Spicy African Yam Soup
This was delicious! It tastes very authentic, only in Africa you would serve it over rice instead of adding the rice to the soup. I substituted some chopped broccoli for the zucchini because that's what I had on hand, but otherwise made it according to the recipe and am so glad I doubled it! I would highly recommend it! The ingredients are odd but they blend together marvelously! For my own taste, I added black pepper, and my husband added red pepper flakes, but it is a great base to adjust to individual tastes!

Pizza Dough III
This crust is AWESOME! I originally added spices (italian seasoning, garlic powder, etc) but it really doesn't need anything extra! Also, I have made it with 3/4 cup water to cut down on the dough stickiness and it IS less sticky, but the crust doesn't turn out nearly as well. Something in the middle, like 7/8 cup water, is just about perfect. Just be sure to flour your hands and counter before you start playing with your dough! For dough rising, I let it rise for one hour in a warm place (we have a two-deck oven, so I heat the top to 200* and place the bowl covered with a damp tea towel underneath for an hour) and it turns out great every time! I bake our pizzas at 400* on a preheated pizza stone and cooking time depends on the toppings, so keep an eye on it.

Exquisite Pizza Sauce
I have to say I'm confused about this recipe's ratings. This sauce has a very unique flavor that we did not like at all... it has quite a kick for pizza sauce and found that honey sweetening did not mix well with the other flavors. It also takes quite a bit of time to make in comparison to other sauces. I made pizza for my daughter's birthday party (using Easy Pizza Sauce III and Pizza Dough III from this site... both EXCELLENT recipes!) and my sister said she had tried a pizza sauce that received amazing ratings and just tasted bizarre and it turned out it was THIS recipe! We have no clue why this is rated so well, but if you're looking for a great NORMAL pizza sauce, try Easy Pizza Sauce III! The 2 stars are because it was edible... not gross but not good either.
