        <![CDATA[<h2>Ingredients</h2>

<h3>Pizza Dough:</h3>

<ul>
<li>16 ounces water</li>
<li>1 1/4 tsp. yeast</li>
<li>2 1/2 tsp. salt</li>
<li>7 1/8 cups bread flour</li>
<li>1/4 cup olive oil</li>
<li>1/4 cup cornmeal</li>
</ul>

<h3>Toppings:</h3>

<ul>
<li>2 cups tomato sauce, jar or homemade</li>
<li>2 cups shredded mozzarella</li>
<li>1/2 cup sliced mushrooms</li>
<li>1/2 cup spinach, shredded</li>
<li>1/2 cup grated Romano</li>
<li>1/2 cup sliced pepperoni</li>
<li>1/2 cup grated Parmesan</li>
</ul>

<h2>Directions</h2>

<p>In a mixer combine the water and the yeast and allow the yeast to dissolve. Add the remaining ingredients except for the cornmeal and begin to mix the dough using a dough hook on low speed. Once a ball is formed mix on medium speed for 1 to 2 minutes until the dough becomes elastic and smooth. Remove from the mixer and place in a bowl coated with olive oil. Allow the dough to rest for approximately 4 hours. Once the dough is rested, place on flat surface and dust with some flour.</p>

<p>Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. In a deep baking dish or deep dish pizza pan, spread the dough using your fingers at the bottom of the pan and make sure to have enough dough to come up the sides of the pan approximately 1/2-inch high.</p>

<p>Begin by placing a layer of the mozzarella cheese on the bottom of the crust. Add the tomato sauce and all of the toppings. Place in the oven for 30 to 40 minutes until golden and crispy.</p>

<p>Prep Time: 20 min
Inactive Prep Time: 4 hr
Cook Time: 40 min</p>

<p>Serves 6</p>

        <![CDATA[<p><strong>Baja Tacos</strong></p>

<p>* 1 cup flour<br />
* 1/2 tsp kosher salt<br />
* 1/2 tsp cracked pepper<br />
* 1 1/2 lbs fresh sea bass, halibut, swordfish or cod, cut into 1-inch chunks<br />
* vegetable oil<br />
* 12-14 fresh corn tortillas, 6 inches in diameter, warmed<br />
* 1 cup shredded green cabbage<br />
* 1 cup shredded red cabbage<br />
* 1 medium white onion, minced<br />
* pico de gallo</p>

<p># To cook the fish, combine the flour, salt and pepper in a shallow bowl, and dredge the fish chunks in this mixture. Line a platter with paper towels. Place 2-3 inches of oil in a large skillet and heat the oil until the temperature measures 350&deg;F on a candy thermometer. Drop 4 or 5 chunks of the dredged fish into the hot oil and deep-fry for 2-3 minutes until the fish chunks are golden brown. Remove the fish from the oil and place on platter. Repeat with remaining fish.<br />
# Fold fish into warmed tortillas. Garnish with a portion of the chipotle ranch dressing, and then with a little cabbage and onion. Top with a bit of pico de gallo. </p>

<p>Note: Also delicious to use <a href="http://www.mysticalmeatballs.com/2010/12/florida_cole_slaw.html">Florida Cole Slaw</a> in place of the shredded cabbage. </p>

<p><strong>Chipotle Ranch Dressing</strong></p>

<p>* 3/4 cup prepared ranch dressing<br />
* 1/4 cup sour cream<br />
* 1 tsp chipotle chile in adobo sauce, seeded and minced</p>

<p># To make the dressing, thoroughly blend together the prepared ranch dressing and the sour cream, add the minced chile, and refrigerate until ready to serve.</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>* 1 pork roast, shoulder or butt, 4-5 lbs<br />
* 1 medium yellow onion, sliced<br />
* 4 cloves garlic, whole<br />
* 3 Tbsp kosher salt<br />
* 2 Tbsp olive oil<br />
* freshly ground pepper<br />
* 2 medium yellow onions, minced<br />
* 4 serrano chiles, seeded and chopped<br />
* 1 cup whole milk<br />
* 24 fresh corn tortillas, 6 inches in diameter<br />
* 3 limes, sliced into thin wedges<br />
* salsa</p>

<p># Place the meat in a large pot with enough water to cover. Add the onion, garlic, and 2 tablespoons of the salt. Bring to a boil. Cook at a low boil over medium heat for 3-4 hours, until the meat pulls apart easily. [Can also use slow cooker: 1-2 hours on high, then 6-8 hours on low.]</p>

<p># Remove meat from the pot, reserving 1 1/2 cups of the cooking liquid. Let the meat cool slightly and shred it. If some of the meat does not shred with the grain, chop it into small pieces.</p>

<p># In another large pot, saute the minced onion and the chopped chile in the olive oil, and season with the remaining salt and pepper. When the onion is soft, about 3-4 minutes, add the meat and the 1 1/2 cups of broth. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until the juices have been absorbed, about 15 minutes. </p>

<p># Preheat oven to 350&deg;F. Spread the shredded meat evenly in a 13 x 9-inch baking pan, and slowly pour the milk over the meat. Bake for 45 minutes, stirring every 10-15 minutes as the meat browns.</p>

<p>To serve, spoon meat into fresh corn tortillas. Garnish with lime wedges and salsa. </p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>    * 1/2 cup Dutch-process unsweetened cocoa powder<br />
    * 11/4 cups all-purpose flour<br />
    * 1 cup sugar<br />
    * 1/2 tsp baking soda<br />
    * 1/8 tsp salt<br />
    * 2 whole large eggs<br />
    * 1 large egg yolk<br />
    * 3/4 cup buttermilk<br />
    * 1/4 cup vegetable oil<br />
    * 1 tsp vanilla<br />
    * Unsalted butter</p>

<p>1. Sift together cocoa, flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt into a large bowl, then whisk in eggs, yolk, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla until combined well.</p>

<p>2. Heat a griddle or nonstick skillet over moderately low heat and lightly coat with butter.</p>

<p>3. Working in batches of 2 or 3, pour ¼ cup batter per cake onto hot griddle; cook until bubbles appear on surface, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip cakes with a large spatula; cook until tops spring back when pressed gently, about 1 minute more.</p>

<p>4. Transfer to a plate and loosely cover with foil to keep warm. Add ½ tsp butter to griddle between batches.</p>
