Dill Bread (similar to Grandma Gross')

After allowing frozen dough to rise, split into 10 or so mini dough chunks, and dip each chunk into:

1/2 Stick of Butter
1/4 c. Parmesan Cheese
1 tsp. Dill
1/4 tsp. Garlic Salt

Smash all pieces together back in bread pan to form new loaf, and cook according to instructions (like 350 degrees for about 30 minutes).

*To be more like Grandma/Mom, I think you add some Oregano to the mix...?

Pizza Crust (Mom's)

1 pk. yeast (or 1 Tbs.)
1 cup warm water
1 Tbs. sugar
1 1/2 tsp. salt
2 Tbs. oil
3 cups flour

  1. Mix yeast and water in bowl.
  2. Stir in sugar, salt, and oil; then stir in 1 1/2 cup flour.
  3. Throw in rest of flour and stir.
  4. Kneed into "ball". Once done, rub the surface with oil, and let rise for 45 minutes.
  5. Brush bottom of pizza pan with oil, and roll out the crust; bake @ 425 degrees for 10-20 minutes (watching 1st the done-ness of the crust, and then the cheese, secondarily).


Marya's Pizza Sauce:

  1. Heat about 2 Tbs. of veg. oil in the bottom of a pan.
  2. Add one large can (28 oz.) diced tomatoes, drained (mostly).
  3. Sprinkle salt, pepper, and sugar over the top of all of the tomatoes.
  4. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a low heat and stir occasionally for at least 10 mins.

*At this point you can either let cool, or spread onto dough and cook right away.
