Homemade Pizza

Recipe taken from the book:  Girlfriends on the go, a busy Mom's guide to make-ahead meals

Ingredients:
2 cups flour
2 tsp. active dry yeast
1 tsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
3/4 c. warm water
2 Tbsp. olive oil
pizza sauce
toppings

(double ingredients if wanting two medium sized pizzas)

Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water in a measuring cup; let stand until bubbly- about 10 minutes.  Stir in olive oil and salt.  Place flour in a mixing bowl and add yeast mixture.  Mix all together until the dough forms a ball.  Place dough in a greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap.  Let rise until double- about 1- 1 1/2 hours.  When ready, roll out on pizza pan.  Bake and 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes.  Watch crust and check often.

Freezing directions:  After rolling out, flash freeze crust.  Remove from pan and wrap in plastic.  Then cover with foil and freeze.  You can freeze sauce and toppings separately or put on pizza first and freeze that way.

April's pizza sauce:
1 Tbsp. olive oil
3 cups (or one big can of crushed) pureed tomatoes
1 (6 0z) can tomato paste
2-3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp. dried basil
1 tsp. dried oregano
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. garlic salt

Heat oil in sauce pan.  Add all ingredients and bring to a boil.  Turn down heat and simmer for at least 30 minutes.
