Hello, thanks for choosin' this lesson.

My name's Mr. Ballam, and this lesson is all around making a tear 'n' share pizza.

Let's get started, shall we? So what are we going to learn? Well, you're going to be using your different food skills to make a tear 'n' share pizza.

That sounds exciting, doesn't it? But before we get started, there are some keywords which I want to go through, and we're going to look at these keywords in today's lesson.

Now the first one is kneading, and this is the process of pulling, folding, and stretching the dough.

The second one is carbon dioxide, which you've probably heard of before, and it's a colourless, odourless gas.

The next one is prove, and in this context, it allows the dough to rest and then used to produce a gas.

The gas is the carbon dioxide.

And the last word is yeast, and it's a microorganism that produces a gas, the carbon dioxide, during making and baking a dough.

So let's get started with the first part of the lesson, which is all around pizza dough and toppings.

Now, there are lots of different pizzas around the world, and they're really popular, and often they're shared with family and friends.

Pizzas have lots of different types of toppings.

I'm sure you have your favourite, I know I do.

And the style of dough and the type of topping can differ around the world, and traditionally, pizzas are round, but they can be folded, rectangular, or perhaps rolled into pinwheels too.

Now the base of a pizza is made from a dough, a bit like bread dough, and the dough is made from these ingredients.

The first one is flour, and flour is milled from wheat, and it provides the main structure of the dough.

The other ingredient that's really important is yeast.

Do you remember it's a microorganism that produces a gas, carbon dioxide, during making and baking a dough, helping the bread to rise? We're also going to be using salt, and this gives some flavour to the dough, but also works with the yeast.

And also, we're going to use water, and this combines everything together.

Plus it activates the yeast, so it can produce the gas, the carbon dioxide.

So these are the four main ingredients we're going to use in our dough.

So to make the dough, the flour, yeast, salt, and water are all mixed together, and it forms a nice soft dough.

And then we knead the dough for 10 minutes, and kneading is the process of pulling, folding, and stretching the dough.

And as the dough is kneaded, it starts to become smooth and elastic, so it's a really important step when making a bread dough or a pizza dough.

And then after the dough's been kneaded, it is left to prove.

Do you remember that keyword that we looked at? And proving is an important step in making the dough.

This step allows the dough to rest and the yeast to produce the gas, the carbon dioxide, helping the bread to rise.

And the gas, or the carbon dioxide, is trapped in the dough, causing the bread to rise.

So let's have a quick check for understanding, shall we? What happens when the dough proves, A, B, C, or D? Yes, that's right, it's C, isn't it? The dough rises.

Do you remember, the gas, the carbon dioxide, is produced? It's trapped in the dough and helps the dough to rise, to expand.

Brilliant work, well done to you.

We also then shape the dough into the pizza, and the shape might be round, oblong, square, rectangular, or folded, for example.

Now what types of pizza shapes have you seen? I bet you've seen lots of different types, but most common is probably round pizza, but it comes in lots of different shapes.

And pizzas can have a wide range of toppings, catering for our different food preferences, for example.

So it might be that I'm a vegetarian or you're a vegetarian, or perhaps the different preferences around different ingredients that you like.

So Lucas is here saying, "I like anchovies." Do you know what anchovies are? They're little fish that are put on top and they're very salty, but I think they're delicious.

Or it might be different health needs.

So like Jacob is here saying he needs his five a day, so perhaps lots of different vegetables on top of the pizza.

Or perhaps Sam has an allergy, so perhaps it's an allergy to gluten, so we need to use a gluten-free flour.

Or perhaps an allergy to cheese, for example, on the pizza, so using a non-dairy alternative.

And then maybe it's a different occasion.

So perhaps Izzy's having a pizza party, so that might be quite fun.

Or perhaps it's for your family to share.

So there are lots of different toppings, catering for lots of different needs.

Now the base of a pizza is usually covered in a tomato sauce, and a basic tomato sauce can be made with garlic, tomatoes, and herbs.

