After having been a "free" member for many years, I made it official and became a supporting member today. My recipe box is not very full, but I'm going to work on that.  I'm going to add those that sound good, try them, and delete them or adjust them as I go.  I watch the Food Netw MORE

Whole Wheat and Honey Pizza Dough
I read some of the comments and took some advice. I needed enough dough for a 14-inch stone, so I used 1-1/2 times the water, flour (though I used whole what pastry flour), wheat germ and salt, the one package of yeast, and 2 tbsp of honey. It rolled nicely on my stone. I baked it at 400 for 15 minutes, which was a few minutes too long; however, after adding my ingredients for a Greek pizza and baking it another 12 minutes, it was crispy and very yummy. Next time I won't prebake it as long or I might decrease the heat to the recommended 350. Definitely a crust I'll try again. Yummy!

Traditional Osso Buco
I added some italian seasoning and with no white wine available, I added red. The taste was delicious; however, I needed to cook it longer, probably 2 hours.
