Pizza

PIZZA

1 cup warm water

1 tablespoon sugar

1 tablespoon yeast

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 1/2 cups flour + additional

2 tablespoons olive oil

Your choice of toppings

Combine all ingredients to form a soft dough.

Knead for several minutes until smooth, adding more flour as needed .

Cover dough to prevent drying out and let rise 1/2 hour or more.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Press dough onto parchment paper to form a crust that's about 10" x 14".

Preheat oven to 450*.

While oven is preheating, spread your desired toppings over crust.

For this pizza, I used about 3/4 cup pizza sauce, 1 cup crumbled cooked Italian sausage, 12 oz. sliced fresh mozzarella, and dried oregano, fennel seed, dried basil and garlic powder to taste.

Bake in very hot oven 12 - 15 minutes until browned.

About 8 servings
