Cheap Recipes
| Cheap Recipes My absolute favorite "recipe" is Fried Dough - more like a calzone, and you simply add whatever fillers you want. We recently tried Canadian Bacon, Mozzerella cheese, and eggs...it was DELICIOUS! Some of our other favorites are, of course, pizza, BBQ chicken, and rice with peas and chicken. The basic dough recipe came from a bread machine recipe book, but I don't use the bread machine to mix it anymore. Dough Recipe: 3/4 cup warm water 1 tsp. yeast ($1.06 per 3 pouch packet - each pouch yields 2 tsp.) 1 TBSP oil (we use the fat free butter spray rather than oil - $1.67 per bottle) 1 tsp. sugar ($4.98 per 10 pound bag) 1 tsp. salt ($.33 per box) 2 cups bread flour ($2.24 per 5 lb. bag) Mix ingredients. Roll the dough out to the thickness desired. (This recipe makes more than enough for a family of 3 to have a medium to large calzone each). Stuff with desired contents. Calzone can be fried (we use an electric skillet) or baked in the oven at 425 degrees for 10-15 minutes. The cost to make the dough is not much. Depending on the contents you use to stuff the calzone, this could be a cheap dinner for your family! Labels: calzone, cheap recipe, dough |
