• Ready In: 40mins
• Ingredients: 14
• Yields: 2 14 inch pizzas
• Serves: 6

ingredients

• 1 tablespoon yeast
• 1 cup warm water
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1⁄4 teaspoon rosemary
• 1⁄4 - 1⁄2 teaspoon garlic, chopped
• 3 -4 cups all-purpose flour
• 6 ounces tomato paste
• 1⁄2 - 3⁄4 cup water
• 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon oregano
• 1 teaspoon basil

directions

1. Mix yeast with warm water and stir until dissolved. Add sugar, salt, rosemary and chopped garlic along with 1°C all purpose flour and stir until smooth. Add in enough flour so that it is easy to handle and knead on floured surface adding enough flour so that it doesn't stick to surface. When barely tacky to the touch, and smooth and elastic place in greased bowl and either turn dough so top is greased or spritz it with cooking spray on top. Set aside to rise - doubling in size.
2. Meanwhile mix tomato paste, water, granulated garlic, onion powder, oregano, and basil using enough water so that you have a good consistency as you desire for a pizza sauce. Let sit so flavors blend.
3. When dough is doubled preheat oven, then punch dough down and shape it into two pizza circles with a rolling pin. I prefer using HOT stones but you can use whatever you have on hand. Top as desired with cheeses, meats, vegetables, etc. and bake at 450 degrees until browned as you like it. (Note for if you want a pan pizza type crust you need to use a jelly roll pan or a pizza pan with sides. Put in 1/8°C oil (at least! the more oil the crisper up to a point )per pan and add your dough then sauce. LET RISE again, then top and bake as usual).
