(Pizza Dough for 2 thick-crusted or 3 thin-crusted pizzas)
Take racks out of oven, then preheat oven to 250 degrees, turning off oven after reaching temperature.
1.5 c very warm water in a large mixer bowl
add:
1 T dry yeast
1 T olive oil
1/2 to 1 t salt
1/3 to 1/2 c sugar
stir in 2.5 c all-purpose flour, 1/2 c at a time. Do this with electric mixer.
Add 2.5 more cups of flour, a little at a time, either with kneading beater if using mixer, or by hand. Knead til soft and springy.
Place dough in a Pammed bowl and turn dough over once to grease both sides. Cover with a towel and place in warm oven. Let dough rise til doubled in bulk, or about 1.5 hours.
Take risen dough, place on floured or Pammed counter, punch dough down and divide into two or three portions, depending on crust thickness desired. Cover dough with towel and let rest for 20 minutes.
Pam pizza pans.
Roll out each dough portion and place in Pammed pan. Let crusts rise for 30-45 minutes.
Preheat oven to 425. Prebake crusts individually on bottom rack. Watch carefully, as you only want to prebake until bottom crusts are barely tan.
Spoon sauce generously, followed by light layer of mozzarella cheese. Then load on your favorite toppings, followed by a generous layer of mozzarella and optional pizza spices.
We like fresh mushroom slices, sliced bell pepper, sliced Vidalia onion, spicy Jimmy Dean pork sausage (precooked, of course) and pepperoni.
Sauce recipe:
Hunts tomato sauce
Italian season
Pepper
Garlic powder.
Spices should be added to taste. If you have time to do so, bring prepared sauce to a boil and allow to thicken. Or just ladle it on as is.
Bake til browned and cheese bubbles nicely. Remove from oven and allow to set for a few minutes. This will help the sauce to cool enough to eat. Enjoy! This recipe is rather time-consuming, but it is Love Pizza* after all, which makes it worth it!
