Here's another recipe for a pizza for those of you who may not want to wait about 2hr to make and eat a yeast-dough pizza.

oven temp: 425°

baking time: 20min for margarine or about 12mins for butter (butter burns easier) 

Ingredients:

2 cups flour

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp baking powder

1/4 Parmesan cheese (optional)

6 Tbsp margarine or butter

3/4 cup milk

Directions:

Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl.

Cut the margarine/butter into the bowl, and use a fork (or your fingers) to crumble and mix it into the flour mixture.

Make a well in the mixture and add the milk.

Use a fork to mix it up, and scrape the side of the bowl until the dough is combined.

If the dough is too sticky, add some flour. Then put it on a floured surface, and roll it out to a 16" x 11" rectangle, a little over 1/4 inch thick.

Place it on cookie sheet, then add your toppings.

Bake at 425° for 20min or 12min or until the bottom is golden-brown.

If I had pictures for this recipe I'd show them, but I haven't made it in a long time. And although it won't puff up so much like the yeast one below, it is still very good. Enjoy!

Hello, everyone, I just finished making this pizza and it tastes great! So I thought I would share it with all of you.

total time: about 1 hr. 20 min.

cooking time: 25 min. at 400°

Ingredients:

1 package active dry yeast (2 1/2 teaspoons)

1 cup warm water (105° to 115° F)

1 teaspoon sugar

1 teaspoon salt

3 Tablespoons olive oil

3 to 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour or un-bleached flour

and extra olive oil for the baking pan

also whatever sauce and toppings that you like

Instructions:

Stir the yeast into warm water in large mixing bowl. Stir in sugar, salt, 3 Tablespoons oil, and 2 cups of flour. Beat until smooth. The dough will be sticky, so add enough flour to make the dough easy to handle.

Place dough on a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth, about five minutes. (I actually just kneaded it four times, and it worked ok).

Gather dough into a ball and place it into a greased bowl, and then turn greased side up. Cover bowl with plastic wrap or towel, and let it rise in a warm (85° is good) place for about 45 min. Or until it's nearly doubled. You can also tell if the dough is ready if an indentation remains when when you touch it.

Turn oven to 400°. Put enough oil on 15 1/2 x 10 1/2 x 1 in. baking sheet, set aside.

Punch the dough down in the bowl, then place it on a floured surface again to roll it out to size. (Mine didn't exactly fit the pan, but do your best anyway). Now set it on the pan, and add the sauce and toppings.

Then place in oven for 25 min. After it's baked, let it cool down for at least 5 min. Enjoy!

 As you can see, I already had some. For toppings I used spaghetti sauce with added meat, olives, cheese, left-over rib meat, and taco meat.

 Here's a close-up shot.

Have a great day, everyone, may God bless you!

Hello again, this time I'll post my favorite recipe for Lembas. I must warn you: It does taste like a biscuit, a sort of sweet biscuit.

Lembas (Way-bread)

You will need:

2 cups flour

3 teaspoons baking powder

2 Tablespoons sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup shortening

3/4 cup milk (whatever you use or powdered)

1 teaspoon vanilla

What to do:

Turn your oven to 425°

Mix all the dry ingredients together in a large bowl.

Add the shortening, and mix it up into small crumbs.

Add the milk and vanilla, combine the dough into a ball.

Knead it a few times on a floured surface, and roll it out to about a 1/4 inch or more.

Cut out the Lembas, place on a sheet.

Bake for 12min. But after 6min. flip them with a spatula, bake for the other 6min.

You could wrap them in fresh malorn leaves, but you poor un-fortunates of this earth can put them in a plastic bag or container. They'll be good for a more than a week.
