Muggle Studies Lesson One {into the Kitchens!} From the first floor, Professor Hadley leads the way down to the kitchens where we'll get started with the main portion of the lesson, which is very hands-on (basically meaning that discussion shall happen whilst you work!) Spread out on each of the five tables are various workstations that were pre-set before you arrived. By each workstation consisted of: a pizza stone and french rolling pin. Along with various food items: a jar of red pasta sauce, shredded mozzarella cheese, olive oil, garlic salt, dried oregano, sugar, yeast, salt, and flour. And of course measuring spoons and cups, along with the necessary bowls. "First things first, we need to make the dough. Now I don't normally recommend using magic in this class, but I'll make an exception for getting the necessary amount of water, you may use the aguamentis charm." "Which ingredients do you think we need at your workstation for making the dough?" Lesson Progression {for this thread anyway}

Tag followed Hadley to the kitchens and then, yes, he bounced on his feet when he saw all the ingredients on the tables. PIZZA! YES! Excellent. Tag was getting practice in. He glanced at the ingredients and then listened to what the question was. What did they need for the dough making. He was so excited for this. Yep. This would be the best class ever. "I think we're gonna need the rolling pin, salt, water, sugar, yeast and flour. And all the measuring stuff as well." Tag was almost certain that's what they needed. And did she expect the sauce on as well when Hadley said 'dough'? Yes? No? "And the tomato sauce, if you wanna take it a step further into dough making." |
They were going to be making Pizza Awesome! This lesson just got an hundred times more interesting. Adi eyed the ingredients at the tables. Hmmm. What would they be needing for the dough? Flours was the obvious ingredient but he was certain there were other stuff that went into the dough. "Um...Flour, salt and yeast, Professor.'' At least he thought salt was one of the ingredients. Yeast was for sure though. |
Simon followed closely behind the Professor to the Kitchens as soon as he entered he glanced about the room. He saw the ingredients. They were making pizza? He exhaled a sigh of relief. Phew. He actually knew how to make that. Phew. He quickly made a note of each of the items that were there in his notebook. It'd be good to have it for later. So what did they need for the dough? Simon raised his hand. "Flour, olive oil, sugar, yeast, and salt. Also a rolling pin. " |
AJ followed the professor and the rest of the students to the kitchen. Once she arrived she immediately saw that they would be making pizza. YUM! Her mouth started to water just thinking about it. They were going to be using the aguamenti charm, and that was an added bonus because that was actually one spell that she had mastered. Thinking about the question that was asked, she raised her hand. "Flour, professor." That was essential yes? |
Arriving at the kitchen, Cris had barely had a chance to put his things down at one of the tables when Professor Hadley posed another question. Dough? What was required to make dough? Glancing over at the utensils provided plus the big pizza stone, Cris hazarded a guess that they would be making pizza today. Raising his hand, Cris replied,"i think you'd need flour, yeast, salt. How about spices, Professor, especially if you want the crust to have a certain distinct taste? And of course water." |
Pizza. That was all Ascanius saw when he walked in the room. A smirk rolled up on his lips and he looked around to see if he could spot his girlfriend. No doubt she would be thrilled about the latest development in class. Pizza was, y'know, kind of her thing. Anyway, he listened back in on class and didn't comment. Everyone else had the answers. No need to add in. |
Toby really would be zero help with this portion of the lesson. He was so monumentally awful at cooking as it took a lot more patience and focus than he tended to have. Tobias often moved from one activity to another, but now this was part of a CLASS he had no choice but to learn this stuff, so y'know, that was GOOD. But yeah, point was that he had nooooooooooo idea what ingredients they would need, so while his classmates offered answers to the question he merely eyed the ingredients at his workstation with great interest. So THIS would all turn into a pizza? That was wild. |
They were making pizza?? Based on the the ingredients and other stuff that was supplied, it seemed so. Yes, this was a good lesson. It was. Penelope was gonna just let the other students answer this question though. Tag got a grin - he understood like she did how awesome pizza was - and then Ascanius got one too when she spotted him - just because - and then her focus went to sorta listening to the answers others were giving. Sounded pretty accurate for the most part so far. |
Entering the kitchens, it looked like they wouldn't be baking cookies but pizza. Which Layla didn't really mind, as long as she could put her own ingredients on. Well, aside from the normal tomato sauce and cheese, of course. Healthy ingredients, of course. None of this pepperoni or any of that nonsense. Staring at the ingredients in front of her, Layla picked out two right off that would be used in a dough. "Aside from the water, I would use flour and yeast." Yep, yep. |
Hayden followed the group down to the kitchens. At least she knew where it was, because it was right by her common room. She was looking forward to the practical part of this class, because it didn't seem very hard. She'd helped a little bit in the kitchen at home, though her parents hadn't let her do too much. Maybe, when they were done, they'd even get to eat their creations. When they arrived, Hayden found an empty station and stood waiting for instructions. She didn't bother answering the question because several people had already said what she would have and there was no need to repeat the same things. She'd get her chance to answer something later. |
Oooh yummm pizza. Yep, definitely Zander kind of lesson. This is perfect. Hadley, it's like you read his mind. Quickly making his way to one of the workstations, the Gryffindor couriousily eyed the ingredients. His stomach let out a low grumble as he eyed the cheese. Looking around the room to make sure he was as sneaky as possible, the third year pinched a little of the shredded cheese and put it in his mouth. YUM. He then looked up as Hadley began speaking once more. Well Zander had never made pizza before... But he most certainly ate, many pizzas before. "Definitely the yeast and flour? Possibly sugar and salt?" Maybe... He wasn't sure. What did it matter anyways, it was all going to get eaten in the end! |
