If the mixture is too dry, increase the amount of water one teaspoon at a time until a pliable dough has formed. On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough until elastic. Cut dough into two separate balls. Cover the balls with a damp cloth for a minimum of 10 minutes. Cut each ball into four equal pieces. Roll the pieces into 10 1/2x10 1/2 inch squares. Cut the squares into 3 1/2x3 1/2 inch squares. Use in any recipe that calls for wonton wrappers. Amount Per Serving  Calories: 41 | Total Fat: 0.3g | Cholesterol: 9mg

The reviewer gave this recipe 3 stars. This recipe averages a 4.1 star rating. Reviewed on Nov. 9, 2007 by HHOAL   view full review A few things, this recipe yields far more than 5 servings, as I ended up having to go to a second casserole dish. Also, do not cover it as the juices won't evaporate and therefore it will be really watery when you get ready to serve it. Also, this isn't really ideal for a vegetarian as it is really difficult to call a serving of this a meal, it's more of a side dish. With that being said, it was simple to make, and was tastey. I just needed to bake it again without it being covered so that I could get rid of some juices. It really did taste great. In the future if I make it I'll make it with rice on the bottom.

The reviewer gave this recipe 5 stars. This recipe averages a 4.5 star rating. Reviewed on Jun. 8, 2007 by Donnie   view full review This pizza sauce, with just a few minor tweaks, was AMAZING on my pizza! I used a couple of the suggestions made my another reviewer of this recipe (CINDY18LOU). I only used 2 teaspoons of oregano, and I added 2 teaspoons of basil and 1/2 teaspoon of white sugar. And with those tweaks, I made a Chicago-style stuffed pizza that was absolutely amazing! You can go to my page to read my reviews of those other two recipes and what I did to make them. I used the "Jay's Signature Pizza Crust" and "Chicago-style stuffed pizza" recipes (with minor tweaks to the latter) to make an amazing pizza! Highly recommended! Also, this sauce makes an amazing spaghetti sauce!! And with the 2nd batch, for spaghetti only, I added about 1/2 teaspoon of fennel, which added another very yummy taste to the mix! Next time, I'm going to mix in some ground beef for what I'm sure will be a stellar meat sauce! Was this review helpful? [ YES ]

This recipe averages a 4.5 star rating. Reviewed on Nov. 3, 2007 by SimpleFoods   view full review About reducing the acid in this recipe, a digestive concern from an earlier reviewer: Sugar was recommended by another reviewer, but it is actually acidic. It cuts the acidic taste, but not the effect in your belly. (The cheese on the pizza, and the white flour in the crust also push the digestive acid levels up.) Instead (or in addition), add baking soda. Really. Remember those baking soda and vinegar "volcanoes" in Middle School? That should remind you of what you need in order to neutralize the acid. With all the strong flavors in this sauce, my guess is 1 tsp will go without notice. Add more, if you want. You could probably sneak some into a homemade crust, too. If heartburn is a frequent problem for you, do a search on "alkaline diet" for more tips. Was this review helpful? [ YES ]

The reviewer gave this recipe 5 stars. This recipe averages a 4.2 star rating. Reviewed on Mar. 3, 2010 by AndrewP   view full review I thought that this was a relatively easy meal to cook considering how delicious and gourmet it turned out. The recipe is good as it is written, though I did halve it to 4 pieces of chicken, added garlic and fresh chopped tomatoes, and added some white wine to the sauce, as suggested by other reviews. Oh yeah, I also used baby bella mushrooms, as they cost the same as regular white mushrooms and I prefer the flavor. I served this over angel hair pasta with a side of asparagus sauteed in oil, soy sauce, garlic, jalapenos, and sesame seeds. Overall, the dinner was delicious! My lovely lady enjoyed it so much that I renamed it "Stepher's Chicken." (sorry KJ :) Thanks for the great recipe! Was this review helpful? [ YES ]
