ![]() |
Let The Dough Rise OvernightLet the dough rise overnight for the best results, or for at least one hour if you're short on time. Once it has risen, knead it for another minute to smooth out air pockets. After shaping the dough into smaller balls, cover them lightly with flour and a towel, then let them rise for another hour. | ![]() |
Preheat Your BaseWhile your oven can’t match the heat of a wood-fired oven, preheating your pan or stone helps to get that perfect bottom heat. You can use a flipped baking tray, a cast iron pan, or invest in a pizza stone. Place it in the oven before you start shaping and topping your pizza! | ![]() |
Go Easy On The SaucesAfter shaping the dough into a round pizza, spread only a thin layer of sauce, as too much sauce can make the centre soggy. For a great crust, leave a 1-2cm border around the edge without toppings. Want an extra flavour boost? Try brushing the crust with butter or garlic oil. | ![]() |
Reheat On The StoveTempted to heat up leftover pizza in the microwave? Don't, it’ll leave you with a soggy, unevenly-heated crust! Instead, heat your pizza in a skillet on the stovetop for a crispy crust and melty cheese. Place the slice on a hot, dry pan and cover it with a lid or foil to trap the steam. | ![]() |
