Homemade Potato Pizza

Homemade
pizza is a favorite in our house. We often make it on Saturday or Sunday nights
because it takes a little more time to make, but it is definitely worth the effort. I
don’t remember where we first saw thin slices of potato on pizza, but it has
become a regular. The Country Boy is our pizza maker, though Hannah and Meg
always like to help knead the dough and top the pizza. So he is letting me
share his special recipe:

Dough – Makes 2 pizzas
1 sachet
of yeast
3/4c
tepid water (just warm)
2c bread
making flour (plain flour will do) approx
Good
pinch of salt
Method
  1. Preheat the
    oven to 200oc
  2. Place the
    water in a bowl and sprinkle the yeast over the top. Allow to sit for 3-5
    minutes.
  3. Add in
    flour and bring together to form a dough. Note the actual amount of flour
    needed will be slightly different each time because of factors such as
    moisture content of the flour and of the air.
  4. Turn the dough onto the bench
    and knead the for about 5 minutes or until it springs back when poked with
    a finger. The dough will get wetter as you knead so you may need to knead
    in some more flour.
  5. Shape into a ball and place
    back into a bowl. Cover with cling wrap and place in warm place for
    30minutes or until the dough has doubled in size. This is important to
    allow the flavour of the crust to develop.
  6. Knead the dough lightly a
    second time. Divide into 2 equal balls
  7. Roll each ball out and top as
    desired
  1. Place on a
    pizza stone (if you have one) or baking tray and put in the oven for 20
    minutes or until the crust is crunchy and the topping is cooked.
Topping – 2 pizzas
2 medium
potatoes
1 small
onion
1 garlic
clove
1/4c
olive oil
Salt
3 fresh
rosemary sprigs
1c grated
mozzarella
Method
  1. Thinly
    slice the potatoes and onion (CB uses our Japanese mandolin to get them
    really thin)
  2. Crush the garlic and mix with
    the olive oil.
  3. Brush a small amount of the
    oil over the pizza base
  4. Toss the potato in the
    remaining oil, and then lay them in a thin layer over the pizza
  5. Sprinkle with the salt
  6. Pull the leaves of the
    rosemary off the stalk and spread over the potato
  1. Spread a
    small amount of finely sliced onion over the potato
  1. Top with
    mozzarella
  1. Bake.
Whenever
we make pizzas we make 2 different toppings, usually potato and Hawaiian (our
girls favourite). We have also done a fantastic tandoori chicken using a
yoghurt tandoori base for the sauce, chicken, cashew nuts, snow peas, and a
minted yoghurt raita and mango chutney drizzled on top once it is cooked. Maybe
I will share that one with you another day!
P.S I have finally succumbed and set up a facebook page for the blog. If you like my blog please “like” my facebook page (on the right side bar). I’m going to start posting blog links and other blog related stuff there so that my personal facebook page stops looking like an ad for Country Life Experiment!

A lovely, easy Christmas with family, good food, a A lovely, easy Christmas with family, good food, a few presents, an afternoon swim and dinner on the veranda as the sun set. Time to stop and be thankful for the many blessings of the year. I hope you had a lovely Christmas too!
We have been mulling over how to fix up the drivew We have been mulling over how to fix up the driveway and lead up to our house for a while. Currently it’s just a dumping ground for old bits of metal and a big pile of mulch, but C would like to create a turning area and put in a garden. First up though, there’s a huge old stump that needs to go. What better excuse is there to have a fire on Sunday afternoon? C and the kids jumped on the quad bike and trailer, and hauled back a big pile of sticks and logs to help the stump burn. Once the fire was going, marshmallows were found and roasted. No better way to spend time together.
Team work makes the dream work. We were asked rec Team work makes the dream work. 
We were asked recently whether we “make” our kids work on the farm. The answer is of course not. Having said that, all three love to help out whenever they can. They all work hard because they want to; because they take pride in working hard and contributing in a meaningful way to our family life; because they love living on our farm and don’t remember life before we moved here. Whether it be planting trees or doing sheep work or feeding animals, they all want to be involved. As a parent, nothing is better than watching them grow in skill and confidence as they work along side you. We’re so glad that we get to spend time with our three, working together.
We’ve had an unexpected addition to the family ☘️🐑. She is a lot easier to look after than the other family members but she does try to escape her yard and head butt people. Poddy lambs are super cute but they tend to think they are a human. Clover the lamb is sure that Meg is her mum. Can’t think why… 🤔🤣

It’s been a tough few weeks on the farm. We got It’s been a tough few weeks on the farm. We got through shearing without a hitch (thankfully 🙏) but we’ve had a run of the flu followed by Covid run through the family since then. The kids and I have tested positive (this is my second time getting it 🦠) though so far C has managed to avoid it. There has been a lot of lying on the couch feeling pretty ordinary. Han had to reschedule her driving test for a 4th time due to Covid, which is disappointing for her because she wants her freedom and for us because it would be so much more convenient if she could drive herself places. Just to add in to the mix, our hot water system has chosen now as a good time to die so we’re on cold showers until we’re all out of iso. This is not meant to be a whinging post but sometimes life just sucks a bit and it’s good to be real. Fortunately, the sight of the fire going with a stack of wood next to it cheers us up. Things will improve soon. Onwards we go…
