If you are anything like me, there are many foods that you will cook or prepare and others you will steer clear of. For me as an example: Deep dish pizza pie crust. I love deep dish pizza especially with the unique taste of anchovies; I just don't make it. Why? you may ask. Because the crust is made with yeast.
Now, I grant you that breads and pizza doughs are delicious when they are made with yeast. Homemade yeast rolls are heavenly. However, cooking with yeast is not popular with me. Something always seems to go wrong.
And, yet, I make deep dish pizza pie with a yeast crust and it is fresh! It does not come out of a box. I get it from the refrigerated section of my favorite store. I roll out the dough to which the yeast has already been added and add my favorite toppings--fresh mozzarella, plum tomatoes, Italian seasonings, garlic, basil, onions and my very favorite topping; anchovies.
And, speaking of anchovies: they are not just for deep dish pizza; they go with many foods. Pasta, many kinds of salads, (the most popular of these is the Caesar), dressings, spreads for meat and even in potato salad; all of these benefit from the unique taste of anchovies.
So, I don't know about you, you may like to cook with yeast. If not, look in your neighborhood or town that has refrigerated ready made deep dish pizza pie crust. I have even heard more than one chef talk of going to a pizza parlor and buying dough. I have not done that yet. Adding the unique taste of anchovies will give you an unexpected treat!

I love all things food: cooking, eating, trying new recipes and sharing what I make with family and friends. I must say that my most favorite (I have many favorites) food is fish and mostly catfish. So, I'm always seeking catfish recipes frolm all olver. I like my cooking, my daughter, Wendy's, cooking and my son, Dan's dishes, as well. I'm not a food snob; in other words, I also enjoy OPC, (Other People's Cooking) also. I've got loads of interests: cats and dogs, taking photos, Giant pandas, chandeliers and the arts. I am a former teacher, personal chef and recovering lawyer turned information marketer. I love (watching) football, basketball, extreme sports like mountain/rock climbing, snowboarding, skiing and surfing. My own extreme sports are swimming, walking and talking. Not necessarily at the same time.
