Pizza

1 and 1/2 cup warm water
add 1T sugar to water with one yeast packet, stir to dissolve. Allow froth to form (about 5 min)

Mix about 4 cups flour (I prefer bread flour) with 1/2 tsp salt, add water mixture along with 1T olive oil. Knead until a ball forms. Set in greased bowl to rise for 1 hour.

While the dough is rising I like to make my sauce and prepare toppings.
Sauce: 1 can (15oz) tomato sauce, 1 tsp sugar, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, and 1/8 tsp basil...stir

*I like to fry up my pepperoni in a pan to give them crispy edges. I also like to sprinkle my pizza pan with cormeal for real pizzeria style!

Once risen, divide dough in half and roll out. Place in pan and build your pizza however you please. Brush crusts with olive oil and sprinkle lightly with garlic powder. Bake at 475 for about 11 minutes.

*Dough can be made ahead of time and stored in a gallon size bag with a little olive oil. It can keep in the fridge for about 24 hours.
*To reheat pizza stick in the oven for a few minutes for just like out of the oven freshness.
* another tip: Sweet baby ray's bbq sauce, shredded chicken, mozzarella cheese and purple onions is delicious!
