Pizza
For The Sauce: 8 oz. can tomato sauce, 1 medium onion-fine chopped, 1-2 cloves garlic, 1/2 tsp oregano, 1 tsp dry basil (fresh can be used-adjust amount up), 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper. Combine all in saucepan, simmer 20 minutes, then cool.
For the Dough: 1 pkg dry yeast (2-1/4 tsp), 3/4 cup warm water, 1 tsp sugar, 1/2 tsp salt, 2 TBSP oil, 2 cups flour (we use some whole wheat-some white), 1-2 TBSP cornmeal-optional. Dissolve yeast in water with sugar, then add salt & oil. Mix in almost all the flour and some cornmeal, knead in enough flour to make nice, barley-sticky dough. Place in greased bowl and cover with towel, let rise 20 minutes. Add favorite toppings and bake in 425 degree oven 15-20 minutes
Will make 1 large or 2 medium thin crust or 1 "hand thrown" medium pie. Our favorite toppings are browned & crumbled bratwurst and lots of fresh mushrooms.
