Using the Breadmaker: A Great Rainy Day Dinner...

Can I just say first...oh my word Blogger...have you been giving me headaches over the past 2 weeks!

There were some days that I couldn't even log into my blog and post...it reduced me to tears of frustration!

And I couldn't  comment on many of the blogs I love because it kept saying "anonymous" or wouldn't register my comment at all!

And some days my followers list would not show.

I know lots of others have been having the same problems... so I know that  it is a blogger problem.

 But jeepers!

It was raining here yesterday and I really wanted something simple to make for dinner.

My husband usually cooks on Saturday night, but he was away this weekend for work

I decided to get out my bread maker and load in some stuff for pizza dough for dinner.

I love this recipe...it tastes so good and it has healthy ingredients, so I thought I would share.

Look at this beautiful dough rising out of the breakmaker after 2 hours:

 I then turned that dough into this pizza crust.

The dough could have made 2 pizzas, but I decided to go with a 'deep' dish pizza this time.

 One of my favourite pizzas is the Chicken Club from Panago Pizza, so I decided to re-create it at home.

I used Kraft  Bacon Ranch dressing with some added garlic for the sauce.

It worked out perfectly!

 I used my Black & Decker breadmaker which makes a 2 lb. loaf or a large dough.

Here is the recipe for the dough:

Whole Wheat Pizza Dough:

Place in breakmaker in order listed:

13 oz. water

2 1/2 Tbsp. Olive Oil

2 cups white flour

2 cups + 4 Tbsp. whole wheat flour

3 Tbsp. sugar

1 1/2 tsp salt

2 tsp bread machine yeast.

This makes enough for 2- 12"-14" pizzas or one large deep dish pizza.

For the toppings for Mediterranean Chicken Club:

3/4 cup Kraft Bacon Ranch Dressing with 1 clove crushed garlic added

1 large chicken breast, cooked & cubed

2 tomatoes diced

1/2 red onion diced

1/4 cup kalamata olives

Sprinkle with fresh cilantro & shredded cheese.

It was a super easy supper...just add a green salad and a bottle of white wine.

Yummy!

Perfect for a rainy day!
