• Add about 1 1/2-2 cups flour, mix well.
• Pour onto a floured board, add remaining flour as needed, knead for about 5 minutes (this dough is really soft).
• Cover with the mixing bowl.
• Let rise about 20-30 minutes or until doubled in bulk.
• Punch dough down, knead on lightly floured board, set aside.

• Place the dough in pan, roll out in pan.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Spoon and spread the dough with the sauce.
• Sprinkle with the herbs and seasonings.
• Decorate with the artichokes, olives, onions, black olives,.
• and sundried tomatoes.
• Sprinkle with the cheese.
• Cook until bottom in golden, spray crust with the cooking spray, broil for about 1 minute to melt cheese and make it bubbly.
• Let stand 2 minutes, cut and enjoy.
• FYI, you can also make this pizza with some chopped, drained and defrosted spinach instead of the artichoke hearts and it is just as fantabulous.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425* F. Stretch dough over a 12-inch greased pizza pan. Brush with olive oil and scatter garlic slices evenly over crust. Place in oven and bake for about 10 minutes or until just starting to turn golden brown.
• Meanwhile, place sun-dried tomatoes in a heat-resistant, non-reactive bowl (such as Pyrex). Pour enough simmering water over to completely cover tomatoes. Let soak about 5-10 minutes or until tender; drain liquid and slice into strips.
• When crust is ready, spread sauce over garlic slices (try not to shift them around any more than can be helped). Top with about 1 1/2 cups mozzarella, or to taste. Scatter strips of sun-dried tomatoes evenly over cheese. Place artichoke heart quarters evenly across pizza, then top with remaining mozzarella and the parmesan, if using.
• Return to oven and bake at 425* F for about 8-10 minutes, or until cheese is melted, bubbly, and turning golden brown in spots.
• Remove from oven and allow to rest 3-4 minutes to set up. Cut into slices.
• Top pizza slices with dollops of pesto and serve.

Steps:

• Season both sides of chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place chicken in skillet; cook, turning once to brown each side. Remove chicken from pan, and set aside.
• Pour tomatoes into pan; cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, and incorporating any brown bits from bottom of pan. Stir in pesto and artichokes, and return chicken to pan. Cover, and reduce heat to medium. Simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring it to a rolling boil.
• While the water is heating, melt the butter over medium heat in a large saucepan. Add the onions, mushrooms, and garlic; cook and stir until tender, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes, olives, artichoke hearts, wine, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil; reduce the heat and simmer until liquid is reduced by a third, about 4 minutes.
• Cook the fresh pasta in boiling water until done, about 2 minutes. Drain.
• Toss pasta with sauce. Top with fresh tomatoes and cheese, add pepper to taste, and serve.
