Cheryl's Corner Recipe and Photo



½ cup mashed potatoes or flakes
3/4 cup water
2 tbsp. Olive oil
1 tbsp. sugar
1/2tsp salt
2 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp. Yeast
3/4 mozzarella cheese, shredded
2 tbsp. Parmesan cheese, shredded

Onion Topping:

1 cup Black olives  
3 tbsp. butter
2 medium onions
2 cloves garlic minced

oregano *optional

Place all ingredients, except cheeses and onion topping, in your bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer.

When dough is finished, grease a pizza pan or cookie sheet.

Pat dough into a 12 inch circle on pan ~ this may take a while as it likes to shrink back up but keep working at it and you will get it patted out. Cover and let rise in warm place for about 30 minutes or until almost double.

While the dough is rising, prepare the onion topping. Melt butter in skillet over medium-low heat. Cook onions and garlic in butter 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally until onions are brown and caramelized.



When dough has risen, heat oven to 400º. Make deep depressions in dough at 1 inch intervals stick black olives in the dough. Spread topping over dough. Sprinkle with cheeses.

Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until edge is golden brown.

Cut into wedges and serve warm.
