Today is the last day to leave a comment on this post to enter the Fine Cooking giveaway. That’s right! A one-year subscription to Fine Cooking. Have a subscription already? No worries – add another year! Don’t live in the US? I’m flush enough to award an international subscription (but not much more flush than that, kiddos). Never heard of it before? You’re in for a wonderful surprise. If you haven’t left a comment yet, you have until midnight tonight. Kaweah can’t wait to pick the next winner.

Recipe: basic pizza dough

Whoa, it’s been a while! But I’m finally back to my Daring Bakers Challenge, this time with pizza thanks to our awesome hostess, Rosa of Rosa’s Yummy Yums. I was thrilled that she picked a nominally savory (you could make it sweet, and I’m sure Tartelette did!) recipe.


the daring bakers: we knead to bake!



The only pizza dough I’ve made is the recipe out of the KitchenAid recipe book. You know the one I’m talking about – the book that comes with the KitchenAid stand mixer. It’s a good recipe and we have taken to making thin crust pizzas with it. This month’s challenge was a little different. For one thing, it required cold water instead of warm water.

Seeing as I will be posting my Daring Bakers Challenge in a few short hours, I’m tossing out another puppy pic (I don’t have many of Kaweah when she was a wee pup) to tide folks over – and to fulfill my NaBloWriMo obligation.
