Pizza Dough

It has always been a favorite gathering food to have homemade pizza.

Pizza Dough

In a bowl put:

1 cup warm water

1 Tablespoon of 1 package of yeast

Let it sit for about 5 minutes to activate yeast. Then add:

1 Tablespoon sugar

¼ cup cooking oil

2 cups flour

¼ teaspoon salt

Mix well for several minutes until it is smooth. Gradually add 1 more cup of flour until it is very firm. (Use more if it is still too sticky, but only add ¼ cup at a time)

Knead on a flour board for 5 minutes (or in your bread mixer if that is what you are using. Let it rest for about 10 minutes. Press or roll it into your pizza pan to the desired thickness. (One hint that I have used is to push it from the middle out, if you are doing it all by hand.)

Sauce:

In a bowl add:

1 8 oz. tomato sauce

½ teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, or ¾ tsp oregano, dash garlic powder, pinch of rosmary.

½ tsp. salt

¼ tsp. pepper

Mix it together. Spread a thin layer on top of pizza. Add your own toppings and cheese.

Bake 10-15 minutes in a 425 Fº oven. It will look done when the edges of the pizza are light brown.