Pesto, a cheese sauce, or garlic and oil can also be used as an alternative.

Would you like just a traditional tomato or would you have something different? I bet some of you would choose something different, wouldn't you? I've even had a base that's got cauliflower cheese on it, imagine that.

So let's have a quick check for understanding, shall we? So true or false, the base of a pizza is always covered in a sauce made from tomatoes? Is that true or false? Well, that's false, isn't it? And why is that? Well, while a sauce is made from tomatoes and it's very traditional, the base can also be covered in things, like pesto, a cheese sauce, or perhaps just garlic and oil.

So there are lots of different options, and we can be creative, brilliant work.

And there are lots of different toppings that we can choose as well.

So we might have lots of different types of vegetables, for example, on our pizza, or perhaps sometimes, we can have fruit on our pizza too.

Now, can you name five different types of toppings, either vegetables or fruit? Hmm, what might they be? Well, let's have a look at vegetables, shall we, just some examples.

Well, it could be mushrooms, they're nice, onion, peppers, olives, or spinach, for example.

They'd all be lovely, wouldn't they, on a pizza? And for fruit we can have pineapple.

I'm sure some of you have had a ham and pineapple pizza before, or perhaps dates, they're delicious.

Or how about pear, or how about apple, for example, or perhaps even grapes? So there are lots of different types of vegetables and fruit that we can put as toppings on our pizza, but toppings also include things like cheese or perhaps fish as well.

Now, can you name two types of toppings for each? So two types of cheese, two types of fish.

Hmm, what would the cheese be? Well, that's right.

One of them could be mozzarella, which is a very traditional cheese that you put on a pizza.

Or perhaps it could be a cheddar cheese from the UK.

Perhaps even a blue cheese, that would be really tasty, wouldn't it? And how about fish? Well, tuna fish you could have or perhaps prawns or perhaps anchovies.

Do you remember Lucas Liked those? And we can also have toppings that include meat, for example, or perhaps different types of herbs.

So again, can you name two toppings for each? Well, the meat could be things like pepperoni or perhaps ham, for example.

Or how about chicken? And herbs? Well, basil, well, that's a very traditional herb that we might use on pizza, or perhaps oregano or perhaps some dried mixed herbs.

So again, we've got lots of different types of toppings that we can put on our pizzas.

And when the dough is baked, the yeast continues to produce the gas, the carbon dioxide.

It's the warmth from the oven that helps it produce the gas.

And the dough continues to rise until the heat kills the yeast.

And as the dough cooks, it turns a golden brown colour.

So you can see the examples on the screen.

Have you made something like this before? Perhaps like Laura, perhaps you've made bread before, have you? And pizzas also come in a range of different shapes and sizes too, so it could be a deep pan pizza, or perhaps thin and crispy, or how about mini pizzas, or perhaps ones that are folded.

Now, do you know what a folded pizza is called? Hmm, that's a bit tricky that one, isn't it? Ah, thank you, Aisha, yes, a folded pizza is called a calzone.

So there are different types of shapes and sizes of pizzas, and other shapes and sizes could be that we could just share a pizza.

So we just cut into triangles here, into slices, you can see on the screen.

Or perhaps it's a square pizza, like a Detroit pizza, or perhaps it's a Chicago pizza, which is called a deep pan pizza.

So again, lots of different shapes and sizes.

And Jacob here has got a bit of history for us.

And the modern pizza was created in Naples, in Italy, around the 18th century.

Wow, it's been around a long time, hasn't it? So I've got a task for you here, and I want you to be creative, and I want you to create three pizzas for the pupils below.

And I want you to think about the shape and the toppings that you would use and explain your decisions.

So the first one is Aisha.

She's saying, "I'm a vegetarian." The second one is Jacob, and he's saying, "I need five a day." And the third one is Jun, and he's saying, "It's for my family to share." So I want you to come up with three different pizzas for the pupils below, thinking about the shape and the toppings, and explain your decisions.

Good luck to you.

Pause the video, and we'll come back and look at some examples very soon, bye.

