All-purpose Pizza Dough

• 1 package dry yeast (about 2 1/4 teaspoons)
• 1 1/4 cups warm water (100° to 110°)
• 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, divided
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• Cooking spray

1. Dissolve yeast in warm water in a large bowl, and let stand 5 minutes. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups, and level with a knife. Add 1 cup flour and salt to yeast mixture, and stir well. Stir in 2 cups flour, 1 cup at a time, stirring well after each addition. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic (about 10 minutes), and add enough of the remaining flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, to prevent the dough from sticking to hands (dough will feel tacky).
2. Place the dough in a large bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to coat top. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85°), free from drafts, 1 hour or until doubled in size. (Press two fingers into dough. If an indentation remains, the dough has risen enough.) Punch dough down; cover and let rest 5 minutes. Shape dough according to the recipe directions.
3. Note: To freeze, let the dough rise once, punch down, and shape into a ball.
4. Place in a heavy-duty zip-top plastic bag coated with cooking spray; squeeze out all air, and seal. Store in freezer for up to 1 month. To thaw, place dough in refrigerator 12 hours or overnight. With scissors, cut away the plastic bag. Place dough on a floured surface, and shape according to recipe directions. Alternatively, for pizza, you can make the dough, roll out, wrap in foil, and freeze. To bake, remove from freezer; top and bake according to recipe instructions (no need to thaw).

Apple Crisps

this makes about 25 chips

1 large Granny Smith apple
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon

Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F.  Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

Using a mandoline, slice the apples as thinly as you can.  Mix the sugar and the cinnamon in a shallow bowl and dip the apple slices lightly in the mixture, just lightly coating them.  Lay the slices on the baking sheets, about 12 slices per sheet.  Bake for 1 hour.  Remove one pan at a time and flip the apple slices over with tongs.  When you return pans to oven, also rotate them - put the one that was on the top rack on the bottom.  Bake for one more hour.  Remove pans from oven. Apple slices will start to harden up pretty quickly.  Remove with tongs.

Oven Cooked Bacon

Maybe I can finally cook bacon without a water gun in the other hand to stave off the cats!

Step One
Preheat oven to 375° F.

Step Two
Line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper.

Step Three
Lay bacon side-by-side, it can be touching, but not overlapping.

Step Four
For thick cut bacon bake 20 minutes for a chewy and slightly crispy texture and 25 minutes
for less chewy and more crispy. For medium to thin cut bacon bake 15-20 minutes.

Step Five
Drain cooked bacon on a paper-towel lined plate and enjoy!
