Homemade Pizza Supreme Recipe

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 (16 ounces) 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

Directions

• In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add oil, salt and 2 cups flour. Beat on medium speed for 3 minutes. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rest in a warm place for 10 minutes.
• Combine sauce ingredients; set aside. Divide dough in half. On a floured surface, roll each portion into a 13-in. circle. Transfer to two greased 12-in. pizza pans; build up edges slightly.
• Bake at 375° for 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Spread with sauce; sprinkle with toppings. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until cheese is melted. Yield: 2 pizzas (6 slices each).
