Whole Wheat Pizza Dough

Pizza is a universal favorite in our house.  I prefer to make it at home rather than buy. This way I can control the ingredients that go into it. No preservatives is the best part. Next I always cut down on the cheese.  Of course this is not a 100% whole wheat pizza, but still [...]

Simple Focaccia

Focassia is an Italian flat bread. It also has toppings like the pizza, but lacks the sauce that usually goes over it. Also it is generally thicker than the pizza crust and is also used to make sandwiches. This recipe is similar to the Pizza recipe. So the Ingredients and quantities stay the same. For [...]


Homemade Pizza

Last night my son decided he wanted pizza at 11:30 pm. I think I still need to figure out how to make him eat a proper meal before sleeping. Most days he eats reasonably well, but occasionally he refuses to eat anything I suggest. This had been one of those days. Anyway, here he is [...]


Bread Pizza

This is a dish I used to make even as a kid in India. When I was growing up pizza was not as easily available in India as it is now. To satisfy my pizza cravings I would pile up some toppings on a slice of bread; sprinkle with cheese and bake in the oven [...]
