Make Your Own Self Rising Flour

I make my own baking powder too! Here is the link to that recipe:

Don't go out and buy a bag of self rising flour! Save the money! You already have the 3 ingredients to make it in your own pantry.  I make mine fresh to order as I need it in my baking.

Just print this recipe off and tape it to your flour canister or to the inside of your cupboard. You'll be glad you did!

Self Rising Flour
Makes 1 cup

Ingredients:
1 cup regular flour
1 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt.

Mix together. Makes 1 cup of self rising flour.

Jan's Tip:
You will probably find the recipe you are making already calls for baking powder and salt. Make sure to measure them out separately . First for the self rising flour and then the second time for the additional ingredients called for in the recipe.

2 Ingredient Pizza Dough

No yeast, 2 ingredient pizza dough that can be made and baked right away? I was skeptical till I tried it! It was easy AND tasty!

I saw this recipe from www.kidspot.com.au and had to give it a try. I usually make my own Bread Machine Garlic Bread Pizza Dough but sometimes on a busy day I forget to get the dough started in time. So when I saw this no yeast "instant" dough recipe I had to give it a try.

We found it to be very good! It was crispy with a great taste. The original post doesn't give baking directions so I am using my own. We found it best to pre-bake the crust for 5-7 minutes and then put the toppings on and finish baking it. You will get a much crispier crust this way. It made enough for a 12 inch pizza and so double it if you want more.

2 Ingredient Pizza Dough
Makes  enough for 1 12 inch pizza

Ingredients:

1 cup plain greek yogurt (not vanilla)
1 cup self rising flour
 (You can make your own by adding 1 1/4 tsp baking powder + 1/4 tsp. salt to 1 cup flour)
A little extra flour for dusting your work surface and rolling pin





Directions:
Pre heat oven: 425 degrees
In a bowl combine the flour and yogurt, and mix to form a ball. If you find it too wet and sticky you can add more flour,

Jan's Tip:   I actually found it a little crumbly, but as soon as I poured it all out onto my counter and started kneading it, it formed into a perfect dough ball. Soft and pliable. The more I kneaded it the better it got. It was lovely to work with!

1. Turn out dough onto a floured surface and knead the dough for 3-4 minutes.
2. Roll dough into desired size with a rolling pin.
3. Place onto a pizza pan or stone and gently prick the dough with a fork in several spots to prevent it from bubbling up. 
4.  Prebake pizza dough for 5-7 minutes
5. Pull dough from oven, and put all your favorite sauce and toppings onto the dough.
6. Return pizza to oven and bake an additional 10-12 minutes or until hot, melty, bubbly, and just perfect for you!
