Cookstove!
This is my first bread with the cookstove and it is perfect! I made the white bread recipe (you can see it on my channel on youtube - look up 'Connecticut Country Store' or goto our website http://www.connecticutcountrystore.com/ or goto the bottom of this blog) using King Arthur flour with about 4 tbsp of dried rosemary. So far we've made fried eggs, chicken, corn muffins, pancakes, pasta, and now bread on the cookstove AND the house is around 70 degrees all the time! I love this thing!

Cookstove adventures
John and I kept the house at 60 degrees in the winter to save money on oil for our first few years in the house. Last year we got a woodstove for the basement which helped us save money and keep it at 62-65 degrees. This year we put a cookstove in the living room. The house was 76 degrees last night, we had to open a window to cool it back down! It was like a summer night! We definately have to get used to this new heating tool, it is too efficient! We also have cooked dinner, fried eggs, heated water, and last night John made cornbread muffins in the oven while we watched a redbox movie! Tomorrow I'm going to attempt a white bread (you can get the recipe on youtube, search "Connecticut Country Store" or you can find links on this blog or the website http://www.connecticutcountrystore.com/!)

Easy delicious pizza dough recipe
I have no idea where I picked up this recipe, so excuse me if I'm copying!
This makes dough for 4 personal sized pizzas. We love to make these with the nieces and nephews. It is SO easy and FUN!
Ingredients:
3 cups flour
1 pkg dry yeast (2.25 tsp)
2 Tblsp veg oil
1 tsp salt
1 cup of warm water
a handful of cornmeal is optional
Mix it all together putting in the oil and water last.
Split the dough into 4 parts and hand them out. everyone can flatten any way they choose, we hold it on one end and spin it around but that can be messy for young folks. I have silpat non stick cookie mats I use and they are GREAT. If you don't have these spread cornmeal under your pizza dough so it doesn't stick.
Cover with whatever ingredients you like - anywhere from cheese and sauce to cinnamon and sugar!
bake at 375 for 20-25 minutes or until browned
