01-09 Pizza

PIZZA DOUGH - makes two med/large
Mix:
1 t active dry yeast
1 t sugar
1 1/3 c lukewarm water
Stir and let stand until foamy, about 5 min.
Then add:
2 T EV Olive oil
1 t salt (fine sea salt is best)
Mix and add a little at a time (1/2 cup)
3 3/4 c Bread flour
Stir until dough forms a ball
Knead 4-5 minutes then place in tightly covered bowl to let rise in refrigerator
Keep 2-3 days max.
OR Can use immediately for thin crust pizzas:

Divide in half and roll out to desired size
After adding toppings, cook at 425 F about 10 minutes
TOPPINGS:
If not using red sauce, brush crust with olive oil before adding toppings and then spray/sprinkle/drizzle finished pizza with olive oil again to prevent burning
Can use Pesto instead of sauce.

Use any combination of:
artichoke hearts
corn, if frozen, thaw first
tomatoes, fresh sliced or sun-dried (soaked in hot water first) or okay if in oil
slivered red onions
thinly sliced zucchini
fresh herbs like basil or oregano, whole or chopped
pine nuts
generous sprinkling of dried herbs like Italian seasoning
strips of thin ham or chicken or pepperoni or Canadian bacon
Cheese! Feta, Parmesan, Asiago, mozzarella ...
And anything else you can think of or have on hand

Bri's fav: red sauce, pepperoni, zucchini and mozzarella
EB's fav: bbq chicken, Italian herbs, Parmesan, corn
Ani's fav: red onion, herbs, artichoke hearts, zucchini, feta, tomatoes

Nicola's Fisk

 Cousins in Sweden served a fish meal that B really liked!  [That is a huge compliment as it's not her favorite protein.]  Nic makes it without a recipe so this is a general guide.  Layer a casserole with a bed of zucchini slices and add a layer cod pieces . Mix chopped flat leaf parsley (handful), softened butter (abt. 2 T), horseradish sauce (abt. 1 T) with a brick (8 oz) of cream cheese.  {It is easier if the ingredients are room temperature} Cover fish with sauce and bake for about 25 minutes at about 325-350 degrees [Swedish measurements are not equivalent]  Thin sauce with milk if needed. Serve with new baby potatoes baked in butter and dill and salt.

01-25 Dad's Quick Italian Meatballs

Mix 1 lb lean ground beef 2 eggs 1 c Italian bread crumbs 1/2 c spaghetti sauce (more or less, see how it looks) The longer you mix/beat them, the more tender they will be Form meatballs and bake at 350F about 12 minutes Use in meal immediately or freeze for later Put in spaghetti or any pasta will work. Meatball sandwiches would be good too!

Hot Chocolate

 Hot Chocolate from scratch makes it easier to serve a group all at the same time Melt 1/2 lb dark chocolate pieces in  1 quart of milk Stir constantly to almost a boil - careful not to burn the bottom Remove from heat Toppings: whipped cream or frozen coconut cream orange zest cinnamon, cardamom, saffron
