Public Pizza

This recipe is one of the hallmarks of our family! Check this out - little effort - BIG results - you're gonna love this! I found this recipe off a cooking video in the Logan library from the late 80's hosted by a chef/normal guy - this is so devine that I hear Dan Devine loved this recipe too!

Public Pizza

1 T. Yeast
1 & 3/4 C. Hot Water (110 degrees F)
2 T. Honey
1 1/2 t. Salt
2 t. Oil
4-5 C. Flour
1 t. pepper

*Let yeast get going in water with honey. Once it's going add the salt and oil. Then add 2 C. of flour first and beat thoroughly. Add flour 1 C. at a time (i.e. you may not need all the flour). Form this all into a well formed ball. Knead (push, fold, turn) for 10 mins.

Sauce-
1 15oz. can Tomato Sauce
1 T. Italian Seasoning
1/2 t. Garlic Powder
(dash of hot sauce if desired, we don't normally add this)

*warm this and let it cool before using.

Put dough in bowl with a little oil in it. Let this all rise for 40 mins. until dough doubles in size. Punch down and cut 2/3 to use and the other 1/3 for bread sticks. Let dough rest for about 5-10 minutes (allows bonds in the bread to loosen and be able to be molded to the correct shape and size). Grease desired pan with oil. Stretch out dough - coating both sides with oil. Stretch out to get circular shape.

Preheat oven to 475 degrees Fahrenheit.
Prepare pizzas (dough then sauce then toppings and then cheese (a little cheddar with mozzarella is divine))
Pop this all in the oven and check every 5 minutes. Should take around 20-25 minutes to finish. Enjoy!
