Bread Pizza, Jail Pizza

By

Daniel

Daniel writes from a prison in VIC.

Ingredients and Method:

  1. 8 pieces of breadwhite/multigrain
  2. BBQ sauce and mayonaise as base sauce
  3. Sprinkle a bit of cheese on base sauce
  4. Top with – mushroom/capsicum/fresh tomato/Shallots (veg)
  5. Meat could be any bacon/chicken or ham you have in stock
  6. Put a final layer of cheese and oregano on top and salt and pepper then cook in your little oven

I hate making pizza bases from scratch – it’s hard, messy and bread just works really well.

This is a meal for two – eg. you and a m8!

Puuurrfect!!

Discovering Buddhism in Prison

By Chris

Buddhism teaches that pain is a part of being human, not a failure. Thoughts are not who you are, change is always possible because nothing is permanent. There is beauty in the idea that peace isn’t something you chase, it’s something you uncover when you stop clinging.
