lunch lady

All the flavors you'd expect from this nostalgic treat.

Lunch Lady Square Pizza

all-purpose flour

dry milk powder

sugar

1 3/4-oz packet quick-rise yeast

salt

water

Tablespoons vegetable oil

lb Italian sausage

beef

12-oz pizza sauce

Italian seasoning

Pepper

oz mozzarella cheese

Preheat oven to 475˚F. Grease an 18”x13”x3/4" baking pan and line with parchment paper.

Microwave water for 30-60 seconds until just warm. Do not overheat. In a large mixing bowl combine flour, milk powder, sugar, yeast and salt. Add oil to warm water and stir, then add to flour mixture and stir just until dough forms.

Pour dough onto pan and allow to rest for 5 minutes before spreading dough to edges of pan. Make sure each corner is covered and that dough is an even thickness all around. Bake crust for 6-8 minutes.

While crust is baking brown sausage and ground beef over medium heat, breaking up the meat into as small of bits as possible with a spatula or spoon.

Top crust with pizza sauce and Italian seasoning and pepper. Add meat on top in an even layer. Sprinkle cheese on top of meat and return pizza to oven for 8-10 or until cheese is beginning to brown and bubble.

Slice into roughly 5”x6” rectangles and serve immediately.

Not rich and just the right amount of chocolate. 

Lunch Lady Brownies

butter, melted

granulated sugar

eggs

vanilla extract

cocoa powder

all purpose flour

Tablespoons butter, softened

Tablespoons milk

Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

Preheat oven to 350˚F. Line a 9”x9” baking pan with foil, making sure that foil comes up over the sides somewhat.

In mixing bowl cream together the sugar and butter for the batter, making sure to stir or blend until the mixture has lightened in both color and texture. Add in eggs and vanilla and stir until fully incorporated.

Slowly add in flour and cocoa powder and mix just until color is uniform. Pour batter into baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out mostly dry with only a few moist crumbs. For the best texture do not overbake.

While brownies are cooling begin to make the frosting. In a medium bowl combine butter, milk, cocoa powder, and powdered sugar until a smooth frosting texture is reached. If mixture is too dry add 1 tablespoon of milk at a time. If too runny, add in one tablespoon of powdered sugar at a time.

Once frosting is the right texture spread over brownies while they are still warm so that some of the icing melts into the brownies. Cut into squares and use the foil to help lift the brownies out of the pan.

Just like school cafeteria brownies, these homemade brownies are fudgy and covered with chocolate frosting.
