Pizza

I made pizza last night for Ian's birthday/Mother's Day. Ian loves pizza and always asks for it.

Pizza Crust:

1 package active dry yeast
1 tsp sugar
1 cup warm water
2 1/2 cups flour
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a medium bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
Stir in flour, salt, and oil. Beat until smooth. Let rest for 5 minutes.
Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface and pat or roll into a round. Transfer crust to lightly greased pizza pan. Spread with desired toppings and bake for 15 to 20 minutes.

This time I kneaded the dough some with a little more flour so it wouldn't stick to the counter like previous times and it worked much better.

Pizza Sauce: (this makes a lot)

1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce
1 can (6 oz) tomato paste
1 Tbsp ground oregano
1 1/2 tsp dried minced garlic
1 tsp paprika

I use a little less oregano because we found that you can really taste it in this recipe.
