Bunco Night Treats... here are the recipes I promised.

Turkey Delux Club Pizza
**1 loaf rhodes bread dough
2 tsp sesame seeds
1/4 c mayonnaise
1 tsp lemon zest
1/4 c. pesto
1 c. shredded jack cheese
6 slices deli turkey cut into strips
6 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
2 tomatoes sliced thinly
1/2 c. fresh mushrooms sliced
1/2 c. shredded swiss cheese

roll dough into 12x15 rectangle.  prick dough with fork, sprinkle dough with sesame seeds.  bake in a 425 oven for 10-12 minutes.  remove from oven and spread with mayo and pesto.  sprinkle on jack cheese, turkey, bacon, mushrooms, and tomatoes.  sprinkle swiss cheese on top and top with lemon zest and more pesto (if desired)  return to oven and cook for 7-10 min more.

(pizza can be grilled.  roll dough out as above and brush with olive oil, lay directly on the grill, brown on one side and flip over.  top with ingredients and close lid while cheese melts and crust continues to cook.)

**I made my own crust in my bread machine.  Here's the recipe:
