BENG'S TIPS:
- Buttermilk makes the cake more tender and the tangy flavor cuts into the sweetness of the cake
-- but if not available, make your own buttermilk by stirring together 1/2 cup of milk with 2 1/4
tsp white vinegar and set it aside until it thickens or curdles -- about 15 to 20 minutes. Stir before
using.
- This cake has to be refrigerated until ready to serve. The frosting is not as stable as
buttercream and the cream cheese could become runny and easily go bad if left out at room
temperature for more than couple hours.
- For those who are not crazy about putting frosting on cakes or cupcakes, just dust the top
generously with confectioner's or icing sugar using a sieve.
- The recipe can be made into a cake, as well - divide the batter equally in 2 8-inch or 9-inch
round cake pans and bake at same temperature but for 30 to 35 minutes. Level the cakes and
put 1 cup of frosting in between. Frost the cake top and side and apply (to cover the side) with
toasted, coarsely chopped walnuts.

Pizza Dough
If its your first attempt at making pizza dough, it is best to keep ingredients as few and
simple as possible.
Dough
2 cups of flour
cup of warm water (Make sure water is warm and not hot, and opt for fibrous flour instead
of white)
1 tablespoon of sugar
1 teaspoon of salt
Toppings
1. In a small bowl, sprinkle the yeast on the warm water and stir to dissolve it. Set aside until the
yeast starts forming bubbles in about 5 minutes.
2. Sift the flour. Pour the flour into a large bowl or on a work surface. Mold the flour in a mound shape
with a hole in the center.
3. Pour the yeast mix in the center , then the olive oil and a pinch of salt.
4. Using a spatula, draw the ingredients together.
5. Then mix with your hands to form a dough.
6. Sprinkle some flour on the work surface. Place the pizza dough on the floured surface.
7. Knead the pizza dough briefly with your hands pushing and folding. Knead just long enough for the
dough to take in a little more flour, and until it no longer sticks to your hands.
8. With your hand, spread a little olive oil inside a bowl, then transfer the dough into the bowl.
9. On the top of the pizza dough, make two incisions that cross, and spread with a very small amount
of olive oil. This last step will prevent the surface of the dough from breaking too much while rising.
10. Cover the bowl with a kitchen cloth, and set the bowl aside for approximately 1 2 hours until the
dough doubles in volume. The time required for rising will depend on the strength of the yeast and
the temperature of the room.
11. When the dough is about double its original size, punch it down to eliminate the air bubbles.
12. On a lightly floured work surface, cut the dough into three equal pieces.
13. On the work surface, using a rolling pin and your hands, shape one piece of dough into a thin round
layer. Make a pizza about 12 inches in diameter.
14. Make a pizza about 12 inches in diameter and transfer it to the pan. Using your fingertips, push
from the center to the sides to cover the entire surface of the pan with a thin layer of pasta. Repeat
this step with the other 2 dough pieces to make 3 pizzas.
15. At this point, the pizza is ready to receive its toppings (see recipes). Add onto the pizza your
preferred toppings. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper if indicated by the recipe.
* Cook the pizza in a regular oven at 500 F (260 C) for about 2025 minutes.
* The cheese for a homemade pizza, if present in the recipe, should be added 5 10 minutes before
removing the pizza from the oven.
* To check for readiness, lift one side of the pizza. The pizza is ready when the bottom surface is
light brown.
Cooking Tips
One of the best perks about knowing how to make pizza dough is choosing your favorite
toppings. You can brush the crust with tomato paste, layer it cheese and add anything from salami to
avocadoes. To make healthier pizza, form a thinner crust and use lean meats, vegetables and even
pineapples as toppings. You can also experiment with low-carb sauces to boost the taste.
Learning how to make pizza dough has many, many benefits. Not only do you get to create
your own flavors, you can also control the amount of calories your pizzas contain. With just a few
ingredients, you can enjoy restaurant-standard pizzas right from your very own kitchen. Bon apptit!
