Notes: *Marie Peelen copied this from a Bridgford cookbook. COMMENTS: Lorna Brown says she's been doing this for years. She simply pushes thawed dough onto a greased sheet cake pan, lets it rest a few minutes, then stretches it again to fit the pan. She makes dents with her knuckles and either presses fresh herbs into those dents before spreading 2 tablespoons olive oil over the dough; or spreads the oil first, then sprinkles on dried or granulated herbs of choice. She tops it off with salt and bakes it at 350 degrees until golden. **Generally 1 tsp dried herb may be substituted for each tbs (3 tsp) of fresh. Bridgford makes bread dough. They are located in Anaheim Calif.