Okay, so how did you get on? I bet you did brilliantly, didn't you? Well, let's look at the first one together, shall we, just an example.

So this pizza for Aisha could include different types of vegetables because she's a vegetarian, so things like courgette, onions, sweet corn, and chilies.

And perhaps it could just be a round shape because it's just for her.

So keep it lovely and traditional, and why? Well, with vegetables only because she's a vegetarian, and the vegetables are colourful.

I picked lots of different types there, and I think she will like the spicy chilies too.

And how about Jacob for his five a day? Well, my pizza for him is gonna have tomato, spinach, garlic, mushrooms, and chicken too.

And it's gonna be folded.

It's going to be a calzone pizza, and it's gonna be served with some salad.

And why am I going to do this? Well, first of all, I've got lots of different types of vegetables on my pizza, just to help with five a day.

Also, I thought Jacob would like a calzone because it's something different.

And lastly, to help with his five a day, he's gonna have a side salad with his pizza too.

Brilliant, now let's look at the last one together, shall we? So this is for the family to share, do you remember? So here, the pizza is a large rectangle pizza, and it is split into different sections with different toppings, hopefully because there's something for everyone.

And why have I done this? Well, the first reason is that the rectangle can be easily sliced, and I've got different sections, meaning that the family should get something that they enjoy and like.

Brilliant work, well done.

And I'm sure whatever you've come up with has been creative and brilliant too.

Now let's move on to the next part of the lesson, which is all about making your tear 'n' share pizza.

So you're going to use lots of different food skills, and one of the first important ones is measuring.

And we're going to use the weighing scales, so we need to make sure the weighing scales always display zero before you weigh.

That's really important so they're accurate.

We're also going to be using a measuring jug, so we can measure the liquid we're going to use.

And we need to put this on a flat surface, so we measure the right amount.

And we're also going to be measuring with measuring spoons and make sure you use the right spoon.

Another food skill we're going to use is mixing, and here, we're going to mix together the flour, the yeast, the salt, and the water together.

And as you make the dough, if the dough is too dry, you can just add a little bit of water with a spoon to help it all come together.

Or if it's too sticky, you can add a little bit of flour with a spoon, just to make sure it becomes a nice firm soft dough again.

And the reason I'm using a spoon is just so that we can be more precise when we're adding a little bit of water or a little bit of flour.

We're also going to be kneading, and we're going to knead the dough on a floured surface.

To get the flour there, you can use a flour dredger, or just use a spoon of flour from a bag or a bowl.

And the process of kneading, do you remember? Is about pulling, folding, and stretching the dough, and it's really important we do this.

And we're going to knead the dough for about 10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.

So let's have a quick check for understanding, shall we? So how long do we need to knead the dough? Is it A, B, C, or D? Yes, that's right, it's B, 10 minutes, well done.

So more food skills we're going to use.

We're going to be grating, and we're going to grate the cheese.

And we're gonna hold the grater down firmly on a chopping board.

And we need to be really careful when we grate, 'cause the grater is sharp.

Now, let's have a look at grating in action, shall we? So here, the pupil is holding the grater down carefully onto the chopping board, and then rubbing the food down the grater carefully so they don't grate their knuckles or their fingers.

And then, when they're finished, they just pull the grater up.

Another food skill we're going to use is slicing, so we're going to be slicing the mushrooms. And we want to make sure that the mushrooms are all sliced the same size, the same width.

And we're going to use a cutting technique called the claw grip.

Let's see the claw grip in action, shall we? So here, the pupil's making a claw with one hand to hold the food, and then running the knife down to slice the food.

And they're using their fingertips, just to guide it along to make sure all the slices are the same size, the same width.

Another food skill we're going to use is spreading, and we're going to be spreading the tomato sauce over the dough.

And we're going to spread the sauce evenly over the dough, either using a table knife or the back of a spoon.

And it's important that we leave a one centimetre gap around the edges, just like in the photo.

We're also going to be rolling out, and here, we're going to be rolling out the dough into a rectangle about 30 centimetres by 25 centimetres.

