Pizza Crust

From the SL forums. We are now totally hooked on homemade pizza.

1 cup warm water
1 Tbl yeast
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1/4 cup oil
2.5 cups flour
dried italian spices

Mix together water, yeast and sugar. Let sit for about 10 minutes. Then add salt, oil, flour and spices; mix together then let sit for about 15 minutes. Roll onto large pizza pan, top with favorite toppings, bake for 20 minutes at 425.

Maple-Butter Syrup

My boys just love pancakes and syrup for dinner. Can't say I blame them.


1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup light corn syrup
maple flavored extract
butter flavored extract

Mix together sugars and water and corn syrup, heat until sugars melted, just below boiling. Remove from heat. Add 1 capful each of extracts. Let cool before storing. Makes just shy of two cups.
