Pizza Bread

1 Tbs. dry yeast
1-1/2 cups warm water
2 Tbs. sugar
1 tsp. salt
1/4 cup melted buter, margarine, shortening
1 egg, slightly beaten
3-1/2 to 4-1/2 cups flour
toppings/filling:
these can vary, i use a cup or two of cheese and however much meat that you want. It's all good.

Dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the other ingredients in order given, mixing well after each addition. Add enough flour to make a soft dough that can be shaped with tour hands. At this point i kinda treat it like cinnamin rolls. Roll it out flat throw some cheese on and add pepperoni. you can add whatever cheeses, meats, whatever that you want, heck, you don't even have to let rise. Rolll it up put it on  a greased pan.
 Bake for 20 minutes at 400 degrees. brush with butter if desired.
*note this is pretty much the same as the no knead yeast rolls recipe, just how you treat the dough is different, cooking is something you can find great joy in, you aren't compleatly governed by rules and you get to eat it when your done.

1 tsp. sugar
2-3/4 to 3-1/4 cus flour

( I prefer to mix just about every thing by hand, It may take a little bit longer but it still turns out okay) Add enough remaining flour to form a soft doug. Turn onto a floured surface; kneed until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a agreased bowl, turning greased side up. Cover and let rest in warm place for at least 10 minutes.
 Divide dough in half. On a floured surface, roll each portion into a 13 in. circle. transfer to two greased 12 in. pizza pans; build up edges slightly.

Add broth, potatoes, and beef; bring to boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 10 to 12 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.

Meanwhile, in a small skillet, melt remaining butter. Add flour; cook and stir for 3 to 5 minutes, or until bubbly. Add to soup; bring to boil. Cook; stir 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low.
