Pizza

I found this recipe in a magazine while waiting for a doctor appointment. We all love it. I made it last night for dinner and used half whole wheat flour (freshly ground...it seems to taste lots better) and it was yummy! None of the kids noticed that it wasn't made with all white flour.

1 c water
3/4 T yeast
2 t honey
1 T + 1 t olive oil
2 t salt
3 c flour

Dissolve yeast in water with the honey. Let sit for 5 minutes or until foamy. Add 1 T of oil and the salt, stir. Add flour. Knead for 10 minutes until smooth. Coat bowl with remaining olive oil. Place dough in blow. Turn to coat dough with oil. Cover with plastic. Let rise until double. Punch down. Let rise another 30 minutes.

Pizza Sauce

32 oz can crushed tomatoes
1 t dried oregano
1 t salt
1/2 t black pepper
1 t sugar
3 T olive oil
2 small garlic cloves, minced

simmer until slightly thick.

Assemble pizza with desired toppings. Bake at 400 to 425 for 15-20 min.

Note: I doubled batch of dough and it made two 14" pizzas plus 6 "personal pan" pizzas for the kids which were about 5" each. It's best not to have the dough too thick or it ends up being doughy.
