Ingredients
Pizza Dough
- 2 packages yeast
- 5 cups flour
- 2 Tablespoons oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 cups water
Tomato Sauce
- 1 can of tomato sauce
- 1 dash of pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon oregano
- 1 Tablespoon oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Toppings
- Mozzarella
- Pepperoni
- etc...
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients for pizza dough in large mixing bowl. Stir 20 times with a wooden spoon. If necessary, add more flour or water until dough is easy to handle. Cover and let rise for 1 hour in a warm (80°) place, or refrigerate overnight. Dough should approximately double.
- Divide dough into desired sizes and flatten onto a lightly greased cookie sheet. Dough should be about 1/4" thick. Roll up edges.
- Combine tomato sauce ingredients and spread evenly over dough. Put on Mozzarella cheese and other toppings as desired. Bake at 425° for about 15 minutes until inside of crust is no longer doughy.
Notes
Instead of the tomato sauce above, you can use store-bought sauce, the Marinara recipe on page 72, or anything else that comes to mind. Be creative!
