Directions
Make The Dough:
1. Dissolve yeast in warm water and let it stand till foamy
about 5 minutes)
2. Add the sugar, oil, flour and salt. I use a stand mixer so with
the dough hook knead at low speed until smooth and elastic
(about 8 to 10 minutes)
3. Remove the dough from the bowl and transfer to a lightly
oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let the dough rise in a
warm spot until it doubles in size ( 11/2 to 2 hours).
4. Transfer the dough onto a lightly oiled surface and
cut in half. Shape into a loose ball and cover with a
kitchen towel for about 10 minutes.
5. Lightly dust 1 dough ball with all purpose flour and
roll into a round 12 to 14 inches (30-35 cm) in
diametre. Spread semolina (about 1/4 cup on your
baking sheet and transfer your dough there.
The Pizza Sauce:
1. Preheat a saucepan over a medium high heat then add the olive oil and onion. Sauté until the onions soften and begin to
turn golden, and then add the garlic. lf you add the garlic with the onion, it will burn in the time it takes the onions to begin
browning. Continue to sauté for a few more minutes, being careful not to scorch the garlic.
2. Add the tomato paste and canned tomatoes and stir well, crushing them with the back of the spoon. Add oregano, while
continuing to stir then bring to a simmer. Let simmer for 30 minutes, until thickened. lf you like, puree in the food processor
until smooth.
For my hubby: chopped peppers, chopped onions, mushroom, pepperoni, sausage, sauté ground beef, green olives and
lots of mozzarella cheese.
For me :) chopped peppers, pepperoni, blue cheese and mozzarella cheese.
