Before you start, you will want to measure everything out ahead of time. You will also want to warm the beef broth in the microwave or stove top. Not to the point of boiling though.
On the stovetop, melt the butter in a small saucepan while continuously stirring so it doesn’t burn. Then add the flour while still whisking. Once the flour is fully blended in, then add the warmed beef broth.
Bring the gravy to a boil, then turn off the heat and remove it from the stovetop. |
|
|
|
Let the gravy cool for 2 minutes, then mix in the salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and worcester sauce. Now you have Toastwood gravy to use on your Toastwood Poutine! |

So last week, we had you make a Raspberry Bark. Let’s see some examples:
|
|
|
|
|
We first introduced Raspberry Bark in Papa’s Donuteria and since Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching we thought it would be a nice addition to Papa’s Cookbook!First, thoroughly wash the raspberries before using them. Then on a cutting board, dice up the raspberries so that they are roughly cut into fourths. Put them in a bowl and carefully pour out any excess juice that may have pooled in the bowl. Set this bowl aside for later.Pour the Milk Chocolate Chips into a microwave safe bowl, and pour the White Chocolate Chips into a second microwave safe bowl.
Take your baking pan and line it with parchment paper. |
|
| 2: Melting Milk Chocolate |
|
|
These next steps will need to be done swiftly, so read everything first and prepare yourself for all the steps involved.Heat your bowl of Milk Chocolate Chips in the microwave on high for 30 seconds. Take the bowl out of the microwave using oven mitts, and stir with a spoon. If it isn’t nice and melted yet, place it back in the microwave for another 30 seconds and stir. Repeat until it fully melted but not burned. You can also use a stovetop and small pot to melt the chocolate chips if necessary.Pour the melted chocolate into the baking pan and spread it out evenly so that it is about 1/4th of an inch thick. |
|
| 3: Melting Pink Chocolate |
|
|
Heat your bowl of White Chocolate Chips in the microwave on high for 30 seconds. Take the bowl out of the microwave using oven mitts, and stir with a spoon. If it isn’t nice and melted yet, place it back in the microwave for another 30 seconds and stir.Then immediately pour in the diced raspberries and pink food coloring and mix it all together.If the white chocolate started to solidify from the cool raspberries, you can put it back in the microwave for an additional 15 seconds.
Spoon out dollops of the mixture on top of the melted milk chocolate, spaced out evenly. Then take your butter knife or wood skewer and start swirling the pink chocolate into the milk chocolate. You don’t want to mix it completely, but just enough that you get a nice swirly pattern throughout the chocolate. |
|
|
|
Place the pan in the refrigerator until it is completely hardened and cold.Take the pan out of the refrigerator and break the chocolate into piece with your hands. Store it in the refrigerator and enjoy your Raspberry Bark! |

So last week, we had you make a Romano Quartet Pizza. Let’s see some examples:
|
|
|
| 1: Prepare the Pizza Dough |
|
|
For the Romano Quartet Pizza, we have included recipes to make your own dough and pizza sauce from scratch. However, we understand if you don’t have time/resources to do these extra steps. If you want to use pre-made dough or sauce, that is totally fine.To make the dough, it helps to have an Electric Mixing Bowl, but you can mix it by hand too. First, mix the yeast, sugar, water and lard in a large bowl until they are fully blended together. Then, pour in the flour and salt and mix everything together. Make sure the dough is smooth and free of any lumps. Take the dough out and grease the bowl with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Place the dough back in the bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it sit for an hour or so. By that time, the dough should have doubled in size thanks to the yeast. Dust your work surface with flour, and pour out the dough. Roll the dough around and into a nice ball shape and let it sit. After 15 minutes it should be ready to go. |
|
| 2: Prepare the Pizza Sauce |
|
|
Simply add all the pizza sauce ingredients into a medium size bowl and mix them together until thoroughly blended. |
|
| 3: Building the Pizza’s Base |
|
|
Take your dough and roll it out into a large disk. Place it on your pizza cooking pan/stone. Using a ladle or spoon, add an even coating of pizza sauce over the pizza. Around the pizza, leave sauceless border about a half inch thick for the crust. Then, cover the sauce with plenty of shredded Mozzarella cheese. |
|
|
|
Chop your Bell Pepper, Pepperoni, and Italian Sausage into thin slices. Visually divide your pizza into 4 quadrants. In the top left corner place 6 Bell Pepper slices. In the top right corner, place 6 mushrooms. In the bottom right corner, place 6 slices of pepperoni. Finally, in the bottom left corner, place 6 slices of italian sausage. |
|
|
|
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Place your pizza in the oven, and cook for 15-20 minutes.Once it’s fully cooked, remove the pizza from the oven, and cut the pizza into 8 slices. Let it cool for a few minutes, then enjoy your Romano Quartet Pizza! |
