How to Make and Form Pizza Dough: A Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Getting Started
Start with a medium bowl that's been lightly coated with olive oil. Add warm water (about 110 degrees F), dry yeast and sugar. Note: The activated yeast feeds on the sugar and makes the dough rise. In another bowl, combine flour and salt. Have a fork, cutting board, knife, pizza pan and rolling pin (optional) handy.

Step 2: Make a Well in the Center of the Dough
In the bowl containing the flour and salt, make a well in the center and add the yeast. Tip: If the yeast doesn't foam, check the expiration date and water temperature (should be approximately 110 degrees F). Add the olive oil. Use a fork to pull the dry into the wet, then mix.

Step 3: Knead the Dough
When the dough starts to come together, get in there with your hands and knead it for a few minutes on a lightly floured board. Use the heel of your hand to push the dough down and forward. Give it a few turns. You're done when the dough is a little tacky.

Step 4: Cover the Dough in Plastic Wrap
Place the kneaded dough into the oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm spot until it doubles in size. Tip: Chart the progress of the rising dough by using a marker on the plastic wrap to circle the size of the ball of dough at the beginning of the process. It can take anywhere from 1 to 2 hours for the dough to rise, depending on the recipe and ambient temperature.

Step 5: Check to See If the Dough Is Done
If the dough leaves an indentation when poked, it's ready.

Step 6: Divide the Dough
Once the dough has risen properly, use a knife to divide it. The larger the piece, the bigger the pizza; the smaller portions are easier to handle at home. Form into balls for individual pizzas, and place on a plate. Cover with a damp cloth. Let the balls of dough rest until you poke them and see an indentation.

Step 7: Shape the Dough
Sprinkle a pizza pan with a little semolina for good separation and a nutty crunch. Place a ball of dough in the center of the pan and spread it out, using a rolling pin or your hands. Spin it. Pull the dough to the edges of the pan to thin out the center. Add some more semolina for better separation. Make sure the thickness is even.

Step 8: Top the Pizza and Bake
Top the spread dough with your favorite ingredients and bake in a 500-degree F oven for approximately 10 minutes. Perfect pizza every time. 

Apple iPhone 11 Pro review: If money is not an issue then this is the complete package

Before I begin my review of the iPhone 11 Pro, let’s rewind to the 2007 Apple keynote. Steve Jobs, the then CEO, and co-founder of Apple started his presentation by talking about this revolutionary product that is a mobile phone, a widescreen iPod with touch controls and a breakthrough internet communications device, which is today commonly known as the iPhone. 

Sure it might not seem like a big deal today, but back in 2007, the original iPhone was a breakthrough device that set the stage for the revolution of the modern smartphone era. 

Apple, then, soon started its iconic ‘If you don’t have an iPhone, you don’t have an iPhone’ campaign. The series of ads were all about what features you miss out on other smartphones that you could get only on an iPhone. Collectively, the iPhone has been put forward as ‘The Smartphone’ that consumers should buy.

Jump to 2019, and the iPhone has ‘Pro’gressed a long way. With the iPhone 11 Pro, you get a close-to-full screen display, a dominant performance unit that is far ahead from the next-best, and improved cameras. The iPhone 11 Pro also has the best battery life ever in an iPhone of its size. 

The price, too, has sky-rocketed to a premium of nearly Rs 1 lakh for the base variant. Is Apple’s latest and greatest iPhone worth your money? 

I've been using the iPhone 11 Pro for well over a month and here is what I think about it.

Design and Display

Apple is known for not making any significant year-on-year design changes on the iPhone.

From the front, the iPhone 11 Pro continues to have the same design architecture as the iPhone X and the iPhone XS. Having said that, iPhone users who plan to upgrade who are most likely to be on an iPhone 7 (like me) or later, might find this to be quite a new design.

There’s a 5.8-inch screen with a wide notch on top for the front camera and Face ID sensors. Compared to the previous generation, Apple says the Face ID is faster and can now detect the face from a wider range. It does feel a bit faster, but you still need to lean over and look directly at the iPhone when its kept on a flat surface like your work desk. 

