I found this recipe in one of my Amish Cookbooks Cooking with the Horse and Buggy People . It makes a soft, thick crust that my family loves. My seven-year old son rated it as 1,000 thumbs up . This is a doubled version of the recipe to make 2 pizzas. If you don't like an extra-thick crust, use 1/2 of this recipe for 2 pizzas. Ingredients:
5 cups all-purpose flour |
2 tablespoons yeast |
4 tablespoons sugar |
2 teaspoons salt |
2 cups warm water (120-130 deg f) |
4 tablespoons oil |
15 ounces tomato sauce |
2 tablespoons garlic powder |
4 teaspoons sugar |
2 teaspoons oregano |
1/4 teaspoon paprika |
1 teaspoon thyme |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425 deg F.
2. Mix together all the dry ingredients. Add the warm water and oil, mix well. Knead dough a few times on a lightly floured surface. Put dough back in bowl, and lightly coat dough with oil. Cover and let rest or 5 minutes. While dough is resting, mix together all ingredients for the pizza sauce.
3. Divide dough in half, and press each half into an oiled pizza pan. Cook dough for 2 minutes, then take out and let cool. Put sauce then desired toppings on pizza. Cook for 18-20 minutes or until crust is lightly browned and cheese is melted.
