Ingredients for the dough:
1.25 envelope of active dry yeast
1 cup of warm water
3 cups of flour
¼ tsp salt
2 tbsp shortening

Ingredients for the sauce:
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 can of tomato paste, 6 oz
½ cup of chopped onion
6 ounces of water
½ tsp granulated sugar
1 tsp of salt
1/8 tsp of ground pepper
½ tsp of garlic powder
¼ tsp of dried basil
½ tsp of dried oregano
¼ tsp of dried marjoram
¼ tsp of ground cumin
¼ tsp chili powder
1/8 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

Instructions:

You will want to take out a small sized bowl and dissolve the yeast in warm water and let it stand for about ten minutes or until it is creamy. Take out a larger bowl and combine your flour, salt, and shortening. Then stir in your yeast mixture. Once the dough has pulled together, take it out and place it onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 8 minutes. You want it to become smooth and elastic textured.

Now you will want to lightly oil a large bowl and place the dough into the bowl. You should turn the dough so it all gets covered in the oil. Cover the bowl with a towel and allow it to rise for about 45 minutes. Heat oil in a small sized sauce pan placed over medium heat. Sauté your onion until it is tender. Then stir in your tomato paste and water. Season it with the sugar, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, basil, oregano, marjoram, cumin, chili powder and red pepper flakes and simmer it for 15 minutes.

The final step will be for you to divide the dough in half and spread it onto pizza pans. Cover each of the dough with the sauce and any toppings you choose. You will bake it in the oven at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes, or until the crust is done.

2 tablespoons of sugar.
1/4 cup of onion, chopped.
1/4 cup of celery, chopped.

Lift the skin of the duck away from the breast meat, and pack the pulp under each breast.

Cut the single tangerine in half, and rub the skin of the duck all over with the cut sides of the fruit.

Squeeze out the remaining juices from the tangerine halves, add to the tangerine and sugar mash and stuff the tangerine halves into the duck cavity.

Pour the remaining tangerine and sugar mixture into and over the duck.

Stuff the duck cavity with the chopped onions, chopped celery, and bay leaves.

Sprinkle the salt and pepper over the duck and inside the cavity of the duck, rub well into the skin.

Place the duck in a roasting pan with a rack, and sprinkle the tangerine peel around the duck.

Roast the duck for 20 minutes, then reduce heat to 350F and roast for 35 minutes.
