This came from My Great Recipes, and I finally tried it. If you're unsure about making homemade crust-this is an easy no-fail pizza crust. When I make this again I'll experiment with a homemade pizza sauce instead of just plain tomato sauce. I like this recipe because it doesn't require a lot of ingredients you don't have on hand. I whipped this up for lunch today, and I think kids would especially enjoy it (they'd probably like helping you make it too). Ingredients:
1 lb extra lean ground beef |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon dried italian herb seasoning (oregano, marjoram, savory, basil, or sage leaves) |
1/2 teaspoon fennel seed |
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
5 teaspoons active dry yeast (2 packages) |
1 cup warm water, 105 f to 115 f |
1 teaspoon sugar |
2 tablespoons oil |
1 teaspoon salt |
2 -2 1/2 cups flour |
8 ounces tomato sauce |
1 green peppers or 1 red pepper, sliced |
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese |
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese |
Directions:
1. Crumble beef into skillet. Add salt, herbs, seeds and cayenne pepper. Stir and cook until meat loses pinkness.
2. Meanwhile, dissolve yeast in water. Add sugar and let stand 2 minutes until bubbly.
3. Stir in oil, salt, and 2 cups of flour. Beat well. Add enough additional flour to make dough easy to handle.
4. Press into well-greased 14 round pizza pan or 15x10 jelly roll pan, building up edges to hold in filling.
5. Top with warm ground beef mixture. Spread with tomato sauce. Add onion and green pepper. Sprinkle with the cheeses.
6. Bake at 400 F for 30 to 35 minutes until filling is bubbly and crust is browned. Cut into wedges and squares. Serve immediately.
