Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -- -- --

2 c Unbleached flour

2 ts Baking powder

1/3 c Butter

2 tb Yeast

3/4 c Warm water

2 tb Maple syrup

Filling:

2 lb Fresh peaches, pitted and -sliced

1/3 c Fresh lemon juice

1/4 c Unbleached flour

1/4 ts Nutmeg

1/4 c Butter

1/4 c Maple syrup

1/4 c Graham cracker crumbs

CRUST:

For the crust, combine flour and baking powder; cut in

butter. Dissolve yeast in warm water and maple syrup.

Let sit for 5 minutes, then stir into flour mixture,

blending well. Turn onto floured board and knead

lightly for 5 minutes, adding flour as necessary. Let

dough rest for 10 minutes. Using a floured rolling

pin, roll out the dough to fit either a cookie sheet

or round 10-inch pizza pan. Transfer dough to oiled

pan. If the dough is too sticky to lift from board to

pan, then, using your hands, pat the dough into the

pan you will use. Pinch up edges 1-inch all the way

around cookie sheet or pizza pan to form rim.

Slice peaches and pour lemon juice on top; set aside.

Cut together flour, nutmeg, butter, maple syrup and graham cracker crumbs. Spread and sprinkle half of it

over the bottom of the pizza dough. Arrange the peach slices on the dough, in layers if necessary. Sprinkle

remaining mixture on top of peaches. Bake at 350

degrees 25-30 minutes. Serve warm or cooled.

Even if you have never worked with yeast before,

you'll find this crust quite easy.
