First Work Experiences

I have worked at Pomfret for a couple of Mondays now. In the mornings I work with a guy named Choice, helping him to finish up preparing for breakfast and then begin preparing lunch. The first morning I was there I learned a lot about where things are in the Pomfret kitchen and what areas are used for cooking what. There is an area for baking and then about 5 other areas where other items are prepared. There is a lot of storage space, with two refrigerated areas and two freezers. There are also some racks with cans and dry goods on them. And then, of course, there is the dish washing area. I have cut up chicken to put in an alfredo dish, wrapped bagels (which is the bane of Choice's existence, so I hear), made up a lot of waffle mix, and cut up cauliflower and broccoli, among other things. Also last Friday I made pizzas. About 15 of them. It was one of the funnest things I've done there. Let me describe-
How to make a Pomfret Pizza:  

Step 1) Put wire rack on large cookie sheet

Step 2)spray with Pam and then sprinkle Pizza Peel (aka cornmeal) on the wire rack


Step 3)put already-made, frozen crust on wire rack and brush with herb-infused oil
 

Step 4)let sit for awhile to proof while repeating these steps for 14 more pizzas. =)

Step 5) after doing these steps for all pizzas, go back to first pizza. Roll a spiny roller over pizza so it won't bubble up while cooking.


 Step 6) spread sauce over crust


Step 7)add cheese, pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, bell peppers, chicken, etc.. in correct portions to taste good.


Step 8)put pizza in oven that automatically rolls it through so it is cooked when it comes out the other side.
 

Step 9) roll pizza on a cart over to the serving area, cut up pizza, and put it under the hot lights.
 

Step 10) watch hungry Pomfret kids snatch up the pizza almost faster than you can make it.
That's how you make the Pomfret Pizza.
