You can make this tasty pizza yourself with hardly any fuss. My sister shared the recipe with me years ago. It's now a staple in our home. Have everyone pitch in when assembling the pizza...it's a nice way to get the family together.Audra Dee Collins, Hobbs, New Mexico Ingredients:
1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast |
1 cup warm water (110° to 115°) |
2 tablespoons canola oil |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon sugar |
2-3/4 to 3-1/4 cups all-purpose flour |
sauce: |
1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce |
1/2 cup chopped onion |
3/4 teaspoon italian seasoning |
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
topping: |
1/2 pound johnsonville® mild ground italian sausage, cooked and drained |
1 can (4 ounces) mushroom stems and pieces, drained |
1 medium green pepper, sliced |
1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Add the oil, salt, sugar and 2 cups flour. Beat on medium speed for 3 minutes. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
2. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rest in a warm place for 10 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, combine sauce ingredients; set aside. Divide dough in half. On a floured surface, roll each portion into a 13-in. circle. Transfer to greased 12-in. pizza pans; build up edges slightly. Prick dough thoroughly with a fork.
4. Bake at 375° for 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Spread sauce over hot crusts to within 2-in. of edges; top with sausage, mushrooms, green pepper and cheese. Bake for 20 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Yield: 2 pizzas (8 servings each, 2 slices per serving).
