Pepperoni Pizza
My husband worked in Chicago-area pizza restaurants throughout high school and college. He says pizza is a work of art, and his are beautiful. Our girls prefer Daddy’s pizza to ordering out! —Julie Host, Polk City, Iowa

So Yummy! Def. will make again - tasted very much like a chicago pizza. For the crust I did use 2 cup bread flour & 1 cup whole wheat flour. Used homemade pizza sauce (recipe on taste of home) @ 1 1/4 cups and added green peppers. So so so good!
I didn't make the whole recipe, just the crust to use with my toppings. My family loved it!!
I tried it will mushrooms, bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, pepperoni and as the original recipe it was great!!!
Best pizza we ever had.
