December Exchange
I was wondering who is going to be doing the Freezer Meal exchange for December. I thought it would be fun to do a regular meal, but also a cookie dough exchange also (approx 24 cookies). Just let me know who is planning on coming and who wants to participate in the cookie dough exchange. Thanks.
The exchange will be Tuesday - December 9th @ 7:00 at Jamie Smith's home (12514 Fern Creek Trail)

BBQ Chiken Pizzas
Dough
1 pkt. yeast
1/2 tsp sugar
3/4 c warm water
2 1/2 c flour
3 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp kosher salt
Sauce
2 Tbsp unslated butter
1 tsp minced garlic
3/4c ketchup
1/4 c. red cooking wine
1/4 c dijon mustard
2 Tbsp lemon juice
1 Tbsp worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp orgeano
1/4 tsp pepper
4 boneless chicken breasts
olive oil
kosher salt
pepper
2 c. grated gouda cheese
Mix water, sugar and yeast. Let stand about 8 min. Then add olive oil, salt, and flour and knead. (I use my mixer and run it about 3 minutes) Oil a bowl and place dough in to raise.
Meanwhile you can begin making the sauce. Sautee the garlic in the butter til golden. Add the rest of the ingredents and simmer for 10 mintues. Prepare your grill to cook the chicken on medium heat. Cover the chiken with some olive oil, kosher salt and pepper. Then brush with some of the sauce. (keep some for the dough) Cook chiken until firm and cooked through. Grate cheese and let chicken cool a few mintues before cutting. (it will help lock in the moisture) When the dough has doubled in size punch it down then seperate it into 4 sections. Using wax paper that has been oiled shape each pizza crust. Cook on the grill (med temp) for about 3-4 mintues. Bring back inside to dress you pizza. Put the sauce, cheese and chicken on the cooked side of the dough. Place back on the grill until cheese melts. Serve hot!!
*All you will need to do with these will be to let them thaw (about an hour) then put on the grill for about 5 min.
