Our Staple Pizza

We eat pizza in our home about once a week. We used to be creative with different toppings each time, but we have finally settled on our favorite!

Crust(From Betty Crocker's Cookbook):
1.5 Cups Flour
1/2 Tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 package yeast
1.5 Tbsp oil
1/2 cup very hot water

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix, let stand in warm place for at least a half hour. Shape on greased pan. Sprinkle with garlic salt and precook in at 425 degrees for 8 minutes.

Sauce:
10 ripe tomatoes
oregano
garlic salt
pepper
cayenne pepper
basil

Blanche and skin tomatoes, add seasonings to taste, let simmer for several hours, add flour as needed for thickening.

Toppings:
Homemade sauce
mozzarella cheese
Parmesan cheese
cheddar cheese
crushed pineapple
pepperoni
crushed red pepper
garlic butter spread

We use mostly mozzarella and then add sprinkles of cheddar and Parmesan on top of all the toppings. We use the garlic butter on the crust.

Bake at 425 for 8-10 minutes.
