2. Combine the flour, cocoa, bakiing powder, salt and baking soda. Add to the butter mixture alternately with water, beating well after each addition. Fold in chips. Pour into a 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan coated with cooking spray.

2 1/2 C flour
2 T olive or vegetable oil
1 t sugar
1 t salt

Dissolve yeast in warm water in medium bowl. Stir in remaining ingredients. Beat vigorously 20 strokes. Let rest 5 minutes. ( I usually end up dumping it out on the counter and kneading it a few times to make sure it's mixed) The either roll it out and cut for pizza rolls or put on pizza pan and top it with your favorite toppings. Bake at 425 for 15 to 20 minutes for pizza, for rolls anywhere from 12 to 20 minutes just check on it until they are golden brown on the outside and the middle pieces aren't doughy.
