Ingredients
- 1 onion
- 1 bell pepper
- 3 1/2 cup flour
- 15 oz tomato sauce
- 1 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 pound beef
- 2 cup mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 1/4 oz yeast
- 1 tablespoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon basil
In large bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in water; let stand for 5 minutes. Add oil and salt. Stir in flour, a cup at a time, to form soft dough. Turn onto floured board; knead until smooth and elastic, about 2-3 minutes. Place in greased bowl, tuning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes.
Meanwhile, brown beef and onion; drain. Punch dough down; divide in half. Press each into a greased 12 inch pizza pan. Combine the tomato sauce, oregano and basil; spread over each crust. Top with beef mixture, green pepper and cheese.
Bake at 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until crust is lightly browned.
Yield 2 pizzas.
