Expeirment Food

I love Pizza we grew up eating pizza at least once a week. Never homemade always store bought or ordered out. Now that I have my own family I like to try new things and homemade pizza is one of them. So I have a basic recipe for the dough that is my sister-in-laws that I love. Then I just play around with the toppings. Some of my favorite pizza's I have made is this one Alfredo, chicken, tomato and BBQ chicken, bacon pizza.

Pizza Crust
1/2 Tablespoon Yeast
1 Cup warm water
1 T. Sugar
Combine set for about 5 mins until foamy

In mixer add:
2 to 3 Tablespoons oil
1 tsp. salt
2 to 2 1/2 cups of flour
Add yeast
Mix all together when dough comes away from sides of mixer it is done.
Roll out on floured surface then spray cookie sheet and put dough on. For thin crust I just use one batch of dough if you want thick double it.
Then add toppings:
Cook 1/2 to 1 lb of ground up chicken
Make one package of Alfredo sauce or buy 1 bottle. Put 1/2 of the sauce on crust the other half add to chicken once cooked.
Put chicken on crust then add cheese your favorite kind. For this one I used cheddar and monetary jack.
Then dice up 1 tomato and add on top.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees and cook for 20 to 30 mins.
Once I made this and ate it I thought artichoke hearts would have been really good on it. So I will let you know how that goes next time we have it.

Super Bowl Food

Yummy Doesn't that look delicious we made it for Super Bowl it was a hit. It was so moist and full of flavor!

Chocolate Chocolate Chip Bunt Cake
1 Chocolate Cake mix super moist(get a cake mix that calls for 3 eggs)
1 small chocolate pudding mix
When you add the eggs put the 3 in that the cake mix called for; then add 1 more so you will have put 4 eggs in the batter.
1/2 cup oil
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup milk
1 cup finely chopped chocolate chips (freeze your chocolate chips then once frozen chop them up this way they won't all sink to the bottom of the cake)
Mix all ingredients together for 3 to 4 mins. Grease bunt pan then add cake mixture to pan and bake.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees cook 40 to 45 mins. Once cooled add frosting.

Frosting
1 stick of butter (softened)
1 (8oz.) package of cream cheese (softened)
1 tsp. vanilla
4 cups powdered sugar
Mix together until smooth then add to cake.

The awesome thing about this recipe you can change the cake mix, pudding, chocolate chips and make a vanilla one or butterscotch or any other flavors that sound good. Enjoy!!!
