This is one of Alan's favorite things I make. I got the recipe from one of my favorite sites OurBestBites.com They have some of the best recipes, this is one of my favs.
Pizza Dough (this can also be used to make breadstick, which was best bites original intent)
Pizza Dough
1 1/2 c. warm (105-115 degrees) water
1 Tbsp. sugar
1 Tbsp. yeast
1/2 tsp. salt
3-4 1/2 c. flour
In a large bowl (the bowl of your mixer, if you have one), combine water, sugar, and yeast. Let stand for 10 minutes or until yeast is bubbly.
Add salt and stir. Add 1 1/2 c. flour and mix well. Gradually add more flour (usually between 3-4 cups, depending on your elevation and your humidity) until dough starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl and it barely sticks to your finger.
Spray a glass or metal bowl with cooking spray and place dough in the bowl.
Cover and allow to rise for 45 minutes or until doubled in bulk.
Remove from bowl and place on a lightly-floured surface. Roll out your pizza dough in a circle or rectangle depending on your pan.
Cover pan and allow dough to rise for another 15 minutes. Preheat your oven to 350.
Bake just the crust brushed with olive oil for 7-10 minutes. Remove crust cover with all of your goodies and place back in a 400 degree oven for 15-20 minutes. Enjoy!

Banana Bread
As of this moment my house is filling with the wonderful scent of baking banana bread. I found this recipe here
Banana Bread
INGREDIENTS
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt (Again, I used salted butter so I did not add this to my recipe)
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs, beaten
2 1/3 cups mashed overripe bananas (I used 3 large bananas, use what you have on hand, the more bananas the more bananay it will taste)
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl, cream together butter and brown sugar. Stir in eggs and mashed bananas until well blended. Stir banana mixture into flour mixture; stir just to moisten. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan.
Bake in preheated oven for 60 to 65 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of the loaf comes out clean. Let bread cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack.
