FRENCH BREAD ROLLS TO DIE FOR

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
• To the yeast mixture, add the oil, salt, and 2 cups flour. Stir in the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until the dough has pulled away from the sides of the bowl. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl, and turn to coat. Cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
• Deflate the dough, and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into 16 equal pieces, and form into round balls. Place on lightly greased baking sheets at least 2 inches apart. Cover the rolls with a damp cloth, and let rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Bake for 18 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown.

FRENCH BREAD PIZZA

Steps:

• 1. preheat oven to 400*. while oven is heating, start frying the ground beef and peppers/onions blend together.
• 2. while beef is browning, drain tomatoes and mushrooms, and open french bread tube.
• 3. spray a large cookie sheet with pan spray, and CAREFULLY find the edge of the bread roll (it looks like a "seam"). unroll the bread and lay it on your baking sheet. you may have to "patch a hole or two", or stretch the dough gently to fit your pan.
• 4. pour the pizza sauce over the dough, then start layering the ingredients, sprinkling the fire-roasted tomatoes, and mushrooms over the whole pizza evenly.
• 5. take the two shredded cheeses and pour them into a bowl together. mix them up with your hands, then top pizza (this seems to distribute the fat/nonfat cheese more evenly, and the melt on the pizza is good).
• 6. bake for 15 minutes and cut into 12 large pieces to enjoy! the count for this pizza per slice is: 165 calories, 3.5 grams fat, 19 grams total carbs! serve with a side salad and feel like you've splurged...

PIZZA CRUST ( FRENCH-STYLE)

Steps:

• Add sugar to water. Dissolve yeast in water.
• Add 4 cups flour and salt.
• Beat well with wooden spoon.
• Add the rest of the flour one cup at a time.
• When dough starts to pull away from the side of the bowl, turn out on floured board and knead until smooth.
• Place dough in a bowl that has been oiled w/ olive oil.
• Cover and let rise until doubled in bulk.
• Cut into two portions and let rest for 15 minutes.
• Pat or roll out in pans.
• I use 15 1/2 by 10 1/2 jelly roll pans.
• Sprinkle edges of crust with cornmeal if you like.
• Spread with your favorite sauce, cheeses and topping.
• Most pizza is cooked on high heat 500°F+ for 15-20 minutes until cheese in the middle is bubbly and the bottom of the crust is browned.
• A hint-- Pizza cooks from the outside in so don't overload the middle of the pizza too much-- and have the cheese,sauce and toppings go right to the edge.
