Wasn't she always complaining about the lack of food in her classes?

"So as some of you mentioned, we do use sugar in the dough. Not a lot, but it is there as an ingredient." They'll discuss the whys of each ingredient once they gather all the ingredients together and are waiting for it to rise. But first things first. "Before we begin, please come put on an apron and wash your hands." Their hands were disgusting and grimy and surely they didn't want to get sick from preparing food with dirty hands? She indicated towards the various sizes and coloured aprons that were hanging on the hook by the sink as she donned a yellow one herself. She then retied her hair back into her a low bun. "And also, girls? And boys?" Technically. Ahem, Nigel. "Despite the dose of protein, you'll want to tie your hair back as no one wants hair in their pizza."

Whilst they were getting on their own aprons and washing their hair, Hadley set to work on copying the recipe onto the portable chalkboard:

1 1/2 cup warm water
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon. yeast
1/2 teaspoon salt
3-4 1/2 cups flour

Step One: Using one of the bowls at your workstation, combine the water, sugar, and yeast. Let the mixture stand for 10 minutes (or until yeast is bubbly)

Step Two: Add salt and stir.

Step Three: Add 1/2 cup flour and mix well, gradually adding more flour (usually no more than 3-4 1/2 cups) until the dough starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl and no longer sticks to your fingers. You'll want to add just 1/2 a cup at a time.

Step Four: Spray the other bowl with cooking spray and place dough in the bowl.

Step Five: Cover and allow the dough to rise for 45 minutes, or until its doubled in size.

"So the recipe for the dough is on the board. You may work in pairs, or individually, as there's enough ingredients for both options." Anything else they needed to know? "We'll discuss more about the ingredients after we get the dough prepared while we're waiting for it to rise." In the meantime they had to get the dough prepared, as that was possibly the longest part in the whole process.

Once she made sure everyone to got to work, Hadley settled into her own workstation. Because at least if they failed (and she was expecting at least SOME of their pizzas to not come out right), they would have one good pie.

ooc: Dough prep time! I'll check back in about 11 hours or so for questions and whatnot. Feel free to make your character add too little or too much ingredients (if its IC of them to do so). And in about 17-18 hours, we'll be at step five - the waiting game and have some more discussion!

Ascanius would have been wounded by that look if he cared, yeah? He knew that she was lumping him in with the general crowd of quiet, but it didn't mean that they didn't work. Just meant that they understood talking in any class at this school was futile. Everyone else jumped in and down every Professor's throat to try and get out their textbook perfect answer.

So he refrained from talking in mostly ~~every~~ class.

Gathering an apron, but not before cleaning his hands really quickly, Ascanius tied a blue apron around his waist and paused. Second time in his life he had donned an apron and for the second time he was reminded just how AMAZING he looked in one. Downright criminal. If only Alice could see him now.

He then collected what he needed and got to work on the dough. Needed this nice and perfect to be effective at all. Nothing was worse then bad pizza.

Firstly, he took one of the bowls at his station and added in water, sugar and yeast being careful with each of the measurements as they were instructed. It was followed by the ten longest minutes of his life, especially since he was up on energy right now, when finally the yeast was nice and bubbly.

Jeez, he never wanted to make dough again.

Then he added half a teaspoon of salt and stirred. With his baking hand and whisk. The tool of champion artists in the kitchen.

Then he added a half cup of flour and mixed that. With each passing minute he added a dash her or there, just to make the consistency juussst right. When the dough started to stick to the whisk Ascanius cursed himself. He should have used a wooden spoon. Would have made getting all the dough out easier.

Too late now. He added in a half cup of water.

Grabbing another bowl, he sprayed it and threw in the dough into it. Done. Almost. Ish.
