Gently mix 1 cup lukewarm water, 2 tbsp vegetable oil, 1 tbsp honey, 1/2 tsp garlic or onion powder (no salt) and 1 tbsp dry yeast. Put 2.5 cups of flour in a large bowl and mix in the liquid. Mash it around with your hands a bit so that it's thoroughly mixed and cover and let sit for 10 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 450.
Wipe off your counter and kneed the dough on it until it looks good. Holding it up in the air, stretch it out as best you can. Lightly flour the counter and roll out the dough. It probably won't look much like a circle. We have a large round perforated pizza pan. I roll it out larger than the pan, grease the pan, lay it on the pan, rip off the parts that hang over and use them to patch the parts that don't quite reach.
Bake the crust (with nothing on it) for 10 minutes. Take it out and add toppings. Bake another 10-15 minutes.
Koreana is probably my favourite restaurant in town. They have a great mix Kim-Chi, Bimbap and Sushi, and I really like the friendly, professional, but laid-back attitude of the staff. Usually, I have their Sushi and Amanda has stone-bowl, but next time I'm there, I'm going to try #20.
The Best Thing I've Ever Tasted
This Hazelnut Cake from Simply Biscotti is the best thing I've ever tasted. I'd probably be willing to pay $50 for it. Amanda brought it home to me as a treat, for which I am eternally grateful.
