PIZZA DOUGH - KAY STARK AND BELVA PERRY 1 pkg. active dry yeast Dissolve yeast in warm water. Add other ingredients, mix well. Let rest about 5 minutes.

My family likes to make homemade pizza sometimes on Friday nights. It's fun to let everyone make their own. This crust can be made thick or thin, and is good both ways. 2 pkg. yeast In the bowl o f an electric mixer--Kitchen Aid works well--dissolve yeast in water. Add oils, cornmeal and 3 cups of the flour. Beat for 10 minutes with the mixer. Add the dough hook and mix in the other 2-1/2 cups of flour. Knead for several minutes with the machine. Pour onto plastic countertop and cover with a very large metal bowl. Allow to rise until double in bulk. Punch down and let rise again. Punch down a second time and you are ready to make pizza. Oil pizza pans or cookie sheets. For deep dish, use cake pan. Push dough out to sides of pan or in circle. Top with pizza fillings. Bake at 450 degrees to 475 degrees until done. FRENCH BREAD PIZZA CRUST Dough:
Pizza:
1/2
cup olive oil In
a food processor, combine the warm water, sugar and dry yeast.
(Can also be done in mixer or by hand.)
Let stand for ten minutes. Add the olive oil, flour and salt.
Process for 1 minute until dough comes together. Add the rosemary and
pulse several times. Remove dough and knead for approximately 10 minutes.
Place dough in an oiled bowl and cover with plastic. Let rise for 1 hour.
Punch down dough and knead for about 1 minute. Divide into four equal
pieces and stretch out into 9" rounds. Place
2 dough rounds onto the grill over low to medium heat. Grill the first
side about 2-3 minutes or until crisp, then place on cookie sheet, grilled
side up. Brush with olive
oil. Sprinkle cheese onto
dough, then top with the sausage, tomatoes and vegetables.
Set back on grill. Close
the grill and allow the pizzas to cook for about 5 minutes more until
cheese is melted and dough is cooked through.
Repeat with other 2 dough rounds.
Delicious! EASY PIZZA - BARBIE HANKS Barbie likes this recipe, because she and friends can make it as a group. Refrigerator biscuits (amount depends upon how many people you are serving.) Lightly brown hamburger. Separate biscuits and stretch them out thin. Assemble bowls of sauce, shredded cheese, diced or sliced vegetables and let everyone assemble their own. Bake in pie pans at about 425 degrees until done.
2 pkg. Pillsbury crescent rolls; place in pizza pan. Cook for 10 minutes the night before you serve it. Slice the dough the size you want it before putting the dressing on.

Top I asked Lee Jones what the Opera Company's Artistic Director, Michael Ballam, likes to eat besides baklava and cheesecake and she said, "Italian food, Mexican food...and basically anything else that isn't moving". His mother, Marianne, gave me the following recipe, along with one from Michael's wife, Laurie. 1 onion, diced ricotta or cottage cheese Sauté onion, celery and carrot in butter, slowly, separately over low heat. Brown ground beef with other onion. Add tomato sauce, ketchup, garlic salt and beef bouillon. Simmer this for 5 hours. Add mushrooms with juice. Cook lasagna in 8 quarts water with olive oil and salt. Drain and rinse. Blend ricotta cheese with egg and sour cream. Add chopped green onions. Mix mozzarella and Swiss together. Put 3 to 4 Tbsp. of sauce on bottom of baking dish. Lay noodles lengthwise. Cover with sauce, Swiss and mozzarella, ricotta mixture and then parmesan. Make next layer with noodles crosswise , repeating other ingredients. Sprinkle parmesan cheese heavily on the top. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. 1 lb. ground beef Place noodles and 1 Tbsp. of oil in boiling water. Cook until done. Drain and set aside. Fry ground beef in frying pan until well done. Drain off grease. Add jar of Prego sauce. Add can of mushrooms to ground beef and cook until well blended. Set aside. In 9 x 8-1/2 baking pan, layer bottom with one row of lasagna noodles. Add sauce for the next layer , then mozzarella cheese for the next layer and so on. You may slice the hard boiled eggs and add them on any layer. Finish with a layer of lasagna noodles. Top with parmesan cheese. After assembly, place pan in 350 degree oven for 30 minutes or until top is brown. Serves 4 to 5 people. KATHY'S ONE PAN LASAGNA - KATHY MAY BEE 1-1/2 lbs. ground beef Lightly brown meat in big skillet (12" square electric works nicely); drain most of fat.

Put tomatoes in blender along wit h spices and remainder of spaghetti sauce mix; blend to remove chunks. Pour over noodles and add 1 cup of water.
