Roasted Garlic, Chicken & Herb Pizza, with a new Crust recipe

By -

We very much enjoyed this delightful pizza, I just LOVE homemade! It's such a great way to get kids involved and learning about food and cooking. Next time I will double the sauce and add tomatoes, for color, and added yumminess. This crust recipe turned out great, as well! I recommend getting a pizza stone. Ever since using one we've really enjoyed all our crusts.

Roasted Garlic, Chicken & Herb Pizza
Pizza Dough (recipe below)
1 tbsp butter
8 cloves roasted garlic, minced
2 tbsp flour
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 c skim milk + 1/4 c half and half (i used 3/4 c whole milk because that's what i had)
1/4 c parmsan cheese
chicken, cooked and shredded (optional)
1/4 c red onion, sliced
3/4 c mozzarella cheese
1 tsp fresh thyme
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1 tbsp fresh parsley

Dough 
1 c warm water
2 1/4 tsp yeast
1 tsp salt
Herbs & Seasonings (optional: I used oregano, parsley, garlic powder on this one)
2 tbsp oil
3-4 c flour (one cup at a time, because it can really vary. i had to use more before, and this last time i needed less)

Sprinkle yeast over warm water and let sit. Stir in salt, herbs and seasonings, oil and 2 cups flour. Add more flour and knead until dough is slightly sticky, but not so much that it won't drop from your palm.
Place in a greased bowl and let rise.

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Melt butter in a saucepan. Saute roasted garlic for 1 minute (it's fine if you didn't want to take the time to roast your garlic...it'll still taste yummy!)
Add flour, and mix until well blended. Cook for 1 minute.
Slowly whisk in the milk and half and half. Mix in pepper, and a little salt if desired.
Roll out your dough. Spread white sauce over the dough. Top with chicken, red onions, cheese, and oregano.
Bake for 17 minutes, or until the crust golden, and cheese is melted.
Remove from teh oven, sprinkle with fresh herbs. (I think next time I'll add some fresh before and after) Slice and serve!

Bon Appetite!!

Josh got me to try some lentil soup at Corner Bakery. I was nervous, because I have not liked lentils in the past, but in the past few years I have grown to love many things I hadn't previously. And I liked it! So I immediately went on the hunt for a "copy cat" recipe, and though I have no idea if this is in fact the same, all three of us enjoyed it!  Lentil Vegetable Soup 2/3 c green lentils 1/3 c orange lentils (you can really use whatever lentils you wants) 1 lg onion, roughly chopped 2-3 cloves garlic, chopped 1 lg tomato, chopped 1-2 carrots, diced 1/2 c mushrooms 1/2 bunch spinach or 2-3 big leaves of kale, chopped fine 1/4 c corn 2-4 c vegetable/chicken broth S&P to taste Combine and wash all lentils and set aside. In a pot, heat some olive oil and saute onions, carrots, and garlic till onions are translucent. Add the mushrooms, and some salt. Saute a few minutes until they get soft, then add the tomatoes. Cover and let t

Galette des Rois

January 6 is the Epiphany, a day to celebrate when the 3 kings visited Baby Jesus.  I think it is a Catholic holiday.  I learned about it while in France and love the tradition of making a galette des rois/Kings Cake.   The tradition goes you make the cake with a hidden bean inside.  The youngest person at the table sits under the table.  As a slice of cake is plated, the youngster names who gets that slice.  (make sure you slice the cake so you have only as many slices as you do people eating the cake)  Whoever finds the hidden bean is the King or Queen for the evening and wears a crown.  This year, I think I improved my recipe, with more almond filling than I normally add.  I thought it was going to end up messy but instead it made it yummier.  I had some extra filling and decided to make a mini kings cake with the extra puff pastry.  I added some fresh raspberries which tasted quite yummy all warm in the cake.  Though I think I prefer it without the berries.  Try it out, it is reall
