Gram's Pizza Crust

1 tablespoon yeast (Active Dry)
1 cup warm water (with 1 teaspoon sugar)
1 tablespoon sugar
2-1/2 cups flour
2 tablespoons oil

Put yeast in warm water with a teaspoon of sugar. Let foam on top. Make sure all "little balls" dissolve.

Mix in water mixture into flour and oil.

Let dough relax about 5 minutes.

Roll out dough onto greased pan with hands.

Put empty crust in 350 degree oven for about 5 minutes.

Take out of oven and put on desired toppings. Let in oven at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes or until you like it.

*My Notes:*
-Crust could be made ahead of time and frozen.

Horseradish Deviled Eggs

6 hard cooked eggs
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 to 2 tablespoons horseradish
1/2 teaspoon dill weed
1/4 teaspoon ground mustard
1/8 teaspoon salt
dash pepper
dash paprika

Cut eggs in half. Remove yolks. Mash yolks; add mayonnaise, horseradish, dill, mustard, salt and pepper. Mix well. Spoon into egg whites.

*My Notes:*
-my mom has been making this recipe since I could remember. No other deviled eggs add up to them.
-to make them a little fancy, instead of spooning mixture into egg whites, use a cookie press or pastry decorator.
