Carnitas Empanadas

Greek Pita Bread

This delicious bread isn’t just for gyros. It’s amazing dipped in soups or chilis! You can choose to proof the dough a second time, but I ran out of time before class started. Whoops! They still turned out marvelously delicious and fluffy. They cook up in about 2 minutes, so make sure not to walkContinue reading “Greek Pita Bread”

Beef Taco Pizza

I love Taco Pizza! You can substitute the refried beans for enchilada sauce, but I prefer the creaminess of the beans. It’s by far one of my favorite pizzas! Preheating the pizza stone is key for a crispy crust that’s fluffy on the inside. Be sure to sprinkle corn meal to keep it from stickingContinue reading “Beef Taco Pizza”
