Wool & Words

Not much time for blogging tonight. Yes, I'm grading papers. It's not fun. But it's necessary.

I've had requests, so here's the pizza dough recipe. We got it from the SugarBusters site:

2 cups stoneground whole wheat pastry flour
1 tbs. Splenda
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. butter (softened)
1 cup milk (any weight will do)
1/2 tsp. yeast

Mix the ingredients in your bread machine (sorry to all you hand-kneaders out there...). When the machine is tired and calling for a glass of wine to relieve the pain of kneading, preheat your oven to 400 degrees.

Let the dough sit in a greased container for 20-30 mins. Or not. It just depends on how much you want to see the stuff rise...

Roll out the dough and top it as you see fit. Or don't. Naked pizza is possible, I supposed, but not as tasty as it would be with goodies on it.

Bake for 15-20 minutes.

We usually add spices to the dry stuff before we turn on the machine. Makes for a yummy crust. We're considering using this recipe for foccacia (sp?) bread as well. I'll let you know how it turns out!

Ciao!
