Pizza

Recipe from: Mom, Erin Kay Smith Ferguson, who received it from Texas church member, Donna Wright (1970's)

1 pkg. (1 Tbsp.) yeast

1 cup warm water

3 cups flour

1 1/2 tsp. salt

2 Tbsp. vegetable oil

1-8 oz. can tomato sauce

Italian herb seasoning

Browned sausage or hamburger

Grated mozzarella and parmesan cheese

Sliced, cooked mushrooms

Sliced olives, green or black

Dissolve yeast in water and add salt, half of the flour and beat well.  Add oil and remaining flour.  MIx with spoon until flour cleans the sides of the bowl.  Knead to mix well.  Cover and let rest 5-10 minutes.  Oil a 12x15" baking sheet.  Spread dough on pan.  Bake at 375˚ for 4 minutes.  Remove from oven.  Spread tomato sauce over crust and sprinkle with Italian seasonings.  Top with browned sausage or hamburger meat, mushrooms, olives, or other toppings desired.  Sprinkle with grated mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese.  Bake at 375˚ for about 20-25 minutes.  

This is a thick crust pizza.  For thin crust, use two 12x15" baking sheets.
