Last summer, I embarked on the journey of working as a pizza cook for my first time at PNE and it was an eye-opening experience. Granted the opportunity to exercise my culinary skills, I was very eager during my training day. I was unexpectedly taught the basics of how to roll the dough and how to dress it. The instructions were thorough and the procedural forms were simple to follow through. However, my endeavors to create my first pizza came out as a blunder. There were air bubbles and the crusts were uneven; but the frustration that was built up inside of me didn't stop me from giving up. With no significant improvements after many attempts, I decided to spend some time watching others roll out their dough. When I noticed the techniques they used differed from mine, I went to my station and tried incorporating some techniques I acquired from my Foods Class to make the dough. In the end, a round-shaped pizza came out and it was a success. Over the going process of learning how to make pizzas, I learned that not everything will always go my way at first and that I need to develop my own style and incorporate it into things to produce the best results.