After reviewing phones like the OnePlus 7T (Review) and the Realme X2 Pro (Review), I thought the wider notch on the iPhone 11 Pro would be bothersome. But to be honest, it wasn’t the case.

Unlock the iPhone 11 Pro, and you will see that the OLED screen, which Apple calls Super Retina XDR, is also brighter and better. The display can get as bright as 800 nits in normal conditions and can hit even brighter — up to 1,200 nits — when viewing HDR10 content.

The iPhone 11 Pro’s display offers excellent levels of colour accuracy and sharpness, thanks to the wide colour gamut and TrueTone panel. You would appreciate the screen like I did while watching shows on streaming services like Netflix and Apple TV+. The display does make you notice those deep blacks, especially when you are watching shows like Stranger Things where the scenes are relatively dark. 

What complements the viewing experience is the combination of Dolby Atmos and spatial surround sound that together offer a loud and clear audio experience.

Even in direct sunlight, the screen performed quite impressively, and I didn’t face any issues with brightness levels between 60-80 percent. I kept the True Tone display (TTD) enabled most of the time during my over-a-month long experience. True Tone display, basically, adjusts the colour and intensity of the screen depending upon the ambient light. With TTD off, you’ll notice that the screen’s colour temperature leans a bit towards the cooler side. 

To sum up the display review on the iPhone 11 Pro, I wouldn’t mind calling it the best display on a smartphone. If you don't believe me, check the DisplayMate score which rates the iPhone 11 Pro’s display as A+.

If I were to complain, I wish Apple could’ve launched the iPhone 11 Pro and the iPhone 11 Pro Max with a ProMotion high refresh rate display. 

5 Tips That Will Change How You Clean Your Kitchen

Use Tea to Save Your Stove from Splatters

This tip went viral when our books premiered on EVINE Live: Use tea to keep gunk from sticking to your stove. Brew a pot of tea that is four times normal strength, then wipe it on your stove. The tannins in the tea will make it hard for grease and food to stick, making cleaning quick and easy.

DIY All-Purpose Orange Cleaner

We love the scent of orange in our kitchen, and we love this all-purpose cleaner made from orange peels even more. It works great on all kinds of kitchen surfaces like countertops, sinks, and greasy stoves, and all you need are the peels of several oranges, plain white vinegar, water, a spray bottle, and a glass jar with screw-top lid (a Mason jar works perfectly). Place the orange peels into the glass jar, cover with vinegar, and leave for several weeks in a cool spot. Then transfer some of the mixture to a spray bottle and add two parts water. Shake to combine, and it’s ready to use. Your family will love the scent!

Second Use for Used Baking Soda

Instead of throwing away baking soda away when it’s finished its 30-day stint in your fridge, dump it down the garbage disposal with running water. It will keep your disposal fresh too!

Make Oven Cleaning Easy

The secret to make oven cleaning easy is to take care of spills the second they happen. If there’s a sticky mess on the bottom of your oven,  sprinkle salt on top as soon as possible. After a little while in a hot oven, the spill will turn to ash and you can easily wipe it up with a wet cloth once your oven cools.

Top of the Fridge? No Problem

The top of the refrigerator can get gross, fast, thanks to tiny food particles that float into the air on steam and end up there. Make it easy to clean by topping it with a layer of plastic wrap each month. Then simply remove the plastic wrap and replace. You can barely see it, and you’ll never have to wipe down the top of your fridge again.

Caring for Your Sick Child

When your kid is sick with a cold or any respiratory virus, most parents jump to action. When it comes to most common respiratory viruses, however, your child usually just needs lots of TLC for their symptoms—not a prescription or over-the-counter medication. If your child has influenza (the flu), a prescription can help, but they'll still need at-home care to relieve their symptoms. Here's what to do and what to watch for when your child is sick.

