Making Dough

In our ongoing attempts to be frugal (we've cut our grocery budget almost in half), I spent an hour today making pizza dough.  After making 12 full-size pies, I'm pretty good at tossing them in the air without punching a hole in them on the way down.

Also on the plate are freezer cinnamon rolls.  Put some out the night before and in the morning they are ready to bake.  This should limit trips to the donut shop. 

I'm intrigued about the bread making process.  My grandpa used to own a bakery in the days where you bought your bread fresh and not from Wal-Mart.  Almost every culture has a type of bread as a staple.  

The process is very relaxing for me.  Hard work, focused thought, and you can eat it when you're done.  What's not to like?
