6B | WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 30, 2020 | THE CHRONICLE-EXPRESS Just 'dough' it: No-yeast pizza crust Joan Martin CCE-Schuyler County We usually think of pizza as a guilty pleasure — high in fat, salt, and calories. But pizza CAN be good for you — if it is made at home with healthy ingredients. Pizza night is a fun way for kids to learn food preparation skills, and for the fam ily to eat a healthy meal while saving some money. At this moment, every sane parent is thinking, “ Wait a minute. Pizza is made with dough and dough involves yeast, an hour to rise, and a sticky mess to clean up. ” No worries! We have that cov ered ... Here is a recipe for a yeast-free, mess-free pizza dough we make in local SNAP-Ed classes. There is only a ten- minute rest time. Add heartiness (and some fiber) by using up to half whole wheat flour. The trick to keeping the flour in the crust — and not all over the table or kitchen floor — is to mix the dough in a zip-lock bag. If the dough is divided up, each kid can make and top their own mini pizza. Pre-chop toppings for younger kids; older kids can prep their own. No-Yeast Pizza Crust Prep time: 15 minutes Cooking time: 20 minutes Makes: 1 12-inch crust (make two or more for large or very hungry families; use a separate zip-lock bag for each batch) Ingredients: 1 13 cups all-purpose flour, try half whole wheat; 1 teaspoon baking powder; 12 teaspoon salt; 12 cup nonfat or 1% milk; 2 Tablespoons oil Directions: 1. Mix about half the flour with all the baking powder and salt in a gallon-sized zip-lock bag. Add milk and oil. SEAL THE BAG and mix until smooth and well blended. 2. Add remaining flour a little at a time to make a soft dough. Mix until dough pulls away from sides of the bag and forms a ball. Let sit in the bag for 10 minutes. 3. Turn dough onto a clean, lightly floured surface and knead 10 to 20 times. Dough should feel soft but smooth and not sticky. 4. On a lightly greased baking sheet, roll or press dough into a 12-inch circle. 5. Bake crust at 400 degrees F for 8 minutes. 6. Remove from oven and add your choice of sauce and toppings (see be low). 7. Return to oven and bake until light golden brown, 12 to 20 minutes. Serve hot. Sauce: Use jarred pasta sauce Toppings: • Low fat mozzarella (buy it in a block and shred it yourself to save money) or other cheese • Your choice of fresh chopped veg gies and herbs: green peppers, mush rooms, onion, spinach, tomato, zucchi ni, broccoli, cauliflower, basil, oregano.

COMMUNITY Continued from Page 5B mately 1 in 10 Americans aged 60+ have experi enced some form of elder abuse. Some estimates range as high as 5 million elders who are abused each year. Abusers are both women and men. In almost 90 percent of elder abuse and neglect incidents, the perpetrator is a fam ily member. Two thirds of perpetrators are adult children or spouses. There are steps you can take if you suspect some one is being abused. Most importantly — Be Alert! The suffering is often in silence. If you notice changes in an older adult ’ s personality, behavior or finances, you should start to question what is going on. Re member, it is not your role to verify that abuse is occurring, only to alert others of your suspicions. It is best to take any step of action and have it be found that no abuse is happening than to not report it and the risk the chance of the abuse con tinuing.
