Pizza


Prepare crust dough using recipe for breadsticks found on this site under breads and rolls. After allowing to rest for 10 minutes press dough into a greased large round or rectangle pan. Let rise 15 minutes. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake 10 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes. (The crust can be made up to this point, wrapped, and kept at room temperature 1 day ahead of time or frozen, wrapped, up to 3 months.) Meanwhile, raise oven temp to 425 degrees. When crust has cooled, spread with pizza or marinara sauce (canned or prepared using recipe on this site). Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese made from the recipe found on this site under dairy. Sprinkle with other toppings as desired. Return to oven. For a crisper crust remove from pan and bake directly on the rack or on a pizza stone. Bake until cheese melts - 8-10 minutes. Yum!
