  • ¾ cup chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, margarine, or butter
  • 1 x 14½-ounce can tomatoes, cut up

Directions

1

Cook the ¾ cup chopped onion and garlic in 1 tablespoon oil.

2

Stir in tomatoes, tomato sauce, bay leaf, basil, oregano, fennel seed (if using), sugar and pepper.

3

Bring to boiling. Reduce heat; Simmer, uncovered, for 35 to 40 minutes or to desired consistency, stirring occasionally. Discard bay leaf.

4

Meanwhile in a large bowl combine 1¼ cups of the flour, the yeast, and the salt.

5

Add warm water and 2 tablespoons oil.

6

Beat with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds, scraping bowl constantly.

7

Beat on high speed for 3 minutes.

8

Using a spoon, stir in as much of the remaining flour as you can.

9

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface.

10

Knead in enough remaining flour to make a moderately stiff dough that is smooth and elastic (6 to 8 minutes total).

11

Divide dough in half. Cover and let rest 10 minutes.

12

Grease two 11- to 13-inch pizza pans or baking sheets.

13

On a lightly floured surface roll each half of dough into a circle 1 inch larger than pizza pan. Transfer to pans.

14

Build up edges slightly. Flute edges, if desired. Prick dough generously with a fork. Do not let rise.

15

Bake in a 425°F oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned.

16

Meanwhile, in a large skillet cook ground beef and/or sausage and the 1 cup chopped onion until meat is brown and onion is tender. Drain fat.

17

Spread pizza sauce over hot crusts.

18

Sprinkle with meat mixture.

19

Top with pepperoni, Canadian-style bacon, and green sweet pepper.

20

Sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan or Romano cheese.

21
