This week in advanced cooking we made our own pizzas and made our own sauce to go with it and what i did to figure out what to add to mine is by the flavor star. My sauce was balanced very well it wasn’t too sweet, sour, bitter, spicy, and salty. My sauce was very savory and good because all the spices came together very well. In mine I added hot sauce to make the flavor more spicy and not bitter. Thanks to the flavor star i had a great pizza. Everything went well together and I would try this again.
My experience in the lab was nice it was my first time working alone and, it was very nice and went by quicker. The overall pizza was good i think i did a great job the smell, color, taste everything was nice everything came together well. The ingredients was also easy to understand so I got everything done easily. It had to of been my second favorite lab this year and id look forward to more like it. My favorite part was getting to shape the pizza and top it with the toppings.
