homemade pizza and homemade granola

I had a weekend of baking and I didn't even get to two of the things I wanted to make. It's probably a good thing: money-wise.

First, I made "stone" Margherita pizza. I had it at my friends, Chelsey & Zach's and it honestly is the best pizza I've ever had. Plus you get to choose your own ingredients, monitor the salt & fat content, yada yada... it's awesome! If you own a stone, use it!
Here's what you need:

-italian pizza dough by Publix. It's over in the bakery section kept in a mini-fridge. It gives you enough to make 2 thin crust or one hearty, thick crust pizza. It's flippin' delicious dough.
-one can of Dei Fratelli organic pizza sauce: so yummy and fat free
-fresh basil or gourmet garden basil spread (it's got a little olive oil & is pesto-like in consistency)
-fresh mozzarella cheese and shredded mozzarella cheese. The fresh really makes an incredible difference. It's worth the few extra bucks.
-oregano, garlic pepper & sea salt
-light italian olive oil to brush on to crust

Bake at 390 for 20-30 minutes

Homemade Granola:

-4 cups old-fashioned oats
-1 cup flaked coconut
-1/2 cup wheat germ
-2 tbsp flax seed
-1/2 cup sliced almonds
-1 &1/2 tsp salt
-1 & 1/2 tsp cinnamon
-1/2 cup vegetable oil
-1/4 cup brown sugar
-1/3 cup honey
-1/3 cup water
-1 tbsp vanilla extract
-1/2 cup golden raisins, dried cranberries &/or chopped dried fruit
In a large bowl, combine the first 7 ingredients; mix well. In a saucepan, cook oil, brown sugar, honey, water and vanilla until sugar is dissolved. Pour over dry ingredients and mix well. Spoon to a greased 13in. x 9in. x 2in. baking pan. Bake at 275 degrees for 1 hour or until golden, stirring every 15 minutes. Cool completely. Stir in dried fruit.
