Awesome Homemade PIzza


Serves 6

2 1/2 C all purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 pkg (1/4 oz) dry yeast
1 Tbsp plus 2 tsp olive oil
1 C lukewarm water
3/4 C pizza sauce
12 oz sliced mozzarella
Whatever toppings you like...
dried seasonings (I use basil, but you could use oregano, etc)

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly grease a 12x9 inch baking sheet. Sift the flour & salt into a large bowl. Stir in yeast. Make a well in the center & add olive oil & 1 cup lukewarm water. Mix until a soft dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface & knead gently for 5 minutes.

2. Roll our dough & press into prepared baking sheet. Cover & allow to rest for 10 minutes at room temperature, then bake for 5-7 minutes.

3. Remove the crust from the oven & spread pizza sauce on top, leaving a 3/4 inch border. Arrange the mozzarella on top & then the pepperoni (or canadian bacon or whatever). Sprinkle with spices & drizzle with olive oil. Bake until golden, 15-20 minutes.
