Homemade Pizza

• 1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1-1/4 cups warm water (110u0b0 to 115u0b0)
• 1/4 cup canola oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3-1/2 to 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 pound ground beef
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce
• 3 teaspoons dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 medium green pepper, diced
• 2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

1. In large bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in water; let stand for 5 minutes. Add oil and salt. Stir in flour, a cup at a time, until a soft dough forms.
2. Turn onto floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 2-3 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes. Meanwhile, cook beef and onion over medium heat until no longer pink; drain.
3. Punch down dough; divide in half. Press each into a greased 12-in. pizza pan. Combine the tomato sauce, oregano and basil; spread over each crust. Top with beef mixture, green pepper and cheese.
4. Bake at 400u0b0 for 25-30 minutes or until crust is lightly browned.
