Jasmine thought about what type of crust she might like to have for her pizza. Then she continued to write notes, condensing all of the information that the Professor had provided. She also had to figure out how she and Cris would divide up the next tasks for making their pizza.

Yes he was good at tossing stuff but Cris decided that for now, since they were supposed to eat what they had baked that it would more practical to use the first two methods she suggested.

Ahhhh...and here's another question? Why drizzle olive oil and garlic salt on to the dough? Cris figured he'd hazard another guess. Raising his hand, he shared his thoughts.

"Professor, could drizzling the olive oil and adding garlic salt over the dough help make it easier to stretch the dough and maybe make the crust nice, thick and chewy? The garlic salt could also add to the taste and flavor of the pizza."

Now that he had shared his thoughts, Cris turned to Jasmine. "So what would you like me to do, Jasmine. These hands are prepared to do anything," Cris asked his girlfriend. Yes she was the cook between the two of them. She would know which task he would be able to undertake without making a mess of it.

As he did this, he thought of his answer. Pausing to raise a hand in the air, the third year answered. ''For flavour and colour. The garlic salt does the first and the oil does the second.'' Now back to rolling the dough.

Okaaaay. Adi's dough wasn't that round. Ugh! He tried to level it out in places until he was satisfied it was round. Sort of. Mostly. Haha. What was next? Oh yes! Use the fork to poke the dough. The boy did just that. What's next, Professor?

So Tag listened as Hadley went on and on about the sugar and salt. He supposed they should learn a little bit more about it since they were using it. And to people the sugar may seem like a really random ingredient.

Now, onto the dough part. They could knead it or roll it out depending on how they preferred their pizza. Tag liked his with a bit of fluff, thicker. He knew what kneading looked like but a question popped into his head as his knuckles working on the dough, turning each side every few seconds after working on it equally. "If we like thicker crust, and have to knead it, do we roll it out afterwards or just keep it however it is once we believe it's kneaded well enough?" They probably didn't need to roll it out? But this was something Tag had never remembered seeing from his father.

"I think the olive oil gives it that slightly browning crust, so it doesn't just look like bland white crust. And the garlic salt gives it flavor, perhaps. Again, so it doesn't taste boring, bland." Tag answered as he worked on the dough.

Lex stared at the chocolate, as if trying to will it to last longer than it currently was but her eyes drifted back to the Slytherin as he began to speak. She could have his dough? Lex grinned even after him mentioning her owing him. "You won't be disappointed--though you might be with the dough. I reckon I should apologize before I get my hands on it. You'll forgive me, won't you?" Of course he would, they were buds. It'd have taken more to change that. Sandwiches in the kitchen sealed all deals. Obviously. This was legit now whether Grayson liked it or not.

Lottie got a nudge and a smile in thanks for getting her a dough so she wouldn't have to start again. Thank you very much Lottie for saving her from starvation, even if only temporary and exaggerated starvation. Ahem.

Oh and they'd be kneading the dough now? Lex wasn't going near the oven. This was muggle studies, no magic allowed, no levitating the pizza into the fire hot oven but she would do this kneading thing.

She didn't know what type of crust Grayson preferred but if he wanted this thing tasting even half decent he'd appreciate her using a rolling pin instead of attempting this with her own devices. The Gryffindor grabbed the pin and began beating at the dough, whacking it over and over until she was sure it was dead until it looked like a lump of dough with holes in it.

Erm....it didn't LOOK like a pizza crust....."Help?"

He lifted his quill and dirtied it with a bit of flour as he took the time to write: Research, Magical Properties of Salt.

Cutty searched for a rolling pin. It was his personal preference that dough and breadly items be of the flatter, thinner sort. Not that he would object to a roll, he just liked thin crust. He pulled out one pin, took one look at it, rejected it, then pulled out another which appeared to be exactly like the one before. Only this one he kept for use when they'd rolled out their dough. Raising his hand then, he offered an answer to Professor Hadley's question, "Maybe it helps with even cooking. If it's cooked in the oven then we obviously can't interfere once the cooking process has begun as we could with something cooked over a stove, so those things probably help ensure one side of the pizza doosen't coom out all black whilst the rest is almost uncooked."

That's very long explanation.

Blink. Blink. Blink.

But they're finally moving on with the dough. Yay! Rolling the dough? She turned her attention to her partner. "Do you mind to roll the dough and I can do the next part?" Simon had more experiences in making pizza than her so its safer if he do it, yes? Hehehe. And for the next question she had absolutely no idea why they have to drizzle their dough with olive oil and garlic salt.

"You add garlic if you wanna have bad breath, and oil is for decoration." You know, it gives it that shine.

Deciding on thick crust just because that meant she could do the rest of the work with her hands, the lion got down to business. She started to knead the dough until her arms hurt. Once she was satisfied with her creation she poked holes in her dough. Her stomach was already starting to growl. How much longer exactly?
