Kneadless Pizza Dough
Makes 2 crusts--size depends on thickness of crust
1 cup warm water
2 teaspoons honey
2 teaspoons yeast
2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
In a measuring cup, add yeast, warm water and 1 teaspoon of the honey. Mix well and let sit for 5 minutes.
In the meantime, in a food processor bowl, add flour, oil, salt and remaining honey. Pulse to blend. Now keep the food processor running, and slowly add the yeasty water through the feed tube. Let the machine run for about a minute (this is the fake kneading part). Dough should be smooth when it's done, if not, add more flour or more water depending. Now let that dough rest about 5 minutes. You'd need a good 5 minute rest too, if you were violently spinning around a food processor for a minute.
Divide the dough in half and roll out and use according to your recipe.

How to Make Roasted Garlic
1 head garlic
1 teaspoon olive oil
Slice off the tip top of the garlic head to expose garlic. Don't slice too much off! Remove any excess, papery peel.
Sit the garlic on its root end in a casserole dish. Drizzle olive oil on the top. Cover with a lid.
Bake about an hour at 375 degrees. The heavenly scent of roasted garlic will waft all over the house. Let cool.
When you want to use it, pick it up and squeeze the soft, buttery contents out into whatever you're making--pizza sauce, garlic bread, mashed potatoes, whatever. Not good with chocolate.
