Hi everyone.

I've been buying pizza dough at Trader Joes. My problem is that after I dab
a little flour and stretch it out to fit on my pizza pan, it starts to shrink
back. By the time I get the toppings on the pizza it has taken on a weird shape
and it's not really a "large pizza" any more. Does anyone know how to prevent
this from happening? What am I doing wrong? Thanks for your help.

There is a restaurant in the Kansas City area that serves a white cheese spinach
dip called Espinaca. It is not baked. Not very tomato-ey. Does anyone have a good
recipe for a white cheese spinach dip?

I acquired several miniature muffin tins. Most muffin recipes are for the regular
size. How should I adjust the baking times? Is there a rule of thumb? I would
love to have recipes for the miniatures and not have to worry about the
difference in baking times! Can anyone out there help?

Hi Kaylin,

Was someone looking for Bratwurst recipes? If so, here's one that I had when
Epcot first opened at Disney. I think I must have had it at the German site.
It's different and very good.

6 cooked bratwurst sausages cooked
1 can (any size) stewed tomatoes heated
6 croissants

Place bratwurst in croissant and add a couple spoonfuls of the stewed tomatoes.
Wrap in foil and enjoy!!

Re: Bread Bowls

Use any white, whole wheat or other bread recipe that you like that makes a
fairly sturdy loaf. Remove from breadmaker after rising and before your bread
maker starts to bake. Grease the outside of soup bowls really well. Divide dough
(I think a standard size loaf recipe will make 3 to 5 bread bowls, (depending on
size of bowls) into even sized pieces, roll out and shape over well greased soup
bowls. Bake at 350 degrees for length of time specified in recipe, checking about
10 minutes before minimum baking time. Bowls should be light brown, about the
same color as you would want your crust to be on a loaf of bread.

Light Whole Wheat Bread 1

1 1/2 Lb Loaf
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 2/3 cups bread flour
1 1/2 cups whole-wheat flour
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons honey
1 1/4 cups water
1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Add all ingredients in the order suggested by your bread machine manual and
process on the basic bread cycle according to the manufacturer's directions
until end of kneading cycle..

White Bread 2

2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
3 cups bread flour
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp sugar
1/4 cup nonfat dry milk powder
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tbsp butter or margarine
1 cup water

Add ingredients in order suggested by manufacturer. Process on white bread cycle
on light setting. removing dough from bread maker before it starts to bake. Very
soft white bread with a crusty exterior .

If you don't have a bread maker, the following is a good quick recipe for making
bread bowls and other things although I have never made it as a loaf of bread.

30 Minute Bread from Leann Titus

1 1/8 cup warm water (110 F)
1/3 cup oil
1/2 tsp. salt (opt.)
1/4 cup sugar
2 packages dry yeast
1 large egg (beaten)
4 cups all purpose flour (Or part whole wheat flour)

Combine water, oil, sugar, and yeast. Let rest 15 minutes. Add salt and egg.
Mix well. Stir in flour. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth. Shape
immediately into rolls, buns, pizza crust, cinnamon rolls, etc. Let rest for
about 10 minutes. Bake at 425 F. for about 15 minutes or until brown.

For pizza crust use olive oil. I usually bake a little longer.
Take half the dough and stretch or roll it out on your pizza stone. Add white or
red sauce, toppings you like and bake about 12 minutes. Carefully remove from
oven, sprinkle generously with cheese and return to over for another 3 to 5
minutes or until edges of pizza begin to brown and cheese melts and bubbles.

For buns, use a lightly oiled biscuit cutter to cut out, place on lightly greased
cookie sheet and bake at 425 for 15-18 minutes or until brown.

For rolls, pinch of quarter sized pieces. Roll into balls, place 3 in greased
muffin pans. Bake at 425 F. for about 15 minutes or until brown.

For cinnamon rolls, roll out into oblong shape about 8-9 inches wide. Butter,
then sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon. Roll up, sealing edge. Slice into ¾
to 1 inch slices. Bake on lightly oiled foil line cookies sheets until light
brown. Frost with powdered sugar frosting.

For Bread Bowls, divide into equal sized pieces (3 to 5 depending on the size of
your bowls). Grease the outside and rim of the OVENPROOF bowls really well. Bake
on foil lined lightly greased cookie sheet at 425 F checking color after 10
minutes. Bake until desired color. Don't make them too thin but realize they
will thicken as they bake.

Re: Bread Bowls

Purchase the frozen bread loaves, cut in half and bake as directed. Hollow out
and pour in your favorite soup. I like the creamy soups for this idea.
* for a smaller size just cut the loaf in thirds.
