Homemade Pizza with Homemade Sauce

So, we felt like pizza this evening. After looking at a few different recipes, we decided to have some fun and experiment. Here is the recipe we came up with-

Pizza Dough-

1 Cup warm water

1 Package of dry yeast

2-3 cups flour

2 tablespoons of olive oil

3/4 teaspoon salt

Soften the yeast with the water. Add the flour, salt and oil. Add in enough flour to make soft dough. Knead. Let rise 30 mins until doubled. Grease pizza tray. Roll out dough and prebake for 10 mins at 400.

Pizza Sauce-

2 tomatoes from the garden

1/2 green pepper from the garden

1 1/2 tablespoon of brown sugar

1/2 cup tomato juice

1 teaspoon vinegar

1 teaspoon of garlic

1/4 cup Olive oil

1/2 Cup fresh chopped Basil from the garden

2 teaspoons fresh chopped Oregano from the garden

2 teaspoons of salt

2 teaspoons of Italian seasoning

Blend tomato, green pepper, Basil, Oregano. Saute garlic in olive oil. Then add Italian seasoning. Add blend, brown sugar, tomato juice, salt and vinegar. Cook on medium until reduced to sauce.

Pull crust out of oven, place sauce and other toppings on and cook for another 20 mins, turning once on 375-400 degrees.
