EASY HOMEMADE PIZZA

PIZZA DOUGH

2 1/2 C FLOUR
1 TBSP SUGAR
1 TSP SALT
1 C. HOT WATER
1 TBSP RAPID YEAST (I USE ONE PACKET)
2 TBSP OLIVE OIL

PIZZA SAUCE
1 C. TOMATO SAUCE (8 OZ. CAN)
1/8 TSP. SALT
1 1/4 TSP. SUGAR
1/4 TSP GARLIC POWDER
1/8 TSP. BASIL
1/4 TSP. OREGANO
DASH OF PEPPER

MIX/KNEAD ALL INGREDIENTS IN A MIXER FOR 5 MINUTES ON MEDIUM SPEED. LET DOUGH REST FOR 10 MIN.

BAKE CRUST ONLY FOR 3 MINUTES @ 500. ADD SAUCE AND TOPPINGS AND BAKE FOR 8-10 MIN @ 500.

I USUALLY DOUBLE THE DOUGH AND MAKE TWO PIZZAS. YOU CAN MAKE ROUND, OR COOK IN COOKIE SHEETS AND CUT STRIPS. THE KIDS LIKE THAT. OR IF YOU WANT A THICKER CRUST DOUBLE THE DOUGH AND MAKE ONLY ONE PIZZA. CAN ALSO USE THE DOUGH FOR BREADSTICKS. WE MAKE THIS ALOT!
