This recipe dates back to the early 1970’s when my next door neighbor, Karen, introduced us to this at a gathering of our families. She and her husband operated a pizza franchise, and I occasionally helped them out by filling in for kitchen help that couldn’t make it in to work. The funniest story from that time involved a 25 pound bag of flour in the bowl of an unplugged commercial dough maker, and the speed switch which had inadvertently left on high. The room and I were quickly coated in a thick coat of fine white powder!
