This recipe is a hearty, zesty main dish with a crisp, golden crust. Feel free to use whatever toppings your family enjoys.Marianne Edwards, Lake Stevens, Washington Ingredients:
1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast |
1 teaspoon sugar |
1-1/4 cups warm water (110° to 115°) |
1/4 cup canola oil |
1 teaspoon salt |
3-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/2 pound ground beef |
1 small onion, chopped |
1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce |
3 teaspoons dried oregano |
1 teaspoon dried basil |
1 medium green pepper, diced |
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese |
Directions:
1. In large bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in water; let stand for 5 minutes. Add oil and salt. Stir in flour, a cup at a time, until a soft dough forms.
2. Turn onto floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 2-3 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes. Meanwhile, cook beef and onion over medium heat until no longer pink; drain.
3. Punch down dough; divide in half. Press each into a greased 12-in. pizza pan. Combine the tomato sauce, oregano and basil; spread over each crust. Top with beef mixture, green pepper and cheese.
4. Bake at 400° for 25-30 minutes or until crust is lightly browned. Yield: 2 pizzas (3 servings each).
