Recipe title: Tuna Pasta Bake serves 3-4
Please bring from home:
I large oven proof dish
300g (dried weight) Cooked Pasta*
300ml Milk
125g Cheddar Cheese*
1 x 160g Canned tuna*
25g Butter or margarine
25g Plain flour (or cornflour)*
150g approx. Sweetcorn *
Method
1. Prepare the flavouring ingredients by draining the sweetcorn and tuna. Prepare any other flavouring ingredients you may want to use. Remember to pre-cook any meat or hard vegetables (e.g. broccoli can be steamed, bacon fried).
2. In a large saucepan, place the butter, flour and milk (a tablespoon of the butter and flour, a pint of milk). Heat the sauce on a medium heat (temperature 3 or 4), stirring all of the time, until the mixture begins to simmer. Allow to simmer for one minute only before removing the pan from the heat.
3. With the sauce removed from the heat (onto a wooden triangle) stir in ¾ of the cheese and any flavourings. Season. Add a little extra water if the sauce appears too thick to coat the pasta.
4. Pour the pasta and sauce into the oven proof dish, sprinkle with the remaining cheese and clean round the edges of the dish before baking.
To bake: Pre-heat the oven to 180oc or gas mark 4 for 15-20 mins. or until the cheese on top is golden brown. Pupils will be given the option to do this at home if preferred.

Year 8/9 - Pizza/Calzone 2
Beaumont School Food Technology Department
Recipe title: Pizza or Calzone
Please bring from home:
150g (approx) Cheese
50g Tomato Sauce*
50-150g Flavouring ingredients*
Method
1. Pre-heat the oven to 190oc.
2. Prepare all your topping ingredients for the pizza (wash, chop, slice, grate, cube or cut any cheese, vegetables or meat).
3. Roll out your pizza dough to the shape of the tray.
4. Spoon the tomato sauce layer onto the base of the pizza, leaving a 1-2cm gap between the edge of the base and the tomato (puree especially burns very easily, so should be covered by the cheese and other flavouring ingredients). If you are making a calzone, remember to cover only half of the pizza base so you can ‘fold’ it shut!
5. Add any vegetables or meat in a flat layer to the edges of the base. Add any herbs or spices.
6. Sprinkle on the cheese to cover the flavouring ingredients and the pizza base. If you are making calzone, wet the edges of the base and ‘fold’ it shut.
7. Bake for 15-20 mins, or until the cheese is speckled golden brown.
At home, you can serve your dish reheated in the microwave (1-3 mins on a medium/high power setting) or in the oven (15-20 mins) on gas 5,190oc, until piping hot.

Year 8/9 - Pizza
Beaumont School Food Technology Department
Recipe title: Pizza Dough
Please bring from home:
40p, or:
250g Strong flour *
1 sachet Fast acting dried yeast
½ Tsp Salt
Method
1. Carefully weigh and measure out all of the dried ingredients – the flour, ½ teaspoon salt and yeast. Mix together briefly with a knife or palette knife.
2. Carefully measure out 180mls of warm water for white flour, or 200mls water for wholemeal. Stir the water carefully into the dried ingredients using a knife.
3. Observe how much the dough is able to ‘stick’ to itself. Add more water or flour if necessary to correct the dough to achieve a ‘chewing gum’ consistency. That means, sticky enough to stick together! Not fall apart or stick badly to the surfaces and your hands.
4. Tip the contents of the mixing bowl out onto the work surface and knead for 5 minutes, until the dough is smooth.
5. Package the dough ready for freezing.
Pupils who are absent from this lesson are welcome to make the dough at home and join in next lesson or used ready made muffins, rolls or French bread to make their pizza.

4. On the baking tray, spread out the mixture with your hands to a thickness of 1cm.

Recipe title: Scone Mix
Please bring from home:
400g Self-raising flour*
100g Butter or margarine
If you can put these two ingredients in a plastic food bag to store in the fridge together (tied or sealed so we can open and re-use it to freeze the contents, marked clearly with your name – that will save time, help the contents keep cool which they need to be to rub in and save packaging!)
Method
1. Place the flour and butter or margarine in mixing bowl, add 1 level teaspoon (3g) salt.
2. Use a knife to cut the fat into small pieces.
3. Use your hand to ‘rub in’ the fat until you can shake the bowl and find lumps no bigger than your little finger nail in the mix!
4. Divide this mixture into 2 bags with your name on, ready to make scones and pizza.
5. Freeze.
At home, if you are absent from this lesson you can follow the instructions above to make the mix. Bring it in to school anytime (we can freeze it for you). If you have a food processor you can blend the fat with the flour in this. Alternatively, you can freeze your fat and use a grater to ‘shred’ it into the mix.
