  2. Here goes:

    Pizza dough recipe from the Kitchen Aid cookbook:

    • 1 (1/4 ounce) package active dry yeast
    • 1 cup warm water (about 115F)
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 2 teaspoons olive oil
    • 2 1/2-3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    1. Dissolve yeast in warm water in warmed bowl.
    2. Add salt, olive oil, and 2 1/2 cup flour.
    3. Attach bowl and dough hook, turn to speed 2 and mix 1 minute.
    4. Continuing on speed 2, add remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until dough clings to dough hook and cleans sides of bowl. Knead on speed 2 for 2 minutes.
    5. Place in greased bowl, turning to grease top.
    6. Cover, let rise in warm place until doubled in bulk (about 1 hour).
    7. Punch dough down.
    8. Brush 14 inch pizza pan with oil.
    9. Press dough across bottom of pan forming collar around edge to hold filling Top with fillings and bake at 450°F for 15 to 20 minutes.

    My Fillings:

    Spread 3/4 cup of Hunts Tomato Sauce (not ketchup) over crust. Lay 6ozs of thinly sliced prosciutto over top, cover entire pizza with a generous amount of Kraft Italiano shredded 4 cheese. Top with one can water packed artichokes cut into eigths and 4 ozs sliced black olives. Top with fresh tomato slices and a little more shredded cheese.

    Yum yummy!

  3. Yummy! Although our dinner was delish too, chicken paillards (with mushrooms, Fay!) with a lemon sauce, steamed broccoli and some wonderful Trader Joe's whole wheat sourdough bread.

    I will try your recipe for sure; I have a good one for chicken/spinach with an alfredo sauce that is made with boboli. But I needed a good one with "real" crust, thanks!

  6. Tom isn't fond of broccoli either but has been good about trying some. This is a Dr. Weil recipe which is simple but it comes out perfect every time.

    He says "Broccoli may help protect against cancer, heart disease, cataracts and birth defects, while promoting a healthy immune system and gastrointestinal and bone health. A member of the cabbage family, broccoli is also a good source of vitamins A, C, K and calcium."

    Lucky for me, I like it to begin with :-)
