Ingredients

1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast

2 cups warm water (110° to 115°)

3 tablespoons vegetable oil

1-1/2 teaspoons salt

4 to 6 cups all-purpose flour

SAUCE:

2 cans (8 ounces each) tomato sauce

1-1/2 teaspoons grated onion

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon pepper

TOPPINGS:

4 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

4 ounces Canadian bacon, diced

1 package (3-1/2 ounces) sliced pepperoni

1 medium sweet red pepper, sliced

1 medium green pepper, sliced

1 can (2-1/4 ounces) sliced ripe olives, drained

1 cup chopped onion

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 cup minced fresh basil

Instructions

1 Make the pizza dough

2 In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water. If it’s foaming, it’s working. Add the oil, salt and a little flour. Using a food mixer, beat on medium speed for 3 minutes, then stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface and knead with your hands for about 6 to 8 minutes until you have a smooth and elastic dough. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top, and cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap. Allow to rest in a warm place for 10 minutes, during which the dough will rise. Editor’s Tip: Dust the counter top with a little cornmeal to stop the dough sticking while you knead it. Your local pizza parlor probably does the same.

3 Make the pizza sauce

4 Combine the tomato sauce, onion, oregano, salt and pepper then set aside. Divide the dough in half and roll each into a circle on a floured surface. Transfer each base to a greased pizza pan and crimp the edges slightly to raise them.

5 Pre-bake and bake

6 Bake the crust at 375° for 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Spread evenly with the pizza sauce to the edges and sprinkle with the toppings. Bake for a further 15-20 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
