Another key element of every breakfast is carbohydrates. Healthy carbs at breakfast give your body an energy boost, which it needs for the day. Here, at Schloss Leizen, you won’t get your carbs through the usual bread or muesli…
Last summer the kids discovered the Solar system and learned a lot of interesting facts about its makeup! At our reunion, we decided to brush up on our knowledge and reconstruct the Solar system.
Due to obvious safety concerns, we didn’t use rocks or gas as planet building materials, but chose colourful rubber bands, styrofoam balls, dried orange slices, and, of course, apples!
Our staff at Schloss Leizen creates an atmosphere that encourages kids to ask questions and find answers to them, share their knowledge and skill sets with others. As usual when we meet up with kids on reunions, the evening ends in a themed quiz party. Take a look at the quiz question:
This planet got its name after Roman king of gods who was also the god of the sky and the thunder. IT is known for its (at least) 69 moons and a big red “eye”. What planet is it?
Especially if you have two hours of intense excercise and football, followed by a delicious warm lunch – the kids couldn’t be happier to join Chef Maik to bake their own pastry for tea time.
Of course with apples !!!
Here is the recipe:
🍕 Dissolve 1 tsp organic cane sugar in 240 ml lukewarm water.
🍕 Add 42 g of yeast, 500 g organic spelt flour, 1 pinch of salt and 80 ml of vegetable oil (we used safflower seed oil).
🍕 Mix everything thoroughly and knead until dough is smooth and elastic. It will make pizza airy and light.
🍕 Let the dough rise for 1 hour.
🍕 On a floured surface, roll out the dough and let it rest for another 20 minutes.
🍕 Add the toppings of your choice. For extra sweet pizza: slather the top of the pizza with jam or sour cream and add your favorite fruits (we used apples, of course J).
🍕 You can also sprinkle the flaked/sliced almonds, cane sugar or cinnamon over the top.
🍕 Bake at 200 ° C (fan oven) for about 15 minutes (depending on the size of the pizza and the thickness of the topping).
