PIZZA

Sauce
I have yet to find the perfect
Pizza Sauce, but these are a good start
Sauce 1
makes about 2 1/4 cups
1 12 oz can tomato paste
1 1/2 cups water
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp basil
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 Tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
Measure dry ingredients and mix
together well - set aside.
In a medium sauce pan, combine tomato paste with water over
medium heat until it has a uniform
consistency.
When it begins to bubble, add dry ingredients and reduce heat to Med-Low
Simmer, uncovered, 35-40 minutes until it reaches desired thickness.
Stir occasionally. Cover & cool to room temp.
Refrigerate in airtight container. Keeps well.
Sauce 2
1 can tomato puree
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp dried basil
1/4 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp dried thyme
Combine ingredients in sauce pan over medium heat.
When sauce begins to bubble, lower heat and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring
often.
Remove from heat and cool until ready to use.
Refrigerate leftover.
Papa John's Pizza Sauce Recipe

Crust
I have had good luck with both of these
Crust 1
1 packet active dry yeast
1/2 teaspoon brown sugar
1 tsp salt
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 1/2 cups warm water (110 F)
3 1/3 cups all purpose flour
In a large bowl, dissolve yeast & brown sugar in warm
water.
Let sit for 10 minutes.
Stir in oil and salt. Mix in 2 1/2 cups flour.
Turn dough out on a clean, floured surface and knead until
dough is no longer sticky. Place dough in well oiled bowl and cover.
Let sit until it doubles in size (about 1 hr).
Punch down dough and form a tight ball. Let relax for 10 min.
Roll out dough for favorite recipe.
Crust 2
1 cup flat beer
2 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour

Allow dough to relax for a few minutes before rolling out.
