Recipes- You have to try these!

Here are 2 recipes that are definitely our family favorites! I make the Cheesy Garlic Flat Bread A LOT! It is so good, you have to try it. It calls for a bread machine, but it can be made without one.

The Rice Crispy Peanut Butter Granola Bars are very good to. They arn't the healthiest things in the world, but at least I control what goes in them.

Here are the Recipes:

Cheesy Garlic Flat Bread
(Sandy (bettyinthekitchen), BBC Exchange)

Bread:
1 1/4 cups warm water
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp sugar
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp active dry yeast
Topping (I never measure the toppings):
tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese


Layer bread ingredients in bread machine pan, select the dough cycle. Prepare a baking stone or sheet - spray with non-stick spray, sprinkle with cornmeal. When dough is finished, remove from pan and stretch into a rectangle, lay on prepared pan. Brush the dough with butter, sprinkle with garlic salt. Top with cheeses. Set in a draft free location to rise for 45 minutes. Meanwhile, place oven rack in lowest rack position; heat oven to 450ºF. Bake 12-15 minutes or until light golden brown.
