Pizza From Scratch

• 1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
• 1 cup warm water (110u0b0 to 115u0b0)
• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 2-3/4 to 3-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 3/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• 1/2 pound bulk Italian sausage, cooked and drained
• 1 can (4 ounces) mushroom stems and pieces, drained
• 1 medium green pepper, sliced
• 1-1/2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Add the oil, salt, sugar and 2 cups flour. Beat on medium speed for 3 minutes. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
2. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rest in a warm place for 10 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, combine sauce ingredients; set aside. Divide dough in half. On a floured surface, roll each portion into a 13-in. circle. Transfer to greased 12-in. pizza pans; build up edges slightly. Prick dough thoroughly with a fork.
4. Bake at 375u0b0 for 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Spread sauce over hot crusts to within 2-in. of edges; top with sausage, mushrooms, green pepper and cheese. Bake for 20 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.
