Homemade Pizza

I stole the pizza recipe from Chabad.  The pizza sauce recipe came from allrecipes.com.  It was easier to do than I thought, and surprisingly delicious!

Dough Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups warm water
• 1 tsp. dry yeast
• 3 1/2 - 4 cups flour
• 1 tsp. kosher salt
• 1 tbsp. olive oil

Toppings:

• 1 cup tomato sauce (1/4-1/2 cup per pizza. See recipe below.)
• 4 cups shredded cheese (1-2 cups per pizza)
• Mushrooms, sliced
• Peppers, thinly sliced
• Purple onion, thinly sliced
• Olives, sliced
• Pineapple, in chunks

Directions:

1. 1. Preheat your oven to 500F.
2. 2. Put the water and yeast in a small bowl. (Mixture does not need to bubble.)
3. 3. Mix all ingredients until combined. Knead for 3-4 minutes. If dough feels sticky, flour your hands to make it easier to knead.
4. 4. Divide dough into 4 balls, cover with a damp cloth and set it aside to rest for about 10 minutes.
5. 5. Roll out the first ball into a 12-inch circle. Or roll it out to a 10-inch circle and then toss it! That's much more fun!  Here's a video on how!  Carefully transfer dough to a pizza pan. (If you don't have a pizza pan, you can use a regular baking sheet.)
6. 6. Spread 1/4 cup (or more, if you prefer) of sauce over the dough, and put the pizza in the oven for 3-4 minutes.
7. 7. Take the pizza out, cover with 1-2 cups shredded cheese and the toppings of your choice.
8. 8. Return pizza to the oven for another 8-10minutes (until cheese is bubbling).
9. 9. Remove, let cool 5 minutes, cut into slices and serve immediately.
