"These savory wedges aren't hard to make, but they taste great," writes Danielle McIntyre of Medicine Hat, Alberta. "They're terrific served with soups, salads and pasta dishes."

Ingredients

3 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 cup warm water (110° to 115°), divided
1 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 teaspoon salt
2-1/2 to 3 cups all-purpose flour

1/3 cup fat-free Italian salad dressing
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme

Directions

In a bowl, dissolve yeast in 1/4 cup warm water. Add sugar; let stand

soft dough.
