Pizza/Calzone Dough

Homemade Pizza/Calzone recipe my 10 y/o son will eat

Mix in a small bowl and let sit/proof/bubble for 5 minutes or so:

¼ C hot water
1 TBSP yeast
1 TBSP sugar

Then put these things in your mixer:

3½ C Flour
2 TBSP Oregano (crush/roll between hands before you put it in)
1 tsp garlic salt
2 TBSP garlic
¼  C olive oil
¼ C Parmesan  cheese


Next add the yeast mixture and another  ¾ C. warm water.  Then I just let it mix for 5-10 minutes.  If it's sticky, I add more flour in until it isn't.

This recipe will make 2 pizza crusts if you use regular size cookie sheets.  We use a jelly roll pan + a round pizza stone.  Son gets the stone pizza.  We roll them out pretty thin, because while I LOVE deep dish, it doesn't work well with my post gastric bypass stomach.  Hubs is on a diet, and son prefers thinner crust on homemade.

So we spread the crusts out on their respective pans, and put in 425° oven for 7-10 mins.  Then we pull them out; put sauce, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, toppings on top.  Put back in the oven for 11-13 minutes. :)

Monterey House Candy (Leche Quemada - Burnt Milk Fudge)

I've searched for this recipe for literally years. They used to give to away at Monterey House in Dickinson, TX. I've made countless pans of what usually turns into semi-burnt caramel. I did find this exact candy at Las Palmas here in Springdale, but they seldom have it. They don't have a recipe. They claim they GO TO MEXICO and buy it from someone there, and bring it back?! Seriously useless. But here it is- someone from Dickinson gave out this recipe and I'm going to try it. You may all get some for Christmas this year if it works out. And if you don't absolutely LOVE it, please just send it back and I will eat it- somehow. NEVER LET IT GO TO WASTE!!! 5 pounds sugar 4 12-oz cans evaporated milk 1 12-oz can evaporated goat’s milk (or substitute evaporated milk) 2 cups light corn syrup 1 tablespoon salt 1 tablespoon Mexican vanilla extract 4 tablespoons butter I N S T R U C T I O N S Put sugar, evaporated milk, evaporated goat’s milk, corn syrup and sa...

My Version of Homemade Taco/Mexican Seasoning

There's a lots of these around, so I made up one of my own. We really like it, so I'm trying to get it all documented so we can re-make it when we run out. Angie's Homemade Mexican Taco Seasoning 1 TBSP Garlic Powder 1 TBSP Onion Powder 1 TBSP Himalayan or Sea Salt 1 TBSP Cumin 1 TBSP Crushed (dried) Cilantro 2 tsp Chipotle Chile Pepper powder 1 tsp white pepper (powder) I use the crushed/dried/powdered form of all of these because I put it in a glass spice jar and shake it on stuff.
