JOANNE MATTERN和《儿童时代》的编辑一起做披萨

Chapter 1 Mix It Up Did you know that pizza is a mix of different foods? Let's make a pizza and see. We make pizza crust from dough. We use flour, water, salt, oil, and yeast to make dough. Yeast makes dough rise. When we make pizza dough, we mix solids and liquids. Flour, yeast, and salt, are solids. Water and oil are liquids.

你知道披萨是由不同的食物混合而成吗? 让我们做个披萨看看。 我们用生面团做披萨皮。 我们用面粉、水、盐、油和酵母做面团。 酵母使面团发酵。当我们做披萨面团时，我们混合固体和液体。 面粉、酵母和盐都是固体。 水和油都是液体。

Pizza has sauce. Pizza sauce is made of tomatoes, onion, and spices. We cook these together for a long time. Cooking changes the tomatoes and onion. They become soft.

披萨有酱汁。披萨酱是由西红柿、洋葱和香料制成的。 我们一起煮了很长时间。 烹饪改变了番茄和洋葱。 它们变软了。

Now we sprinkle on small pieces of cheese. Broccoli, spinach, and mushrooms taste good on pizza. We cut up these vegetables. Then we put them on top of our pizza. Why do we cut up the vegetables? A small piece of food cooks faster than a big piece of food. The heat can go through the small piece of food faster.

现在我们撒上小块奶酪。 西兰花、菠菜和蘑菇放在披萨上味道不错。 我们把这些蔬菜切碎。 然后我们把它们放在披萨上。 我们为什么要把蔬菜切碎? 一小块食物比大块食物熟得快。 热量可以更快地穿过一小块食物。

Chapter 2 Heat It Up Wait! We cannot eat the pizza yet. First, we have to cook it. Cooking changes many things on a pizza. Heat dries out food. When you heat pizza dough, the water goes away. The crust gets crunchy. We must not cook our pizza too long. Too much heat changes the pizza too much. The crust will turn black and hard. It will not taste good.

第二章加热等等!我们还不能吃披萨。 首先，我们要把它煮熟。 烹饪会改变披萨的很多东西。 热使食物变干。当你加热披萨面团时，水分就会消失。 面包皮变脆了。我们不能把披萨煮得太久。 热量太大，披萨会发生很大变化。 面包皮会变黑变硬。 味道不会很好。
