Since moving to Texas, this northern girl has had to make a lot of adjustments … Macintosh Apples are rare, the Friday night fish fry is not a special, there are no Spotted Cows (beer or actual), and you feel the need to at least like Mexican food (Tex-Mex), Barbecue, and Ahi Tuna Towers.  I honestly was told in clinic, after telling a patient I don’t really like barbecue, to never to say I don’t like BBQ to a patient – he may not respect my opinion on his dermatologic issues either. So, I set my heights on trying, and at least learning to like (I was wishing to enjoy) prepared styles of bbq. It’s all in the sauce, and I found one! Austin’s finest BBQ and Pizza.

I love pizza, so to start my barbecue adventure this way, was a safe-er bet.  I actually found this recipe on my friend’s website, A Food Driven Life, and decided to try it out!  Let me tell you, it was a little work, more waiting for the yeast to rise and chicken to cook, than actual work but I would recommend it to everyone! Hence, me repeating the post.

Recipe

Start by mixing the pizza dough. In a liquid measuring cup, mix one cup of warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let it stand there for a few minutes to get all foamy.  In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Pour in the warm water and mix. Add the honey and oil. Knead together until combined. If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more flour. Cover the bowl and let rise for about an hour and a half.
