Pizza Dough

2 cups of warm water
2 tbs yeast
1 tbs sugar
dissolve the above

Add 1 1/2 tsp salt
5 cups flour

Mix until workable with hands. Will make 2 17" pizza crust. You don't not have to let this dough rise, you can start working with it as soon as it is done.

I like to make pizza in my cast iron pans.
Melt a little butter in bottom of pan, sprinkle corn meal in bottom.
Place you pizza dough in the bottom and spread with finger until it is the size of your cast iron pan.
I brush a little oil or butter on top of the dough sprinkle a little garlic salt and Parmesan cheese. Add my cheese next then veg and meat in that order. Then place my sauce on the top. That way the cheese doesn't burn.
When the pizza is done I then add a little cheese on the top until it is melted.

My family loved it.

Light Bread

6 cups of warm water
3 tbs yeast
let this set until the yeast has become active then add:
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup of oil
1 tbs salt

enough flour (about 12 to 14 cups, maybe a more or maybe less) to make a good dough that you can handle. Place dough in a oiled bowl covered with a dish towel. Let it rise until double. You should have enough dough to make about 6 loaves of bread. Or 2 loaves of bread, a 9x13 pan of cinnamon rolls and a 9x13 pan of meat rolls.

Bake at a temperature of 350 for about 35 to 40 min. or until the loaves are a golden brown.

I use this same dough for:
Cinnamon Rolls
Sticky maple buns
Fry Bread
Rolls
Meat rolls
Monkey Bread
Hamburger buns

This recipe is from my Grandmother Alice Bowler Porter only she would put the flour in a big bowl and make a well. She then put her yeast in a cake bowl size of warm water, when she add her yeast and water into the well of flour she added her sugar, oil and salt. With a lot of patience she gradually stirred in a circle fashion with a large spoon until enough flour had been added to the water to make a dough that was workable. She then turned the dough out onto a floured surface and kneaded the dough over and over again.

I still can remember standing at her kitchen table and watching her work her dough. It was like performing magic to me. I think that was where I first learn the love of making bread. It fascinated me then and it still does. I love making bread, but now I use the same recipe that my Grandmother use only I use a BOSH. I think of her when I make bread. She would have loved to have such modern equipment to make her bread, but then I think that she was probably in better shape. She had to use her own type of machine. (MUSCLES)
