-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 1/4 oz Pkg active baker's yeast
1 ts Sugar
1 1/4 c Water -- warm (110 to 115°F)
1/4 c Vegetable oil
1 ts Salt
3 1/2 c All-purpose flour
1/2 lb Ground beef
1 sm Onion -- chopped
15 oz Tomato sauce
1 tb Dried oregano
1 ts Dried basil
1 md Green pepper -- diced
2 c Mozzarella cheese -- shredded
In large bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in water; let stand for
5 minutes. Add oil and salt. Stir in flour, 1 cup at a time, to form
soft dough. Turn onto floured board; knead until smooth and elastic,
about 2 to 3 minutes. Place in greased bowl, tuning once to grease
top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about
45 minutes.
Meanwhile, brown beef and onion; drain.
Punch dough down; divide in half. Press each into a greased 12" pizza
pan. Combine the tomato sauce, oregano, and basil; spread over each
crust. Top with beef mixture, green pepper, and cheese. Bake at 400°F
for 25 to 30 minutes or until crust is lightly browned.
