1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast

3/4 cup warm water (105°F to 115°F)

2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

1/4 cup (1 ounce) shredded Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper

1 green onion with top, sliced

1 medium clove garlic, minced

1/2 teaspoon dried basil leaves

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves I left out

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

1 tablespoon olive oil

 

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Spray 2 large nonstick baking sheets with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.

Sprinkle yeast over warm water in small bowl; stir until yeast dissolves.

Let stand 5 minutes or until bubbly.

Meanwhile, place all remaining ingredients except oil in food processor; process

a few seconds to combine.

With food processor running, gradually add yeast mixture and oil. Process just

until mixture forms a ball.

(Add an additional 2 tablespoons flour if dough is too sticky.)

Transfer dough to lightly floured surface; knead 1 minute.

Let dough rest 5 minutes.

Roll out dough with lightly floured rolling pin to form 14X8-inch rectangle; cut

dough crosswise into 1/2-inch-wide strips.

Twist dough strips; place on prepared baking sheets.

Bake 14 to 16 minutes or until lightly browned.

Makes 14 servings.
