End of September

It is the last day of the month, so it is time for the challenge wrap up. Just one more recipe to share, on Friday, I made Robin's chicken and rosemary pizza with goat cheese. It turned out pretty good (it is wonderful with goat cheese!), but a little over browned. Maybe my oven runs a little hot. For the pizza dough, I used a different recipe that my family has used for years.

Bread machine pizza dough with beer

1 cup flat beer
2 T butter
2T sugar
1 tsp salt
2 1/2 cups AP flour
1 pk active yeast.

Combine in bread machine in order listed and put on dough cycle.

Every other time I make pizza dough I am disappointed. That beer really gives it a lot of flavor! I haven't made it without a bread machine, but don't really see why that wouldn't work. This time I double it to freeze half for later, and used 1/3-1/4 of whole wheat flour for extra texture.

The October challenge is Robin's Choice. Ooooh, what could it be? For November, we will be cooking out of one of KristiB's favorite cookbooks: Hot Sour Salty Sweet. It is a pretty big (read:expensive) book, but you can find it for less. My library actually had a copy, and after looking it over, I am going to buy it. It is a gorgeous book!
