The best Pizza dough

Every time I want to make homemade pizza, I have to look on my sisters blog for her dough recipe and so I am stealing it from her blog, so now I have to just search my own blog instead of hers. Thanks Lindsey and Scott!

Carol's Pizza Dough
Mix together:
2 T. dry yeast
½ c. warm water
2 t. sugar
Set aside until foamy

Mix:
2 ½ c. powdered milk, mixed (2/3 c. powdered milk with 2-2 ½ c. water)
1 T. salt
2 T. oil
2-3 c. flour

Add yeast.
Add flour to sift dough (3-4 c. more flour) until pulls away from bowl.
Raise until double – about 1 hour.
Divide into 3 – rest so it can be elastic, 5-10 minutes.
Floured surface.
Preheat oven 450ยบ.
Cook 9 minutes (we usually go 10-12).

Potato Pizza
Slice a Yukon Gold Potato super thin
Soak it in 3 washes of an ice bath to remove starch
Drain potatoes
dice half an onion
brush olive oil on prepared dough
layer with potatoes, onions and a generous (really, really generous)
handful of freshly grated parmesean
Follow cooking instructions on pizza
Ta da!

All that we have wanted to do but yet have....






It seems like everytime we get towards the end of our stay somewhere we get that itch to catch up on all that we have wanted to do but yet have. We have been pretty good but still haven't seen it all. This is what we did right before we moved in Alaska. We went to Denali National Park and Wrangall St. Elias and went to the Kennicot mines. It was amazing. This weekend we are going to go to Fredricksburg Texas to see the Hill Country and go camping at Canyon Lake. We are going to stay at these beauties http://www.mycountryinn.com/directions.html. We are also go to the Salt Lick (http://www.saltlickbbq.com) which was featured on the Food Network. It should be a great weekend. We need to get some time away. It may not be the same as our weekend trips in Ak, but I think it will be just as fun.
