I can’t imagine using mayo-based recipes again, with how easy and similar the yogurt base works.

The original recipe and pic came from AllRecipes.com. I tend to use the ingredients and pictures mostly for inspiration.   Mine ended up simply as follows.  Try it with a broccoli salad.

Ingredients:

1 cup plain yogurt
1 TBSP white vinegar
1 TBSP apple cider vinegar
1 TBSP dijon mustard
A few shakes of dill, italian seasoning, salt, and pepper

To prepare, just mix until smooth, chill and serve.

My sourdough pizza dough is an attempt at Pizza Hut’s style of deep dish pan pizza, though it can be rolled flatter for New York style pies.  The dry milk was suggested online somewhere and I’ve begun adding to many of my bread recipes.  It provides a crisp outside and porous soft insides.  If you’re really serious about a killer crust, replace the dry Italian seasoning with fresh ground parsley, basil, and fried rosemary.
