From a Gold Medal Flour bag in the early 1970's - makes 2 crusts - if your children won't eat onions, do as I did when my daughter was little and blend the tomato sauce and onion in the blender! If Jennifer couldn't see the onion pieces, she ate it! Can be frozen and baked at a later time - Ingredients:
1/4 ounce active dry yeast (1 package is approximately 2 1/4 teaspoons) |
1 cup warm water (105-115 degrees) |
1 teaspoon sugar |
1 teaspoon salt |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
2 1/2 cups flour (stir to remove any lumps) |
1/2 cup chopped onion |
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce |
1 ounce parmesan cheese, grated (equals 1/4 cup) |
2 teaspoons dried oregano |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4-1/2 teaspoon minced garlic |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
4 ounces pepperoni, sliced (equals 1 cup) |
8 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded (equals 2 cups) |
Directions:
1. Dough directions:.
2. Preheat oven to 425 degrees (400 degrees if using Pyrex pizza pans).
3. Dissolve yeast in warm water. Stir in remaining dough ingredients: beat vigorously, about 20 strokes.

10. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until crust is brown and topping is hot and bubbly. Makes 2 pizzas.
