Activity 2: Pancakes and Maple Syrup? [4 points]
For this activity, you are asked to choose one of your favourite foods. On your blog, write the name of your favourite food and then tell us how to make it. You may need to ask a family member, friend or Google (!) for help if you do not normally make this food for yourself.
One of my favourite food is Pizza.
Ingredients:

1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast

1 teaspoon sugar

1-1/4 cups warm water (110° to 115°)

1/4 cup canola oil

1 teaspoon salt

3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 pound ground beef

1 small onion, chopped

1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce

3 teaspoons dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried basil

1 medium green pepper, diced

2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

How to make Pizza:

• 1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in water; let stand for 5 minutes. Add oil and salt. Stir in flour, a cup at a time, until a soft dough forms.
• 2. Turn onto floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 2-3 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes. Meanwhile, cook beef and onion over medium heat until no longer pink; drain.
• 3. Punch down dough; divide in half. Press each into a greased 12-in. pizza pan. Combine the tomato sauce, oregano and basil; spread over each crust. Top with beef mixture, green pepper and cheese.
• 4. Bake at 400° for 25-30 minutes or until crust is lightly browned.
• Activity 3: Salt and Pepper [5 + 5 possible bonus points]

• This is my house and it is made out of Lego. The reason why I made it out of legos was because you can make anything out of legos and because I used to get lots of Christmas gifts that were lego.
