Parson's "Fresh Dough" Pizza

PIZZA DOUGH
2-1/4 tsp. yeast
1 cup warm(110 F.) water
4 tsp. olive oil
+ tsp salt
Approximately 2-1/2 Cups Flour

In a six-quart mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in the water. Add the remaining ingredients, working them into a dough.

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 6 to 7 minutes, until the dough is smooth elastic, and somewhat glossy.

Return the dough to the mixing bowl, cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place for about 40 minutes, or until doubled in bulk,

Roll out the dough to your desired size, lightly cover with olive oil and place in a preheated oven (400 degrees without stone, or on broil with stone) for ten minutes to brown. Remove from oven, add toppings and bake an additional 20-25 minutes.

1 medium onion, chopped
4 tsp. olive oil
1 can(12 oz.) tomato sauce
1 can(12 oz.) diced tomatoes
2 tsp. oregano
2 tsp. sugar
1 tsp basil
1 tsp salt
1 bay leaf
1/4 tsp pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced


Sauté the chopped onion in oil, with garlic, salt and pepper until they are transparent. Add the remaining ingredients and simmer for about fifteen minutes, stirring occasionally.

Layer pizza sauce, and fresh ingredients of your choice on top, then layer a healthy
portion of your favorite cheeses over the top. Complete in oven until golden brown.
