Add sauce and toppings. Bake at 425 for 15 min. I have also included a pizza sauce recipe (in Main dishes).

Dinner Rolls

1 pkg yeast

3 eggs
½ C. sugar
½ tsp salt

melted butter

Dissolve yeast in ¼ C. warm water. In a separate bowl beat eggs. Add sugar, salt, ½ C. melted butter. Add yeast and an additional 1 C. water. Add 4 ½ C. flour. Mix well and let raise until it doubles. Fix into rolls, bread, sweet rolls etc… The way we do rolls is pinch off a small amount. Roll in butter, then place seam down on pan. Or pinch off 3 smaller pieces, roll in butter and put into a muffin tin. Once the rolls or bread have been fixed, let raise, until double (about 2-3 hours). Bake at 375 for 10 min, or until golden brown. Brush melted butter on top. For Sweet rolls add ¼-1/2 C. extra sugar.

Biscuits

I found this recipe in an old ward cookbook of my Mom's. I thought they were great.

3 C. flour
4 1/2 tsp. baking powder
3 T. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
3/4 tsp cream of tartar
3/4 C. margarine, room temp.
1 egg, beaten
1 C. milk

Combine dry ingr. Cut margarine in. Separately beat together egg and milk. Add egg and milk. Mix well. You may need to add more flour until dough is not sticky. Roll out to 1/2 inch thickness and cut into biscuits. Bake at 450 degrees for 12-15 minutes. Bake on highest rack. Makes 24. For my family of 4/5 I would probably half this recipe.
