PIZZA SERVES 3-4

INGREDIENTS 1 PKG. Quick rising yeast 2/3 cup warm water 2 cups flour 1/2tsp. Salt 2 Tbsp. olive oil 1/2cup pizza (or spaghetti sauce) 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese Optional toppings-chopped fresh vegetables, cooked ground meat or sausage-choose turkey sausage to save fat calories, pineapple. DIRECTIONS Dissolve yeast in warm water, in a large bowl. Add flour, salt and salad oil and mix well. Knead for 5 minutes. Place in oiled bowl, turn dough in bowl to coat with oil. Cover bowl and let dough sit in a warm place for 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Punch down dough and gently pat and stretch it to fit a pizza pan-turn edge of crust up, slightly. Prick several times with a fork and bake for 10 min. If using a pizza stone, sprinkle with cornmeal. Crust does not have to be prebaked so pizza may be assembled and baked for 20 minutes. Spread sauce to within 1/2inch of edge. Add cheese and toppings. Bake for an additional 10 minutes or until crust is lightly browned and cheese is bubbly.
