Best Ever Pizza Dough

4 cups flour ( I use bread flour but you can use All Purpose flour) 1 1/2 cup warm water (108-110 degrees) 1/3 cup olive oil  1 envelope Active Dry Yeast 1 Tablespoon sugar  1 teaspoon salt  Put yeast and a Tablespoon of sugar into water and let sit about 5 minutes while you prepare the flour mixture  Mix flour and salt in stand mixer.  Add olive oil and mix until incorporated.   Add water and yeast mixture  Mix until incorporated  Torn out onto counter and shape int a smooth ball.  Place in a large mixing bowl that has been oiled.   Cover and let sit in a warm place until double in size  Cut the dough in half and shape each half into a flat round disc.   Place each disc into a plastic storage bag that has been sprayed with Pam.   I usually put one in the refrigerator and use within 3 days and the other goes into the freezer for later.  

Chicken Enchiladas

When you don't feel like cooking, make this easy dish.   I'm not really sure you can call it a "recipe", its more of a "this is how I make it" kind of thing.  Even so, it gets rave reviews! Flour tortillas 4 cups Mexican blend shredded cheese 2 cans of Green Chili Enchilada Sauce 2 boneless, skinless chicken breast cooked and shredded Roll chicken and a little cheese up in the tortillas and place side by side in a 13x9 baking dish.  Pour Green Chili Enchilada Sauce over.  Top with remaining shredded cheese.  Bake at 350 for 20 min. or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
