Pizza Pie

• 3-1/3 c. flour
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. sugar
• 2 Tbsp. virgin olive oil
• 3/4 c. water
• 1 tsp. yeast or a packet of yeast
• 1/4 c. warm water
• Tomato sauce
• Grated cheese: Parmesan or Mozzarella
• Toppings

1. To prepare dough, mix together the flour, salt and sugar. Place on a flat surface and form a hole in the center.
2. Mix the yeast and warm water and let stand for 10 minutes.
3. Add to the flour mixture and mix until you have a mound.
4. Make a depression in the mound and add 3/4 c. cool water and the olive oil.
5. Mix and knead to form a dough that is elastic and smooth.
6. If you don't achieve "elastic and smooth," use the dough anyway!
7. Put the dough into a greased, floured bowl and let it rest and raise for 30 minutes to an hour. Whether it raised or not, proceed as follows: Cut the dough into 4 pieces and flatten into a circle.
8. Put the pieces into pizza pie tins or separately on a large pizza pan.
9. If using tins, stretch the dough to the edge.
10. If using a large pizza pan, stretch the dough to individual serving size.
11. Spread each circle with tomato sauce.
12. Sprinkle liberally with cheese of your choice. Doctor up your little pizza with whatever you want, be creative!
13. Topping choices include pepperoni, salami, olives, cooked onions, cooked sausage, cooked ham strips, mushrooms, or arugula, the choices are endless.
14. Bake in a 400u0b0 oven for 12-15 minutes, until cheese is melted and your toppings are hot; start checking at 10 minutes.
