Pizza Crust or Rolls

Ingredients:
1 cup milk
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup butter or margarine
4-5 cups flour
3 Tbs. sugar
1 tsp. salt
4 tsp. yeast (2 packages)

Combine milk, water, and butter in a small saucepan. Heat over low heat until liquids are very warm (put your finger in it- if it is warm it is done) butter does not need to melt.

Place 3 1/2 cups flour, sugar, salt, and yeast in bowl. Mix- gradually add warm liquids to flour mixture. Add remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until dough clings to hook and cleans sides of bowl. You don't necessarily need to use all of the rest of the remaining flour.

It makes two pizzas so only use half of the dough and place on greased pizza pan, and poke holes with fork and bake at 400 for about 8 min. ( I really like using a pizza stone, it turns out better )

For rolls: place dough in greased bowl and let rise ( about 15 min). Shape into rolls and place on greased cookie sheet- let rise. Bake at 400 for about 7-10 min or until slightly brown. ( I like to tie the dough in little knots instead of just rolling into balls. I usually don't let them rise when I put them on the cookie sheet)

Enjoy! Tara Tracy
