Pizza Recipes

As promised here are the recipes for the homemade dough and sauce:

Pizza Dough
2 1/2-3 cups flour (I used bread flour)
1 tablespoon Sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 package dry yeast (2 1/4 Tbsp)
3 Tablespoons olive or vegetable oil
1 cup very warm water (120-130 degrees)

Mix 1 cup flour, the sugar, salt and yeast.  Add oil and water.  Beat on medium speed for a couple minutes. Stir in enough of the remaining flour until dough is soft and leaves the sides of the bowl. (It will still be very sticky)  Place on floured surface and Knead for 5 to 10 minutes. (Or if you have a dough hook on your mixer like I do leave in the bowl and knead for 2-3 minutes) Spray plastic wrap with cooking spray and then loosely wrap the dough in it.  Let the dough rest for 30 minutes.  Dough makes two pizza crust. Add sauce and toppings then cook for about 15 minutes in oven that is 425 degrees.


Pizza Sauce (these measurements aren't exact so you may want to experiment)


2 cans tomato sauce (could also use tomato paste to make it go faster)
1 Tbsp Italian seasoning (or if you don't have that use oregano, basil and thyme since that is what is in the seasoning)
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon oregano

Bring to a boil then cover and simmer for about 20 minutes. Put your sauce on the pizza and cover with whatever other toppings you want. I also sprinkled some chili powder and garlic power all over the pizza before baking it.
