I’m  sure you have heard and seen Greenfield’s  milk being sold in major supermarkets but do you know that they also have their own line of Mozzarella cheese? It is also made at their factory in  East Java. Sold at $6.35 at Giant supermarket as well as Giant Hypermarket, Cold Storage and Mustafa. It  is a really tasty treat and gives flavour to home baked pizza.

The cheeze oozes in your mouth when you bite into a slice of the pizza and it is really yummy. Making homemade pizza is not that difficult and with the correct cheese it makes it easier to have the prefect home baked pizza each time it is made.

The ingredients which you would need  are

For the base

– 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast

-1 teaspoon white sugar

-1 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)

-2 1/2 cups bread flour

-2 tablespoons olive oil

-1 teaspoon salt

Toppings

– Tomato paste

– Sliced ham

– sliced pineapples

– mozzerella cheese

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). In a medium bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
2. Stir in flour, salt and oil. Beat until smooth. Let rest for 5 minutes.
3. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat or roll into a round. Transfer crust to a lightly greased pizza pan or baker’s peel dusted with cornmeal. Spread with desired toppings and bake in preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Let baked pizza cool for 5 minutes before serving.

 

Besides pizza we have been making many other yummy treats with Greenfields milk.  The kids love the chocolate malt while  I opt for the low fat variety.

The kids have been using the milk to make Milk pudding and mashed potatoes while I’ve baked their favourite breakfast items using it.

It takes a few hours to make the bread but it certainly beats having store bought bread for breakfast.

Blueberry pancake is another common item on our breakfast menu. I normally make this on the weekend for the kids to eat for breakfast.

Ingredients

-1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

-1/2 teaspoon salt

-1 tablespoon baking powder

-1 1/4 teaspoons white sugar

-1 egg

– 1 cup milk

-1/2 tablespoon butter, melted

-fresh blueberries

-maple syrup (optional)

Directions

1. In a large bowl, sift together flour, salt, baking powder and sugar. In a small bowl, beat together egg and milk. Stir milk and egg into flour mixture. Mix in the butter and fold in the blueberries. Set aside for 1 hour.
2. Heat a lightly oiled frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto frying pan . Brown on both sides and serve hot.

Enjoying Delicious Milk with Greenfields

My kids and I have always loved drinking milk. Ever since they were one they have been introduced to fresh milk. I prefer choosing fresh milk over formula or UHT packet milks for the kids. I feel that it means offering them the wholesome goodness of fresh milk as a source of deriving calcium, vitamin A, B and Zinc for their growing bodies .

For me, it is important that the kids be served milk that is real.  They should only have milk which has  No additives, chemicals, antibiotics and is hormone free.  Another important factor is that it should taste good too!!

Greenfields is one brand of milk which my kids and I love to drink. They love drinking the Chocolate Malt from their range of milk and it was the first 1L packet which they finished up within a day.  The yummy chocolate malt taste isn’t too over powering and thick. The three kids can easily drink a cup of chocolate  milk in the morning and another cup before bed at night.

Greenfields factory is located in East Java which is near Singapore. It only take 2-3 days to ship their milk over here as compared to the 6-7  days delivery time for milk which comes from Australia /New Zealand. Their milk is just all natural honest milk. Our milk is produced, pasteurised and packed  within the dairy and it is single-pasteurised, ensuring optimal freshness.

Besides just drinking the milk from the packet, I do use milk in many dishes which we eat at home.

Here are some simple dishes which the kids have made using milk.

Milk Pudding

Doggie boy loves eating pudding so during the holidays we got a packet of instant pudding mix from the supermarket for him to try out. Following the instructions in the back he only needed to add milk and water to the pudding before mixing it over a low flame.

He followed through the steps under supervision and added in all the necessary ingredients before whisking it under a small flame to ensure that it was well mixed. When the mixture was well mixed, it was poured out into the moulds and left to chill in the fridge for 3 hours.  It certainly tasted yummy with the milk giving it the extra creamy texture.

 

Creamy Mash Potatoes

Mash potatoes is something which Monkey boy loves to eat. Each time we eat out at KFC it is one side dish which he will never fail to order.

It is actually very simple to be done and can be made at home easily.

The ingredients that you need are

– Potatoes

– butter

– milk

Instructions

1) De skin the potatoes and half them before putting them into boiling water.

2) When the potatoes are soften drain away the water and mash them.

3) Add in milk and butter until desired consistency and texture.

The milk which is added to the mash potatoes make it smooth and creamy and the kids simply loved it.

Greenfields Milk available in 2-Litres(All except Fair Price),1-litre, 500ml and 200ml packs at leading supermarkets and convenience stores island wide.

It normally sells for $5.95 for a 2- Litres bottle, $3.25 for a 1 Litre pack, $2.20 for a 500ml  and $1.20 for a 200ml packet (at 7 Eleven stores only)
