When I lived in Hawaii the nearest pizza joint was a half hour drive, the second nearest was 45 minutes. Out of necessity I learned to make it myself. I would frequently make it for guests and it's still a family favorite today, particularly the BBQ Chicken variety. Per Crust: Mix: 2 ½ - 3 c. all-purpose flour 1 tsp. salt Develop yeast and then add to flour: 1 c. warm water 1 packet or scant Tbsp. active dry yeast (or instant, your choice) 1 Tbsp. sugar Add to flour w/yeast: 2 - 4 Tbsp. olive oil Knead dough adding just enough extra flour to have a tacky, but not sticky dough. (A little bit sticky in feel, but does not stick on your hand.) Oil the dough and let rise until double. At this point, any of the dough that will not be used right away can be frozen for future use, or par-baked in a 500F degree oven for 6 minutes, wrapped in plastic and then frozen.

From: Steve Raichlen’s BBQ USA Take 2 cups packed brown sugar, 1/2 cup kosher salt and 1/4 cup freshly ground pepper. Dry rub your baby back ribs with it.  We rubbed 3 racks. Let ribs "cure" in the refrigerator for 4 hours. Use a damp paper towel to remove excess rub. Grill over indirect heat for 1 1/2 hours. Serve with BBQ sauce. First, for me personally, next time I will use about half of the pepper. Second, the cured ribs by themselves are good. Slathered with sauce they are out of this world. I am not much of a meat eater, but if you are going to indulge, you may as well do it right!!

She calls for 1 cup of chocolate chunks. I used chips and added an extra 1/2 cup, because more chocolate = more better!!
