Pizza

Title: My husband's Mother made homemade Pizza Crust while they lived overseas over the years when pizza was not available to her 5 sons.   It is now requested at every family gathering, especially for birthdays.

Ingredients:
1 c luke warm water
1 T sugar
1 T yeast
2 T olive oil
1 T salt, scant
3.5 cups white flour 

Hunt's Garlic and Herb Spaghetti Sauce


Directions:
Dissolve yeast in water with sugar.   Add remaining ingredients 
and knead.   Let raise 15-20 minutes. 
Grandma uses spaghetti sauce nowadays.   Maybe I'll get her
real sauce recipe one day.
Whatever toppings you enjoy.   She uses onion, green pepper, 
sausage, pepperoni, hamburger or  ground turkey, 
mushrooms, cheese, etc.  (I like artichokes, black olives and tomatoes.)
Bake 425 about 15-20 minutes.


Number Of Servings:2 pizzas

And I found this recipe in  my Mother's recipe book today.  I'm going to give it a try.  

Combine 1 tsp yeast, 1 cup warm water and 1 tsp sugar and let stand.
Mix into above ingredients into 2 1/2 c. flour, or a little more and a pinch of salt.  
Mix with spoons.  Let stand 20 minutes.  Roll out into pizza pan or cookie sheet.
Top with favorite fillings.
Bake 20-25 minutes at 375.
