Make your own PIZZA and SAUCE!


Dough:

1 cup + 2 TBSP very warm water
2 TBSP Olive Oil (or veg)
3 cups flour
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
2 1/2 tsp yeast
2 tsp dried OREGANO

Mix well and kneed 10 min.  Let rise 1 hour.  Divide dough into 2 parts.  Make your crust to desired thickness and place on a pizza pan.  Place about 1 cup of sauce in center of dough and spread.  Sprinkle a layer of mozzarella cheese over the sauce.  Add your desired fruit/veggies.  Sprinkle another layer of mozzarella over the toppings.  Bake at 400 for about 15-20 min. or until cheese is golden.

SAUCE:
12oz tomato paste
3/4 cups water (add little at a time)
1/8 cup olive oil
1 tsp oregano
3 garlic cloves
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1 1/4 cup FRESH BASIL (or 1 tsp dried)
1/4 cup rosemary crushed

Mix above ingredients adding more or less water to desired thickness.  Covers 2 pizzas. 

We like to make Ham and Pineapple pizzas with spinach.  I used freeze dried spinach and sprinkled it over the sauce before the first layer of cheese.  This particular pizza I rolled cheese sticks into the edges of the crust.

Bean soup!

In a big pot COOK 1 pound ground beef, adding seasoning as you wish (onions, salt, pepper, fresh basil and Parsley, fresh garlic)

ADD: (I use organic) JUICE AND ALL
1 can White Beans
1 can Black Beans
1 can Pinto Beans
1 can Kidney Beans
1 can Sweet Corn
1 can diced tomatoes/6+ fresh tomatoes diced

While you are heating that up, dice some CHEDDAR CHEESE to put on the top. Optional.

FROM SCRATCH:

Soak over night 1 cup of each bean rinse and drain then add water to cover the beans about 2" above them and cook till tender. Add the rest of the ingredients. You may need to add more water as the beans cook but when they are done you will want some water left in, just enough to cover the top of the beans for the soup part.  So you may need to take some water out after cooking them, then add your other ingredients.
