Ingredients
-
1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
-
1 teaspoon sugar
-
1-1/4 cups warm water (110° to 115°)
-
1/4 cup canola oil
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
3-1/2 to 4 cups all-purpose flour
-
1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce
-
3 teaspoons dried oregano
-
1 teaspoon dried basil
-
2 cups toppings of your choice (like sliced pepperoni, cooked crumbled sausage, chopped onion, sliced mushrooms, chopped green pepper or sliced olives), optional
-
2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
Directions
-
1.
In large bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in water; let stand for 5 minutes. Add oil and salt. Stir in flour, 1 cup at a time, until a soft dough forms.
-
2.
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 2-3 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes.

3.
Punch down dough; divide in half. Press each half into a greased 12-in. pizza pan. Combine the tomato sauce, oregano and basil; spread over each crust. If desired, add toppings of your choice. Sprinkle with cheese.

4.
Bake at 400° for 25-30 minutes or until crust is lightly browned.
