Pizza Reddi Pizza Supplies

If you think pizza, you think Italy. If you think Italy, you think Italian coffee. If you think Italian coffee, you think espresso.

Now, when I think espresso, I immediately think cappuccino, stiff milk froth and luxury. Just thinking about cappuccino, I can almost smell the luxury brands and the wonderful aroma that makes your mouth water.

I used to think that it was really hard to make a good cappuccino. Of course it all depends on the two main ingredients, the perfect coffee and the perfect froth. It took me a long time to find the best espresso maker and when I finally found the machine that allowed for a fabulous espresso, within my budget, I found that the froth maker on the side really did not work that well.

I would end up with the perfect espresso and the little froth I was able to make, would immediately collapse, turning my cappuccino in a regular cafe late. That was, until I came across a little milk frother capable of creating the most wonderful fluffy froth in a matter of only a few seconds. No longer did my cappuccino froth collapse, the froth I can make with this little appliance, is so dense that you can actually put a sugar cube on top and it will stay there, until you actually start mixing it with the hot espresso underneath.

Puff pastry has the same basic ingredients as plain or flaky pastry. Because of their low melting points, butter or margarine is usually employed as the shortening. Here again ordinary flour is used. While the mixing is different, it requires only patience. Flour, salt, and ice water are stirred until they are just blended, and the mixture is set aside for half an hour at room temperature. The dough is then rolled out on a floured board, and small pieces of shortening are laid all over it. Folded in and rested for a few minutes, the dough is then rolled out to a thickness of a quarter of an inch, folded again, wrapped in waxed paper, and chilled. Over again, the rolling and wrapping and chilling continue: it is this repetition which is the secret of the delicate result. In the end the paste is baked. The mass, which is shaped to suit the purpose, puffs into a patty shell, forming a tasty and handsome vehicle for crabmeat or other filling.

The cream puff is a variety of puff paste that uses eggs in its batter. The leavening agent in all puff pastry is the air trapped in the strong walls of flour, water, and shortening. In cream puffs beaten egg whites furnish added strength. These shells can be made in any size and flavored to contain dessert fillings as well as chicken salad or other dishes.

Once the art of making puff paste is mastered, many variations can be achieved to match the napoleons, eclairs, and other creations of the professional baker. Prepared mixes have shortened the time required for preliminary steps and have made the preparation of exotic pastries possible for the imaginative cook.
