Pizza

My mother used to make fresh pizza that we gobbled up as children. Kerry remembers the first time he had pizza with my brothers. It was a competition to see who could eat the fastest. I remember them competing with Jonathan to see how many pieces they could eat. Jonathan won of course. No doubt about it, our family loves pizza, especially covered with Canadian Bacon and Pineapple.

Put sugar, salt, oil and water in a large bowl. Stir until sugar dissolves and add yeast. After yeast begins to bubble add the flour and beat until smooth. Knead and let rise for 25 minutes. Divide dough in half. Roll into 2 circles with a rolling pin and place on a greased pizza pans. Bake in a 425 degree oven 10 minutes or until dough has a light crust. Do not brown at this time. Take the dough out of the oven and spread pizza or spaghetti sauce on top (I like to use Prego regular sauce) just to a 1/2 inch from the edge of the circle. Sprinkle shredded Mozzarella Cheese on top. Add various toppings such as Canadian Bacon, Pepperoni, Browned Hamburger or Sausage, mushrooms, olives, onions, green peppers, etc. Bake at 425 degrees F. for 15 minutes.
