Protein Chocolate Chip & Blueberry Bagels

These are soooooo good! My kids ask me to make these ALL the time. Esp my picky eater, she loves them!! Def can add whatever you want to them, or as toppings. I love mine with either plain or strawberry cream cheese. Yum! I know what I am making this week! No judging, our microwave broke and we decided to order new appliances, these were just old and needed to go, had them for 8 years. I LOVE our new appliances!  Funny story content: I was making mini corndogs and the stupid muffins would not stop crumbling! I was pissed and kinda sorta hit the pan on the side of our counter until it dented! oops.  My son, the one speaking, loves throwing that in my face. 😀  You Will Need: 2 Cups Flour 1 tsp Salt 2 tsp Baking Powder 1 tsp Cinnamon 1 Cup Greek Whole Milk Vanilla Yogurt 2 tbsp Honey  Chocolate Chips/Blueberries (I used frozen wild ones, thawed) Melted Butter, brushed on top before cooking. Cook 400 degrees for 10-15 mins or until golden brown. 

Pizza Bar

It has taken me a very long time to create the PERFECT pizza dough recipe. We had some of our closest friends over, and I decided for dinner we would do a pizza bar with their 3 kiddos, my 2 kiddos, and us 4 adults. Two of my pizza crust recipes fed us all with lots of leftovers. The kids 100% loved making their own pizza, one of the kiddos wanted a heart shape pizza, the others just loved "playing" with the crust. It was such an amazing experience with them. I love teaching young kids new things and including them in the kitchen. I believe it's important for their growth. Anyhow, when I made my dough recipe, our friends said the crust was the best crust, fluffiest crust, they'd ever had. Asked for the recipe. This will not fail, and will turn out amazing. I found a way to cut my time needed in half, by using my bread machine my hubby and kids got me for Christmas. 
You will Need: 
5 Cups Bread Flour (or All Purpose)
2 Cups Warm Water
1 tbsp Yeast
4 tbsp Honey
1 tsp Salt
2 tbsp Olive Oil
Here is the bread machine I am using, it has been a life-saver, but I learned my lesson. I started this dough 3 hours before I needed it, and the dough went all out the machine and rose everywhere! Oops.. I suggest starting the dough 1.5 hours before needing it.
