Ranchwife's panbread...

 I found this recipe a couple years back in a MaryJanes Farm magazine (it really bugs me that there's no apostrophe but....).   I use it as a cheater recipe for pizza crust when I don't have time to whip up a yeast pizza crust.  Works beautifully and tastes good too. MaryJane calls is Farmgirl Panbread, but I'm a ways from a girl and I live and work on a ranch, so I've  renamed it Ranchwife's Panbread. 

Ranchwife’s Panbread (originally Farmgirl Panbread)

3 c. flour

2 t. baking powder

½ t. baking soda

½ t. salt

3 T olive oil (or melted butter)

2 T. honey

1 c. warm water

In a bowl, mix dry ingredients.  Then add the wet ingredients and mix until the dough leaves the sides of the bowl and forms itself into a ball.  Turn out onto a floured cupboard and roll out for your pizza pan (or as a crust for a meat or veggie pie).  Put rolled dough onto a well-oiled pan.  Prick crust with a fork.  You may pre-bake the crust for 7 minutes or so at this point or you may add your sauce, toppings, cheese, etc. and bake.  Bake at 425* F for about 17 minutes or until golden brown.  (If you pre-bake, only allow approx. 10 minutes more baking time or until cheese is bubbly)

*You may add Italian spices to the bread dough if you like.

Makes 1 crust.

 The rancher patiently waits for me to snap a picture before he slices into our pizza.  Do you see that I've made it a His & Hers pizza?  Green on my side, all meat on his.  Wanna piece?

 My dad made us a nifty new gadget for our kitchen.  It's a lazy Susan.  Our island slab is so big that it's sometimes hard to reach clear across it to hand the butter or the napkins over to the other side so I put a tray in the middle with everything on it.  I only mentioned the idea of a lazy Susan to Dad, and had one turned out of his wood shop in no time!  I love it, and T. does too.  He enjoys spinning it.  The ball bearing underneath is supposed to bear up under 250 pounds, so I won't be shocked if Papa sets the grandgirls on it and gives them a spin!
