Pizza
For 2 pizzas
Dough:
4 cups flour
2 pkg. instant yeast
2 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
1 ½ cups hot tap water
2 tsp olive oil
In large bowl, mix 3 cups flour, the yeast, salt and sugar. In measuring
jug, mix hot water and oil. Gradually add liquid to flour mixture. Add
½ of flour to mixture, slowly. Sprinkle remaining flour, ½ cup, onto
work surface. Turn dough out on floured surface. Knead about 5 minutes.
Sprinkle surface with more flour if dough gets sticky. Form dough into
two equal sized balls, place back into bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and
let rise for 10-20 minutes, the longer, the crispier the crust. Flatten dough
out slightly then roll out with rolling pin until you’ve reached a desired size
and shape for your pizzas. Place on pans and prick with fork.
Toppings:
There really are no boundaries when it comes to pizza. Whatever you feel
like putting on your pizza is … well, up to you, but here are some
suggestions; this is how I like my pizza:
Start out with sauce. If your allergic to tomatoes, try cheese sauce, sweet potato
sauce or squash sauce. You can buy 398 ml. jars of assorted pasta sauces. For 1
pizza you’ll need somewhere between 1/3 and ½ of a jar, depending on how
much sauce you like on your pizza. Spread sauce evenly on dough. From there,
you could place thin slices of pepperoni, salami, ham, sausage and/ precooked
bacon. If desired, place sliced onion, peppers, garlic, shrimp, etc. Sprinkle grated
cheese (your Favourite or mozzarella) over that. The amount depends on how
much cheese you want on your pizza. I place slices of tomatoes on top of the cheese.
Cook at 425° F for about 20 minutes. Cook 1 at a time or rotate pans, from top
to bottom and bottom to top rack, after 10 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes then
transfer pizzas to a large cutting board, it’s easier to cut that way.
Note: Can substitute some, half or all the flour for whole-wheat flour, if desired.
Scrumptious variations: For Pizza Dipping Strips: use Pillsbury, bread stick dough for
pizza crust.

FOREVER ENDS by Carol HibbsA move to another part of the province is Gabrielle's greatest transition. It is a turning point she and her sons desperately need. A new and safe house would be a wonderful change, or so she hopes. The house is haunted, or possessed, or something too evil to even imagine.
Gabrielle isn’t planning on any romances, never mind falling in love with her gorgeous cabin building neighbour, Ryan. Bad things seemed to happen to people she loved. It is impossible to resist Ryan, and lunacy to assist Christina, the young girl that is either trapped somehow in Gabrielle's house, or trapped in someone's world. Her sons, friends, Ryan and his daughter, Tess, helps her to save Christina.
