My caramel pecan roll. They are always a favorite of our customers, and they know if they get them early in the morning, (we open at 7:00 a.m.) they are fresh baked and STILL WARM!!!!!! YUM!!!! They can be ordered in advance in packages of 6, otherwise there is a limit of 2 on sales day. They are also available as just caramel, without nuts, as well as with cream cheese frosting.

Our FROZEN 1 lb. WHOLE WHEAT DOUGH BALLS are available per order. Have you ever wished you could get a whole wheat pizza crust at a restaurant? It's not possible at the places I have checked. Matter of fact, I was told there wouldn't be a market for it, not many people would be interested in it. So, I make them at home with the healthiest dough around. This dough can be used for pizza crust, calzones, or even rolls of any sort. It's the same dough used in my whole wheat bread.

I used one of the dough balls last night for homemade pizza, veggie, of course. After the dough had thawed and raised briefly I rolled it out on a 9 x 13 stone, (completely covered the stone, since we like fairly thin crust) or you could use a sheet pan. I poked a few holes in the dough with a fork to prevent bubbles happening during baking. I baked the crust at 405 degrees for 10 minutes, then added pizza sauce and toppings. I baked it another 20 minutes until the edges were browned and the cheese nicely melted.

The whole wheat crust makes such a difference. It filled us up so much we ate less of it than when we eat commercial pizza. We had plenty left over for lunch today. Plus, I was very pleased with my blood sugar numbers this morning, which were actually a bit too low for me. Other pizzas, with white flour crusts, impact my glucose numbers greatly in the higher range. This didn't happen this morning and I give the credit to the whole grain crust. I always tell our customers that my breads are "diabetic friendly" that they are a complex carb and are metabolized slower and are more filling and satisfying. It proves to me again, that all white flour things you eat, are so bad for us, whether you are diabetic or not, but especially so if you are.
