I've made my share of pizza over the years and I like to try new recipes. I really like this dough recipe because it is QUICK!!! It doesn't get the crispiest which David is bummed about, but I still like it a lot. I cook it a really long time and add foil to my cheese at the end to prevent the cheese from burning. This sauce is different than normal sauces and I really enjoy it too! It is a nice, thick sauce! Yummo!
Quick & Easy Pizza Dough
Ingredients
- 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast (2 1/4 tsp)
- 1 teaspoon white sugar
- 1 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- about 2 cups white flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
Directions
- Preheat oven to 500 degrees F. In a medium bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
- Stir in flour, salt and oil. Beat until smooth. Let rest for 5 minutes.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat or roll into a round. Transfer crust to a lightly greased pizza pan or baker's peel dusted with cornmeal. Spread with desired toppings and bake in preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown (I normally need to cook it another 7 minutes or so with foil on top). Let baked pizza cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Exquisite Pizza Sauce
Ingredients
- 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
- 6 fluid ounces warm water (110 degrees)
- 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram
- 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions
- In a small bowl, combine tomato paste, water, Parmesan cheese, garlic, honey, onion powder, oregano, marjoram, basil, ground black pepper; mix together, breaking up any clumps of cheese.
- Sauce should sit for 30 minutes to blend flavors; spread over pizza dough and prepare pizza as desired.
