Contributed byAnn Moore
Baked pizza with sausage, melted mozzarella, tomato sauce, and basil on a white plate.

Ingredients

  • 1 package active dry yeast (1 T)
  • 4 1/2 cup flour (up to 5 c)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cup water
  • 1 can tomato sauce (8-oz)
  • 2 teaspoon pizza seasoning
  • 1 pound sausage (fried and crumbled)
  • 1 pound mozzarella cheese (grated)
  • other toppings (as desired)
Yield: 6 Servings
Prep Time: 1 hour 30 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes

Instructions

Combine yeast, 2 cups flour and salt. Heat water until very warm (120° to 130°). Gradually beat water into dry ingredients until just blended. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed. Add 1/2 cup flour to make a thick dough; continue beating 2 minutes. Stir in enough additional flour (about 1 1/2 cups) to make a soft dough. Turn dough onto floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes, adding more flour while kneading, if necessary. Shape dough into bait; place in greased large bowl, turning over so top is greased. Cover; let rise in warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch down dough and cut in half. Roil dough out into 2 (11- to 15-inch approximately) oblongs. Spread tomato sauce over dough. Sprinkle on pizza seasoning. Add sausage and other toppings. Cover with cheese. Bake at 400° to 425° for 15 to 20 minutes. Makes 2 pizzas.
