Deep Dish Pizza, Pizza Bread

Ingredients

Crust

1 1/2 tbsp Milk Powder
1 1/2 tsp Sugar
. 3/4 tsp Yeast
. 1/4 tsp Salt
. 1/2 Cup Water

. 1/2 tbsp Oil

1 1/2 Cup Flour

3 1/2 tbsp Oil2

Sauce -- Spice

2 tsp Oregano

1 tsp Thyme

1 tsp Basil

1 tsp Garlic Powder

1 tsp Onion Powder

1 tsp Marjoram

1 tsp Sugar

1/2 tsp Black Pepper

1/4 tsp Cayenne pepper

1/4 tsp Salt

Use 1 tbsp spice per cup of tomato sauce.

Directions

Make sauce ahead of time, ideally at least 1 hour before using. This recipe should use about 1/2 cup.

To a medium bowl, add 1 1/2 tbsp Milk Powder, 1 1/2 tsp Sugar, 3/4 tsp Yeast and 1/4 tsp Salt and stir briefly to mix. Add 1/2 cup water and stir until mixed. Allow yeast to activate for about 5 minutes. Stir in 1/2 tbsp Oil and then add 1 1/2 cups of flour, 1/2 cup at a time. For the last half cup add flour until dough can be formed but is not too dry.

Preparing the crust

Knead the dough for about 6-10 minutes until it is smooth. Use a rolling pin to roll it into a sheet that fits the pan you are going to use. This recipe is intended for a pan about 10"x12"

Once the dough is rolled out, spread 3 to 4 tbsp (up to a quarter cup) of oil to cover the bottom of the pan. Place the dough on top and adjust the dough to fill the pan.

Rise

Slightly warm your oven by setting it to 350 degrees for one minute. [Turn it off after a minute. It is just to make a warm place for the dough to rise.] Place the pan in the middle of the rack, close the oven and let it rise for approximately 30 to 60 minutes.

Once the dough is risen, take it out of the oven and preheat the oven to 475 degrees.

Topping the Pizza

Spread enough pizza sauce on the pizza to cover.

Top the Pizza with about 1/4 pound of cheese (we use a mixture of about 3 parts Mozzarella to one part Cheddar and add a small amount of Parmesan)

Add other toppings as desired.

Baking

Bake at 475 for 12-16 minutes until top is bubbling and crust is browned.

Slicing/Storing

Slice Pizza into wedges or squares depending on the pan used. You can store unused portions in the fridge for a day or so. This pizza freezes well.

Notes

The dough can be used alone to make an amusing bread product sort of like a flatter focaccia.

Yorkshire Pudding

My recipe for Yorkshire Pudding (updated). What I like about this recipe is that you use exactly equal volume measurements of eggs, flour, and milk: Ingredients: Eggs (straight from the fridge is fine) All-purpose flour Milk Salt (1/4 tsp per egg) Vegetable oil (1/2 tsp per muffin cup) Instructions: Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius). Prepare the Muffin Pan: Add 1/2 teaspoon of oil to each cup of a muffin pan. Use three cups for each egg in your recipe. Place the pan in the oven to heat the oil. Heat for at least 5 minutes, or until the oil is hot -- hot enough so that it bubbles when you put the batter in the cups. Make the Batter: In a bowl, mix eggs, flour, and milk in equal quantities to create a batter with a consistency similar to pancake batter. For each egg used, add 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Example: If using 2 eggs, you'll have enough batter for 6 Yorkshire puddings. Fill the Muffin Cups: Carefully remove the hot muffin pan from

Alfredo's Noodles

This recipe is usually done as ' Fettuccine Alfredo ', but I prefer linguine when I have a choice. In the picture here, it is done with De Cecco spaghetti.
