In a 2-cup liquid measure, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let stand until foamy, about 3 to 5 minutes. Insert metal blade in work bowl and add flour, olive oil and salt. Add cold water to yeast mixture.

With machine running, pour liquid through small feed tube as fast as flour absorbs it. Process until dough cleans sides of work bowl and forms a ball. Then process for 30 seconds to knead dough. Dough may be slightly sticky. Coat the dough lightly with olive oil, place in a plastic food storage bag and seal the top. Let rise in a warm place for about 45 minutes.

Place dough on a lightly floured surface and punch down. Roll into desired crust size(s) and follow pizza recipe.

Makes 1 loaf (14 slices)

Cooking spray

1-1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour

1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup pecan halves, shells removed

3strips orange zest, bitter white pith removed

2/3 cup sugar

1 large egg

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Process orange zest and sugar until zest is finely chopped, about 45 seconds. Add apple, egg and vanilla; process until combined, about 15 to 20 seconds. With machine running, add butter and buttermilk through the small feed tube. Process until combined, about 10 to 15 seconds. Scrape the work bowl. Add cranberries, pecans and dry ingredients.