They were going to be making pizza? Freaking. YES. Having followed Hadley and the others down to the kitchens, the boy smirked a little as he looked around at the various ingredients. This class was starting to bump up in his likeness scale. Uh huh. This class was also dead important. This pizza making skill was dead important. If you knew how to make it well -- and had the effort to do so -- you could save yourself a loooooot of money. See? Dead useful. Grayson headed over towards a workstation and stood there. He did register the fact that Hadley had asked something about how to make the dough, a question that the Sassy Loony over there was aaaallll too eager to answer. Not wanting to repeat any of the answers, the fourth year looked around at his workstation instead. If this was anything like potions, he was going to make one great pizza. If not................ ...................... WELL. No magic involved apart from the Aguamenti Charm. Good. In case someone burnt something. How long would it take for someone to burn something? |
As Kace made his way into the kitchens, he saw the rolling pins and all the ingredients. He even saw the ovens preheated. He grinned and was so happy they were making pizza! His stomach growled and he put his hand over it. Sssshhh....stomach you will get food soon! As he made his way to the work station, he heard the professor ask a question. What ingredients do you need to make the pizza dough. Kace grinned and raised his hand to show some participation even though the answers were said perfectly by the others. "Professor I know you need the basic ingredient flour...and some salt and possibly some butter to spread over the dough?" He asked if he remembered correctly. |
Arriving at the kitchens, Jasmine took a look around. She noted the set up at the various workstations and all of the ingredients that were placed there. They were making pizza! Jasmine could not wait. The Professor wanted to know what they would need to make pizza dough and Jasmine looked over the ingredients. Clearly they needed flour, salt, yeast and water. Sugar was also a possibility. Since those ingredients had already been mentioned multiple times, Jasmine decided not to repeat the answer. |
Pizza They were going to make pizza. Could Nigel just watch, supervise, and get pizza at the end. It was better for everyone. He liked eating pizza and occasionally getting it for people who pester him for it. Why make it when you can wait and eat it. It is not like he did not have the money to afford a pizza on occasion. Nigel did not know anything other than pizza was amazing. So......yeah |
OOOOOO Pizza's one of Bay's favourite foods.. heee heeee.. and one of the foods that his parents didn't like him to eat… WATCH OUT MUM AND DAD IM A REBEL. he held back a snort as he gave a big smile.. Raising his hand he said "Professor i know for sure you need flour to make dough" see he knew this was one of his favourite classes. |
What did they need to make dough? Hmm. Caleb tried to think about the things that his parents kept in the kitchen...oh yeah, wasn't there something they had to add to make it all fluffy and whatnot? He raised his hand. "You need that yeast stuff to make the bread rise, don't you?" he said. Yes, he was certain that was a thing! |
Those ingredients.. Something Italian..... Was it.... were they making pizza? Oh yes they were. "Flour, yeast, salt.." Was the sugar for the dough or to mix in the sauce? While attempting to improve her cooking skills these past two summers, Schuyler HAD come across dishes that called for sugar in the sauce. Sooo... Yeah. She'd stick with those. |
PIZZA! Kyroh had made pizza before right? No. Maybe he was just thinking about eating it. Probably.....he had put TOPPINGS on it before eating it though so that was like making it. The boy raised his hand. RAISE. HIGH. HE KNEW THE ANSWER! "Pre-made dough." Yeah. "I mean that's not already here. But if it was, it would make pretty good dough." And cut the time in half and stuff. |
OH. MY. GOSH. They were going to make pizza today. One of Lux's favourite foods along with cucumber sandwiches and pasta. Standing by Bay and her friends, she eagerly raised her hand. "Definitely flour. There is also yeast, salt, and I think water too. Oh, and while it isn't an ingredient you also need a rolling pin so you can flatten out the dough." Was she missing anything? |
hOh, man, she was so glad she didn't decide to go somewhere else and skip the lesson. Caterina would be so devastated she'd passed the opportunity to make pizza. Granted, Lotus has even made chocolate pizza for Lex, and pepperoni pizza for Tag, Alec and Delilah. But, lol, no one knew this, so she should pretend not to know, right? Right, she was here for the pizza. And what better way to go unnoticed than to share places with Slytherins, yeah? So she did. Text Cut: Kita's boy, aka Grayson But now she was BEAMING, because her boyfriend knew this topic very well, and she couldn't help but bounce a little, she may have placed a hand on some boy's shoulder before speaking quietly to him, "I love pizza, do you?" Who was he, anyway? He seemed close in age to Oleander. All Nigel does is watch. #StartsRumors |
PIZZA????!!! o____O They're going to make Pizza? Cool! That mean no cakes like she originally thought. That's even more awesome. She's not allergic to pizza so she's good. Yup. Ingredients for making the dough? Flour definitely but some of her classmate already said flour so there's no need to repeat that again. Wait. Someone mentioned they need sugar for the dough? Was sugar really necessary? |
So we had a whole post all ready and then we lost it *pouts* Seeing some of the quiet ones, Fina realized she probably ought to add something else before she responded about the ingredients; "Just another quick rule; if you don't help prepare the food, you don't eat it." Glances toward you - Nigel, Penelope, Ascanius, Tobias, Lotus in particular Quote:

"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 "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! |
Ethan nodded and tossed his notebook and pen inside his bag after writing down his notes, and went up to get himself a green apron. He need not worry about his hair because it's short, no? Good. Once he got his apron on, he went on ahead and washed his hands. Yup. No germs for his pizza. The Slytherin got back to his workstation and eyed the board. Mhm. This is pretty much like Potions, even if Professor Hadley says no. He was good at mixing stuff, so this should be an easy task. And oh. OH. They could work in pairs? Ethan looked around if there was someone who'd want to partner up with him. |
