My Hero Academia: Hell is a Mess

Making a Pizza

Prompt: This was in the original story as a joke, but now it's being transferred here! This is Izuku making a pizza!
I did this chapter to practice sensory details. Like, that's it.

I sit in my room, listening to the clicks and clacks of my random inventions and the typing of my keyboard as I focus on programming for my latest build. I can hear the howling of the wind from my bedroom deep in the apartment, causing me to look at the time. Eight o'clock at night. Shouta should be coming home soon from work as he doesn't have patrol tonight. Saving my progress, I stand up, listening to the soft steps from myself as I enter the living room/kitchen area. Outside the single window in this apartment, I see the few trees in town bending from the wind and the raindrops lightly tapping the window. It's probably cold outside so I should make something warm.

Soup doesn't sound appetizing nor does anything I would normally make in general. Maybe a pizza?

Yeah, let's make a pizza.

I pitter-patter to the kitchen and pull out the ingredients to make the pizza dough first. It will take an hour to rise. Shouta probably will have to starve a little while due to how long this takes. I search through the cabinets to find a package of active dry yeast, a bag of bread flour, a bottle of olive oil, a shaker of salt, and a jar of sugar. I bend down and pull out a bowl to mix everything in, setting on the counter with an aggravating ring coming off it. I grab a measuring cup with the measurement of two cups (473.176 ml) and fill the cup with water that is the temperature of blood. I pour the water into the bowl. I add yeast, salt, and sugar. I stir the ingredients together, the swishing sound of the bowl filling the room. I let that sit for five minutes.

While that sets, I grab a wet washcloth and wipe down the counter before throwing it back in the sink. I pour some flour on the counter before making a mountain out of it. Once I create a decent size mountain, I form a pocket in the center of it. I grab the bowl with the mixture inside, pouring it gently into the pocket, pushing some flour from the flour walls inside the liquid. I then start mixing it all together, feeling the weird texture through my fingers as I knead it. Everyone couple of moments, I have to cover my hands in flour to make sure it doesn't stick anywhere. The flour and liquid mass gradually turns into a dough and I leave it for a moment to grab a fresh bowl. I spray the bowl lightly with oil and drop the dough inside. I grab the bottle of oil and lightly spray the dough before putting plastic wrap over the top of the bowl and sliding it in the oven. I have to leave that for an hour.

I leave the dough to do its business and I grab the tomatoes I picked up eariler and grab yet another bowl. After cutting the tops and bottoms of them, I throw them in the bowl and slam my hands inside, smashing them until they become a paste. I wash my hands quickly and turn on the stove top. After fetching a pan and placing it on the stove, I fill it with oil and quickly cut up some onions, making sure to look away. I throw the onions in the pay and let them sizzle. I remove the skin off some garlic as well, throwing it in the pan with the onions. It should all cook the same rate. Once it all cooks together, I pour the tomato paste in and add oregano, basil, sugar, salt, and pepper, stirring it all together. Once it starts boiling gently, I leave it for 30 minutes to simmer. Eventually, I will pull it off to let it cool. It should be done at the same time as the dough so it will all come together.

I grab some mozzarella cheese and the cheese scrapper and start making slices. I already have the pepperoni prepared as I just brought them pre-sliced. It makes life much easier. As I was making the slices, I hear the creaking of the front door. Normally, a person should check to see who it is, however, because the security system I installed did not go off, I know it's somebody allowed. I just go back to scrapping cheese. I should greet them but I'm focused right now.