And again, we're going to roll the dough out on a floured surface, so use a flour dredger, or use a little bit of the flour, using a spoon from the bag or a bowl.

And we can always use a clean ruler to check our rectangle just to make sure it's the right size.

So let's have a quick check, shall we? So what equipment can you use to measure the rolled-out dough, is it A, B, or C? Yes, that's right, it's B, isn't it? It's a ruler, well done.

Another food skill we're going to use is rolling up, and here, we're going to be rolling up the dough, starting at the longish edge.

We're just gonna roll up all the dough very carefully, and we're gonna continue to roll it up until it looks like a Swiss roll, so everything is rolled together lovely and tightly.

We're also going to be slicing, and here, we're going to slice the rolled-up dough into eight.

And we need to make sure that the pieces are of a uniform size, so they cook evenly.

And then we're going to place the eight pieces into a rectangle on the baking tray so they're touching each other.

And another food skill we're going to use is using the oven.

And we're going to be baking, and we're gonna bake our pizza for 'round about 15 to 20 minutes.

And remember, we should always use oven gloves when we're putting food into or taking food out of the oven.

It's really hot.

Okay, so now I want you to go and make your tear 'n' share pizza, but before you get going, I want you to think about these two things.

So first of all, I want you to get ready to cook, so you need to tie up any long hair, remove your jumpers, wash your hands, and wear a clean apron.

And also, you need to make sure you get your ingredients and your equipment ready so you're ready to cook.

And then when you are preparing and cooking, I want you to be safe and hygienic.

And also, I want you to think about using your food skills accurately and precisely too.

So here are the ingredients that you need.

Now, you might want to pause the video while you get these ready.

And here's the equipment you need, and here's one part of the method, and here's the second part of the method, and here's the last part of the method.

So, good luck to you, get everything ready, follow the recipe, and I'm sure you'll do absolutely brilliantly.

Good luck to you, pause the video.

Okay, so how did you get on? I bet you did absolutely fantastically, didn't you? Did you enjoy making your pizza? Does it smell good? Has anybody eaten it yet? I'm sure some of you have.

So let's have a quick look through the tear 'n' share pizza recipe to see how successful you were.

So the first thing you would've done would be to preheat the oven, so it's really hot, so it's ready for us to cook.

Then we would've lined the baking tray, sliced the mushrooms, grated the cheese, and then mixed all the ingredients together to make that nice soft dough, do you remember? Then you would've kneaded the dough for 10 minutes, and we're gonna do that on a floured work surface.

Then we would've rolled the dough out into a rectangle, and then we would've spread the tomato pasta sauce over the dough, leaving about a one centimetre gap all around the edge.

Then we would've sprinkled the mushrooms, cheese, sweet corn, and the different herbs on top, and then we would've rolled up the dough using its long edge.

Then we would've sliced it into eight pieces, and then we would've put the pieces next to each other, do you remember, in a rectangle on a baking tray, so they're touching each other.

Then we would've covered it, and allowed it to prove for about 20 minutes.

And then we'd have baked it in the oven, again, for about 15 to 20 minutes.

And I'm sure it was absolutely delicious.

Brilliant work, well done to you.

Well, I really hope you've enjoyed today's lesson making a tear 'n' share pizza, but we've learned so much more as well, haven't we? We've learned that pizza is a really popular food around the world, often shared with family and friends, and that pizzas have a base with many different types of toppings.

And we've learned that a pizza dough is made from flour, yeast, salt, and water, and it is kneaded to make a smooth and elastic dough.

We've also learned that the pizza dough is proved, and this gives the yeast time to produce the gas, the carbon dioxide, and it helps the dough to rise.

And we've used lots of different food skills today, so things like measuring, mixing, kneading, grating, slicing, rolling out, spreading, rolling up, and using the oven.

Wow, there's so much there.

Well look, I really hope you enjoyed today's lesson and I hope you come back very soon for another cooking and nutrition lesson with me.

Thanks a lot, bye.
