Triple Chocolate Fudge Brownies
6 servings
INGREDIENTS
2 cups cold milk
1 3-oz. pkg. instant chocolate pudding (I like to use chocolate fudge)
1 18.25-oz. box chocolate cake mix (I use various chocolate,
chocolate fudge mixes)
1 12-oz. pkg. chocolate chips (I use various variations, regular, minis,
milk chocolate, chocolate and peanut butter, etc.)
1 1/4 cups coarsely chopped nuts (whatever your preference -
walnuts, pecans, macadamia nuts, etc.)
METHOD
1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees and set function selector to bake.
Butter/grease a 9” x 12” - inch cake pan. In medium-sized bowl,
mix the milk and chocolate pudding mix. Add the chocolate cake
mix and beat well. Fold in the chocolate chips and nuts. Bake for
40 to 45 minutes.
Tip: They make a wonderful dessert cut into squares, and topped with ice
cream and/or whipped cream and chocolate sauce.

Whole Wheat Pizza Dough
4 servings
INGREDIENTS
1 package fresh or dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water
3 3/4 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup cool water
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon honey
pinch salt
METHOD
1 Dissolve the yeast in the 1/4 cup of warm water and let proof.
2 Put flour in a food processor. Add salt. Pulse several times.
3 Mix the 1 cup cool water with the olive oil, honey and salt.
4 With the motor running, pour the olive oil mixture and yeast slowly
in through the feed tube. Process until the dough forms a ball on
the blade. Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl, cover and let rise
until double in bulk.
5 Punch down the dough and knead it on a lightly floured surface for
1 minute. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and roll them into
tight balls. Place on a tray, cover with a damp towel and let rest for
several hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
6 Roll or stretch each ball of dough into 7 to 8 inch circles.
Place the circles, one at a time, on a wooden peel and build
the pizzas as desired.
