The picture of a
burnt pizza on my Instagram was the rare
#failbake that i dared to put on the social media page as i found it incredulous
to have destroyed what could have been a beautiful (and no doubt delicious)
pizza!
A friend thought
i had purchased frozen pizza (hence, the poor control of temperature) but in
reality, it was an uncooked pizza from Cold Storage supermarket at Yishun's
Northpoint. The failed attempt last Saturday resulted in a nagging craving for
pizza and i grabbed another one the following day. This time round, i shall
exercise extra caution.
Cooking
instructions were straightforward and short enough. I have been buying such
pizzas from Cold Storage for a few years already as ingredients were fresher and
there's the option to add ingredients you love to the pizza!
Furthermore, it
only cost S$7.95 for a nine-inch pizza and you can choose from ham and pineapple
(your classic Hawaiian), vegetarian, pepperoni or simple tomato and
cheese.
I managed to
screw up the instructions somewhat last year when i forgot to remove the base
board after tearing away the wrapper! My friend was wondering then why the pizza
base didn't feel quite right.
Pizza without the
base board. I was thinking of leaving this in its original condition and
throwing it immediately to the oven which was already
pre-heated.
That's when i
spotted a yellow onion that had been lying beside the oven for about a month or
so; let's cut it up as i absolutely adore tons of onions on my pizza! Another
hot favourite would be slices of Taiwanese sausages!
Frankly, i would
have covered the entire pizza with sliced onions but for the sake of publicity,
let's just adorn it simply with just a few pieces of onion. Leftover onions can
be kept in the fridge until it's omelette time.
Damn, another
screw up! My eyes saw 220 degrees celcius yet my brain registered 200 degrees
celcius. Well, the knob was turned to 220 but my oven had a temperature variance
of 20 degrees celcius!
No wonder the
pizza was too "fair" when the 12 minutes were up. I had to add another five
minutes before it showed the symptoms of bubbling cheese and browning
crust.
It was so good
and although i had the intention to keep half for dinner the next day; i
couldn't resist and before i knew it; i felt a deep sense of guilt to have eaten
the pizza all by myself! :(
If it's of any
psychological consolation to myself, i diligently cut out the crust for each
piece so that i wouldn't ingest too much carbohydrate. On second thought, i
should have recycled them as "bread-sticks" which would be useful when i cooked
western-style soup.
