Ingredients
  

Basic Pizza Dough:

  • 2 cups flour
  • 2.5 tsp quick-rise yeast
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • ½ cup yellow cornmeal

Pizza toppings:

  • 8 tbsp Marinara Sauce Jarred Spaghetti or pizza sauce
  • 1 cup mozzarella
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Olives sliced
  • Red Onion sliced
  • Sun dried Tomatoes
  • Fresh basil
  • Green Bell pepper sliced
  • Artichoke Hearts
  • Pineapple chopped

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, combine flour, yeast, and salt.
  • Stir in ¾ cups of warm water and oil until dough forms a ball.
  • Turn out on a floured surface and knead for 5-minutes.
  • Shape dough into 4 balls and place on a cookie sheet that has been sprinkled with corn meal.

This dough is so good and perfect. It is also vegan which is great! You can make ahead and freeze right before one of the rising times if you want for future pizza making dates.

  • Cover with saran wrap and let rest 15-minutes.
  • Pat each ball out into a 6-inch round.
  • Heat olive oil in pan over medium heat.
  • Add onion, bell pepper and cook until tender or to your liking.
  • Add 2 tbsp of sauce to pizza round leaving a ½ inch rim.
  • Pinch and press edge up to form a high rim.
  • Add ¼ cup cheese and toppings as desired.
  • Repeat for next 3 pizzas.

You can keep all 4 balls together to make one large pizza or 2 balls for two mediums. But I like the personal size to mix and match my ingredients on each one.

  • Let pizzas rest for 15-minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

I bought some pizza sauce in a jar and it was pretty normal but I know I could cook up one and it would be even better than the jarred stuff. Next time.

  • Bake on bottom rack 20-30 minutes or until crust is browned.