Colds vs. Influenza

First, be sure you know how to distinguish a cold from the flu, because a child with the flu may need to see a doctor. "Colds and flu are both highly contagious and, in the initial stages, a bad cold and a mild case of the flu might seem alike," according to the Centers for Disease Control. "However, flu is a serious illness that can have life-threatening complications, unlike colds." The flu usually comes on suddenly and may include these symptoms:

• Fever
• Headache
• Tiredness/weakness (can be extreme)
• Dry cough
• Sore throat
• Runny nose
• Body or muscle aches
• Diarrhea and vomiting (These less common flu symptoms are mostly seen in children.)

Note that influenza is different from what many people call "stomach flu." Influenza is a respiratory illness. A stomach bug affects the gastrointestinal tract, and the two main symptoms are vomiting and diarrhea.

When to Call the Doctor

If you suspect that your child has the flu, seek treatment within the first 48 hours in order to receive antiviral medications such as Tamiflu.

Even if you don't suspect the flu, contact your doctor right away if your child has any of these symptoms:

• High (over 100.4 F) or prolonged (three or more days) fever, or any fever in a baby younger than 3 months
• Fast breathing or trouble breathing
• Bluish skin color
• Not drinking enough fluids (showing signs of dehydration)
• Changes in mental status, such as not waking up or not interacting or being so irritable that the child does not want to be held
• Seizures
• Flu-like symptoms that improve but then return with fever and worse cough
• Worsening of underlying chronic medical conditions (for example, heart or lung disease, diabetes)

Caring for a Sick Child

If you're caring for your sick kid at home, check with your doctor before giving any over-the-counter medicines. Some have ingredients that are not recommended for children. Others may not be recommended for the symptoms your child has, and most should not be given to children under the age of 2.

Make your child comfortable and let them sleep as much as possible. Keep their door open and the house quiet. Check on them frequently to make sure the sheets are dry and to gauge their fever and breathing. Keep water within reach for when they awaken.

Almost every sick child needs lots of rest and lots of fluids.

Fever

High fevers are common in children and very scary for parents, but are a sign that your child's body is fighting back against an infection. Dress your child in lightweight, breathable clothes. Make sure they rest a lot and drinks plenty of fluids (such as water, juice, and Popsicles).

Don't give aspirin to children or teens due to the risk of Reye's syndrome. Tylenol (acetaminophen) can help bring down a fever. Advil (ibuprofen) is also acceptable for children over the age of 6 months. Again, check with your doctor before giving medicine, even over-the-counter products made for children. Sometimes dosages can be confusing.

Vomiting

A frequent dilemma with a high fever is vomiting that prevents the fever-reducing medication from doing its job. Acetaminophen suppositories can be kept in the refrigerator for just such emergencies. Bring the fever down with a suppository and the vomiting often eases. Occasionally, doctors will prescribe a Phenergan (promethazine) suppository for very serious vomiting in a child.

For milder cases, keep a bucket or basin and some old towels handy. Offer the child small sips of water and bland foods if they can tolerate them. Watch for signs of dehydration.

The best baby food brands you’ll feel happy feeding your baby

SOME parents think they’ll be preparing all of baby’s meals from scratch, but the reality is, you’ll need some baby food staples in the house, too.

Whether you’re running out the door or don’t have time to prepare a meal, pre-prepared baby food can be a lifesaver.

1. Best all-rounder baby food brand: Ella's Kitchen

The pouches are available at retailers everywhere, so you can typically sort baby out of a bind whether you're doing the weekly supermarket shop or you're in the middle of a National Trust visit.

The brand can also accommodate for a range of food sensitivities with dairy and gluten-free options (among others).

Ella's Kitchen also has a frozen range for Big Kids, featuring staples with a signature (cute) Ella's Kitchen twist.

Think cod fish fingers shaped like fish, chicken nuggets that look like stars and pea and squash mac-and-cheese bites.

Although your five-year-old will still happily inhale a Stage 1 fruit pouch at any opportunity.

2. Best budget baby food brand: Aldi Mamia Organic

Parents love Aldi's Mamia food range, which features organic pouches, fruit pots, meals and snacks at unbeatable prices.

3. Best supermarket-own baby food brand: Sainsbury's Little Ones range

Sainsbury's launched its own-brand range, developed with nutritionist Fiona Wilcock, in 2018.
