Ingredients and Directions

1 1/4 oz yeast, baker's, active, package

1 teaspoon sugar

1 1/4 cup water, warm, 110-115 degrees

1/4 cup vegetable oil

1 teaspoon salt

3 1/2 cup flour, all-purpose

1/2 pound beef, ground

1 each onion, chopped

15 oz tomato sauce

1 tablespoon oregano, dried

1 teaspoon basil, dried

1 each bell pepper, green, diced

2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

In large bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in water; let stand for 5 minutes. Add oil and salt. Stir in flour, a cup at a time, to form soft dough. Turn onto floured board; knead until smooth and elastic, about 2-3 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 inch pizza pan. Combine the tomato sauce, oregano and basil; spread over each crust. Top with beef mixture, green pepper and cheese. Bake at 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until crust is lightly browned. Yield 2 pizzas.
