Tonights Dinner

[Guest guest]

I promise I have read the recipe over and there are no m**t substances

or liquids.

 

I made homemade pizza dough today in the food processor. I have made it

before in the bread machine and because the flour was bread flour the

dough did not want to stretch very easily or roll out too easily. This

time the dough was made with all-purpose flour and rolled out

beautifully. This is a great pizza dough recipe. I'll be making it

again.

 

This recipe is lacto, not ovo.
