Perfect-smooth pie dough

During weekend some guest brought apple pie, with a perfect, soft dough that melted before bitten. I never made this king, my pies have always been the crunchy, biscuit type. So I looked it up and it seems that this recipe might be the... 'melty' type:

I'll make sure to try it!

It's so easy to make, and there are many ways to make it. But once you get it right, you want to repeat the same one; again and again.

Here's my last night's success -everyone like it:

boiled potatoes
very finely diced onion (just a touch)
black olive rings
caper

all following finely chopped:
red roasted peppers (from jar will do)
parsley
pickled cucumber

lemon juice
olive oil

Mix and serve.

Lightening-fast pizza dough (home made, the crunchy, yummy kind)

-updated-
2 wine glasses plain flour
¼ cup strained yogurt
oil (as much as yogurt)
2 tbsp baking powder
1-2 tsp sugar
lukewarm water, 1/4-1/2 cup


Mix everything, knead well on floured surface, for AT LEAST 3 MINUTES (it brings out the moisture and you may need to add a bit more flour - the less flour you put, the softest the dough), leave to set while you prepare the toppings (inside the microwave is a nice spot), roll out on a greased dish, cover with toppings, bake, then ...eat and enjoy. Makes one average pizza. Leave out the extra cheese. It's greasy and heavy on your stomach (and your figure)!

Yummy!
