So, let's go over the ingrdients:

4 oz soft margarine or butter

4 oz brown or white sugar

8 oz plain flour

1 egg

pinch of salt

Method:

1.Preheat oven to 200 degrees celcius.

2.Beat the margarine or butter with the sugar.

3.Add the egg to the butter sugar mixture then beat.

4.Sift in flour and salt then mix to form a dough.

6.Bake at a 190 degree celcius oven for about 15 minutes.

Pizza!

Yesterday, we felt like ordering a pizza. Instead we chose to make it a bit healthier by baking it at home. I thought it would be great to share the recipe with you! It turned out to be near-perfect (the dough was a bit on the thicker side). Had we rolled it a bit thinner, it would have been perfect. So, this is how it looked:

So, lets go over the ingredients:

2 cups flour

1 egg (You can omit if you want to)

1 tsp sugar

1/2 tsp salt

1.5 tsp instant yeast 

1.5 tbsp milk powder

3 tbsp oil

Mozzerella cheese/cheddar cheese

Toppings (Chicken, pepperoni, vegetables)

Pizza or tomato sauce

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celcius.

2. Mix all the ingredients into dough. (except for cheese, toppings and sauce),

3. Knead and put into a bowl.

4. Cover with Plastic wrap or cling film (no foil), and let sit for 2 hours in a warm place.

5. After 2 hours, take out and knead again.

6. Roll until thin. The thickness depends on individual choice. I prefer thinner side. 

7. Spread pizza sauce, and add toppings. We made a mistake by adding the toppings before cheese, so add the cheese before the toppings to give a more pleasing look.

8.Bake at 200 degrees celcius for 10 mins.

Enjoy a healthier pizza.

Cells?

Cells are the building block of life. All living things are made of cells. Some living things are uni-cellular (like bacteria or ameoba) and others are multi-cellular (like humans, animals and plants).

I was going through the chapter of cells in my science book and thought that I will post something from this interesting and amazing part of us.

While a cell has many different sub-parts known as organelles, following are some of the major organelles:

1. Mitochondria - are like the chemical in the digestive system of the cell converting food into energy
2.Nucleus - is like the brain of the cell, controlling all activities of the cell.
3.Vacuole - is a storage water and nutrients
4.Cytoplasm - is the fluid on which all the other parts swim (or move around)
5.Cell wall / cell membrane - is like the skin allowing only food to enter and waste to exit
6. Chloroplast - contains chlorophyll for use with sublight for making food.

Can you find the difference between these Plant and Animal cells? Please mention your answers in the comments.
