Pizza Anyway You Like It

Pizza at the Bradys is a regular occurrence, so I had to post it. We make it a variety of ways.... cheese only, vegetables only, sausage, pepperoni, BBQ chicken. Here are the basic tenets and you can add whatever toppings you'd like. I'll add some tips at the bottom for variations.

Pizza Dough
from Julie Knight
(makes 1 pizza pie)
1 cup warm Water
1 tsp. Yeast
1 TBSP. Sugar
3 TBSP. Salt
3 cups Flour
Add ingredients in order. Mix well. Rise 1 hour. Roll out dough and put in pan. (We spray the pan with oil and then sprinkle the pan with cornmeal- can't remember where we got that tip.)

Pizza Sauce
from Gayle Johnson
(makes sauce for 1-2 pizzas)
2- 8oz. cans of Tomato Sauce
1/2 Onion diced
1/2 tsp. Oregano
1 tsp. Basil Leaves
1/4 tsp. Garlic Powder
1/8 tsp. Pepper
Cut up onion (you can saute the onion first to shorten cooking time). Mix together all ingredients and simmer 1 hour. Wait to add to pizza dough until sauce is no longer hot so it does not kill the yeast in the dough.

Finishing the Pizza
We put mozzarella cheese on the sauce and then add our favorite toppings. Peppers, Mushrooms, Tomato, Olives, Sausage, Pepperoni, spinach, pineapple, ham, etc.
Bake 425 degrees on bottom rack of oven for 12-15 minutes (more or less depending on your oven).

Variations
Pesto Pizza- for sauce we use pesto and add cheese, spinach, and chicken.
BBQ Pizza- for sauce we use BBQ sauce from a bottle and add cheese and chicken.
