Pizza Dough and Pizza Sauce

This is a great recipe for Pizza Dough and sauce. It is easy and it comes out great!

PIZZA DOUGH
2 cups warm water
5 tsp yeast
2 tsp sugar
1 Tbl oil
Mix together and let it sit for 5 min
Then add:
3 tsp salt
9 tsp sugar
4-5 cups flour
Mix and cover for 1/2 hour. Roll out and Bake at 400 degrees for 10-15 min. It makes 2 round pizza pans. Cook until little brown ontop. You don't want to cook it too long because you will be cooking it again after the toppings are on it.

After the dough has been cooked, you put toppings on it then cook for 5-8 minutes. Until the cheese is melted.

PIZZA SAUCE
3 15-oz tomatoe sauce
1 tsp basil
1/8 onion (minced) or 2 Tbl dried onion
1 tsp parsley
1/4 tsp pepper
1 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp salt
1 clove of garlic or 1 tsp minced garlic
Add and simmer together for 20 min. It will thicken as you simmer.
(I usually don't have basil, oregano or parsley, so I add Italian Seasoning instead)

Tip: If you microwave the pepperoni on a paper towel before putting it on your pizza it will get rid of a lot of the grease. I usually put the pepperoni in for about 30 sec. and dab with a paper towel to get the grease off, then put on the pizza.
