Title: DESSERT PIZZA SHELLS
Categories: Crusts
Yield: 1 servings

1/2 oz Active dry yeast
2 tb Nonfat dry milk powder
1 c Very warm (120-125’F) water
1 tb Sugar or honey
1/2 c Apple juice
1 ts Salt
5 c Flour
1/2 c Lukewarm water (or more)

Dissolve the yeast and the skim milk powder in the water. Add the
sugar or honey and stir well to dissolve. Let this sit for about 10
minutes. Add the apple juice and combine well.

Put all of the flour in a large mixing bowl. Add the salt and
combine. Add the liquid mixture to the flour along with enough
additional water to make a soft but not sticky dough. Knead the dough
for 4 minutes if using a stand mixer; 8 minutes if kneading by hand.

Divide the dough into balls of about 4 ounces each, put them on a
floured sheet pan, cover the pan and allow to rise for 1 1/2 to 2
hours, until doubled in bulk (or let rise, covered well, in the
refrigerator overnight).

Thickness: To make a dessert pizza shell, the dough should be rolled
thicker than that for a thin-crust pizza because it will be holding
more weight. Go with a dough shell that is at least 1/8-inch thick.

Forming: Pull up the sides to form a crust cuff or a well to hold the
dessert toppings. The pizza shell should like like a pie or tart
shell.

Size: A four- or five-inch diameter pizza seems to be the best size,
because it can be served as an individual dessert or as one for two
people to share.

Preparation: The best way to go from this point is to dock the crust
and bake it completely. This baked crust will then be ready to take
various toppings. In a few situations you might want to only par-bake
the crust — when doing a baked apple pizza, for example.

Toppings:
Cheeses: For the sake of simplicity and good taste, cheeses can be
narrowed down to three: ricotta, mascarpone and cream cheese.
Fruits: Just about any fruit will work. Using fresh fruit will
control the moisture.
Nuts: Walnuts, pecans, almonds, and pine nuts are favorites.
Miscellaneous: Spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves work well.
Crushed or ground amaretto cookies make a great topping over cheese
and fruit. Chocolate chips, raisins and zest of oranges, lemons or
limes can be used most effectively to pump up the flavor. A dusting of
confectioners’ sugar looks good and goes a long way in the taste
department. Brushing or layering fruit preserves or a fruit glaze on
the crust before toppings go on adds a lot of flavor and offers a
wide range of taste possibilities.

Title: Saddle of Rabbit with Leeks and Rosemary
Categories: Game, Masterchefs, Frisco, Lec
Yield: 2 servings

————————MARINADE, RABBIT, AND SAUCE————————
3 lb Rabbit, use only the 2 tb Butter
— saddle section ** 1 1/3 c Wine, white
1 sm Carrot 1 c Stock, rabbit OR
1/2 md Onion 1 c Bouillon, chicken
1 ea Celery, stalk 1 md Tomato, sliced
1 ea Garlic, clove, crushed Salt (to taste)
2 ea Rosemary, fresh, sprigs Pepper (to taste)
1 tb Oil, olive

———————————–LEEKS———————————–
2 md Leeks Salt (to taste)
1 tb Butter

** The “saddle of a rabbit” is the rabbit’s back from the first rib
to the beginning of the legs.

Marinade:
=========

Put the saddle of the rabbit in a small bowl with 1 cup of white wine
and 1 sprig of rosemary. Chop the carrot, onion, celery, and garlic add
them to the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and store in the
refrigerator for 24 – 48 hours. (The longer the better for the flavor of
the rabbit meat.)

Rabbit:
=======

Preheat your oven to 450 F.

Remove the rabbit from the marinade and dry with a cloth. Salt and
pepper the rabbit.

In a medium roasting pan, add 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon
of olive oil. Heat the mixture until the butter sizzles.

Place the rabbit in the pan, skin side up, and brown. Turn, wrapping
flaps around the filet to protect it, and cook until light brown. Place
the pan in the 450 F oven and cook for 10 minutes, until medium rare.
Baste often.

Add the vegetables from the marinade to the pan with the rabbit and
cook for another 5 minutes, basting and turning occasionally.

Remove the rabbit from the pan and place it aside in a warm location.
Trim the saddle flaps from the rabbit and chop the flaps coarsely.

Sauce:
======

Return the chopped flaps to the pan with the vegetables. On the stove
top, saute briefly and skim the fat.

Deglaze the pan with 1/2 cup of wine, add the rabbit stock and reduce
by one-half.

Add the tomato and saute while stirring. Strain the hot mixture
through a sieve, reserving the liquid (for sauce) and discarding the
vegetables. Add the butter to the liquid and whisk until smooth.

Leeks:
======

Julienne the leeks. Rinse in cold water and drain well.

In a medium saute pan, add 1 tablespoon butter and leeks. Cook slowly
for 2 – 5 minutes. Leeks should remain crisp. Adjust the seasonings and
set the leeks aside in a warm place.

Assembly:
=========

Remove the filet of rabbit from the saddle. Cut the saddle bone
crosswise and place one section on each of two plates. Surround the
saddle bones with leeks.

Cut the filet of rabbit into very thin slices lengthwise. Fan slices
on top of the leeks.

Cover with sauce, garnish with sprigs of rosemary. Serve immediately.
