Ingredients

  • Olive oil or cooking spray
  • 1⅛ teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm water (110 to 115 degrees)
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup olive oil
  • 12 ounces mozzarella cheese sliced
  • ½ pound Italian sausage mild
  • 15 ounces canned tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil, crushed
  • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 4 ounces sliced mushrooms optional
  • 2 ounces chopped bell pepper optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cook sausage until browned and crumbly.
  2. Generously brush a heavy 10-inch round cake or springform pan with olive oil or cooking spray.
  3. In a large mixer bowl, sprinkle yeast into warm water and stir until yeast is dissolved.
  4. Add 1½ cups of the flour, ⅓ cup oil, and ½ teaspoon salt. Beat at low speed 30 seconds, scraping bowl constantly.
  5. Beat for 2 minutes at high speed, scraping bowl often. Add in as much of the remaining flour as you can while beating the dough.
  6. Cover and let the dough rise in a warm place until double. Punch down. Let rest 5 minutes. 
  7. Preheat oven to 500 degrees.
  8. Place the dough into the pan. Using oiled hands, spread dough evenly over the bottom and partially up sides of the pan.  
  9. Cover the pan and let the dough rise until nearly double, about 30 minutes.
  10. Arrange cheese slices in a ¼-inch thick layer on dough.
  11. Gently press the sausage on the cheese.
  12. Using your hands, gently crush tomatoes into small pieces over the sausage.
  13. Sprinkle oregano, basil, and Parmesan on top.
  14. Bake at 500 degrees for about 25 to 30 minutes or until the edge of the crust is crisp and golden brown.
  15. If desired, sprinkle the pizza with sliced mushrooms or chopped green pepper during the last few minutes of baking time.
  16. Let the pizza stand 5 to 10 minutes before cutting.
