Steps:
- Wrap a sushi rolling mat completely in plastic wrap and set aside.
- Bring water and rice to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer rice to a bowl and cut in rice vinegar using a rice paddle or wooden spoon. Season with 1 teaspoon sugar and 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste. Allow to cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
- Combine crab meat with mayonnaise in a small bowl.
- Place a sheet of nori on a flat work surface. Spread a thin layer of rice on top of the nori. Place the nori, rice side down, on the prepared rolling mat. Place 2 to 3 avocado slices on top of the nori in one layer. Top with 2 to 3 tablespoons of the crab mixture. Spoon 1 to 2 teaspoons tobiko lengthwise on one side of the avocado-crab mixture, and 2 cucumber strips on the other side. Using the mat as a guide, carefully roll the California roll into a tight log. Remove the rolling mat. Top roll with more tobiko, cover with plastic wrap, and gently press the tobiko into the top of the roll. Remove the plastic and cut roll into 6 even pieces using a wet knife. Repeat with remaining sheets of nori and filling. Serve garnished with pickled ginger, soy sauce, and wasabi paste

FAMOUS CALIFORNIA PIZZA DOUGH
One product of my online interview with Wolfgang Puck was being given his pizza dough recipe to publish. I don't think this recipe is any kind of secret, and I'm sure it's been published many times, but I had never personally tried it, so I decided to do this recipe check out this iconic dough for myself.

Steps:
- Combine yeast, honey, and 1/4 cup warm water in a large bowl with a whisk. Let stand to dissolve, about 10 minutes.
- Add salt, 1 tablespoon olive oil, remaining 3/4 cup warm water, and 1 cup flour to the mixture and stir until a batter forms. Add another 1 cup flour; stir to combine. Add 1/2 cup more flour and combine.
- Turn dough out onto a surface dusted with 1/4 cup flour. Knead until a smooth, fairly firm, slightly sticky dough is achieved, adding more flour as needed.
- Transfer dough to a lightly oiled bowl and cover with a damp towel. Let sit in a warm place until doubled in size, 30 to 40 minutes.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured cutting board and pat down with your hand. Divide dough into 4 equal pieces. Stretch and fold each piece down and under, tucking as you go, to form pizza dough rounds.
- Cover with a towel and let sit in a warm place until doubled in size, 20 to 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Dust a baking sheet with cornmeal.
- Transfer dough rounds to a lightly floured board and press each piece out to desired thickness, starting in the center, until 8 to 10 inches wide. Form a crust shape around the outer edges with your fingertips.
- Transfer one round of pizza dough to the prepared baking sheet and brush with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Top with any sauce and toppings you like.
- Bake in the lower rack of the preheated oven for 5 minutes. Move to the center of the oven and continue to bake until golden, about 10 minutes more. Repeat to bake remaining pizzas.

CALIFORNIA YUCCHI DIP
You can adjust the "hotness" of this hot dip by using either mild, medium or hot salsa. I'm not sure on the ounce size of the salsa. The original recipe called for a "medium jar". Even though this recipe was meant as a dip, we found that it goes good as a topping on hotdogs, much like a coney sauce.

Tips:
- Choose ripe avocados: The riper the avocados, the creamier and more flavorful your dip will be.
- Use fresh lime juice: Fresh lime juice adds a bright, citrusy flavor to the dip. Avoid using bottled lime juice, as it can be bitter.
- Don't overmix the dip: Overmixing the dip can make it watery. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Serve the dip immediately: California Yucchi Dip is best served immediately after it is made. However, you can make it ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
- Garnish the dip with cilantro or green onions: Cilantro or green onions add a fresh, herbaceous flavor to the dip. They also make the dip more visually appealing.
Conclusion:
California Yucchi Dip is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It is creamy, flavorful, and refreshing. Serve it with tortilla chips, vegetables, or crackers. Your guests will love it!
