This crowd-pleasing pizza is topped with a zippy sauce and family favorite ingredients. A co-worker shared the recipe with me. Ingredients:
1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast |
1/4 cup warm water (110° to 115°) |
1 egg |
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce, divided |
3 tablespoons vegetable oil |
1 tablespoon sugar |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon chili powder |
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce, divided |
2-1/4 to 2-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 pound ground beef |
3/4 cup chopped onion |
1 can (4 ounces) mushroom stems and pieces, drained |
1/3 cup chopped pimiento-stuffed olives |
1/4 cup chopped green pepper |
1 tablespoon butter, melted |
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded mozzarella cheese |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add egg, 1/4 cup tomato sauce, oil, sugar, salt, chili powder and 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce; beat until smooth. Add 1 cup flour; beat for 1 minute. 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 rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
3. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Remove from the heat; stir in onion, mushrooms, olives, green pepper and remaining tomato sauce and hot pepper sauce.
4. Punch dough down; turn once onto a lightly floured surface. Roll into a 14-in. x 9-in. rectangle. Place in a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Brush with butter. Top with meat mixture; sprinkle with cheese. Bake at 425° for 15 minutes or until crust is lightly browned and cheese is melted. Yield: 8-10 slices.
