Steps:

• Add 1 cup of warm water and the sugar in a measuring cup, stir to dissolve.
• Add in the packet of yeast and stir to dissolve. Allow to activate for about 10-15 minutes. It will foam and increase in size so allow for growing space in your measuring cup.
• On a clean surface, make a mound with the flour and sprinkle with the salt. Form a well in the center of the mound.
• Drizzle the olive oil into the well and carefully pour in the activated yeast.
• Slowly work the flour into the liquid with your hands.
• Begin to knead the dough, adding a little bit of water as you go {up to 1/2 cup of warm water}.
• Knead the dough until it is well combined, elastic and slightly shiny; about 5 minutes. Flour lightly as needed to prevent sticking to the work surface.
• Form the dough into a ball and place into a large bowl. Cover with a kitchen towel and allow it to rise in a warm place.
• Allow to rise for 2-3 hours. It should more then double in size.
• Preheat over to 450 degrees. If you have a pizza stone, preheat the oven with the stone in there.
• Roll the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Using a rolling pin, form a large rectangle about 1/2 an inch thick {approx 18 inches long by 10 inches wide}.
• Layer the shredded mozzarella on top, leaving an inch border around the edge clear. Top with the remaining filling ingredients distributing evenly over the cheese.
• Starting with the long edge, begin the roll the bread up. After a roll or two, go ahead and fold the short side over slightly {this seals the ends of the bread}.
• Continue to roll the long side of the dough until you reach the end. Cut a few slits in the top of the bread to allow steam to escape.
• If using a pizza stone, place the bread onto a lightly floured pizza peel seam side down then carefully onto the hot stone. If not using a stone then place the bread seam side down onto a parchment lined baking sheet.
• Bake for 25- 30 minutes until golden. Rotate the bread around halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning.
• Allow the bread to rest about 10 minutes before slicing.

Steps:

• In a large bowl with enough lightly salted water to cover, place the cauliflower, pearl onions, red bell peppers, green bell peppers, celery and cucumbers. Soak 8 to 12 hours, or overnight.
• In a small bowl with enough lightly salted water to cover, place the carrots. Soak 8 to 12 hours, or overnight.
• In a large saucepan, place the vegetable oil, vinegar, tomato paste and pickling spice. Bring the mixture to a boil. Drain and rinse the carrots, and place them in the mixture. Boil 10 minutes.
• Drain and rinse the vegetables in the cauliflower mixture. Place them into the saucepan. Cook 10 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender but crisp.
• Stir black olives, green olives, mushrooms and tuna into the mixture. Remove the mixture from heat. Discard the wrapped pickling spice. While still hot, transfer to sterile containers and refrigerate.

Steps:

• Mix first 5 ingredients in large pot. Boil 5 minutes.
• Add next 4 ingredients, boil 10 minutes.
• Add balance of ingredients. Try not to break up shrimp and tuna too much. Bring to just boiling.
• Process in a hot water bath for 15 minutes.
• Note: *Drain everything except olives and pickled onion juice. Biffy and Frank's flub (taste great.) Omit vinegar.
• Optional - small amount of brown sugar, HP sauce, chopped garlic, hot pepper sauce (dried or fresh) WE NEVER USE THESE.
• Something sure has changed with Recipe Zaar! When trying to put the ingredients in it was a big pain in the butt for the sizes. I've converted the grams to ounces but I didn't have everything in my cupboard to actually look at so I guessed. But most cans come pretty standard, and the "Frozen Shrimp" is a large bag -- it wouldn't let me put just "large.".
