I make the dough with 1/2 white and 1/2 wheat flour. It gives the crust more substance and a better flavor. Even my kids and their cousins prefer it this way. I like using olive oil in both the crust and the sauce. Since we only eat one pizza for a meal, I have included two methods for freezing the second one, or you can freeze both for OAMC. NOTE: prep time does NOT include rise time.

SERVES 16 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Pizza Dough

3/4 tablespoon yeast
1 1/2 cups warm water
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons oil
4 cups flour (we prefer half white, half wheat)

Pizza Sauce

1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1/2 cup red wine or water
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon vegetable oil or olive oil
1-2 tablespoon parmesan cheese

Directions

1
In a large bowl, sprinkle yeast over warm water (I add a pinch of sugar) and allow to set until it begins to foam, about 5 minutes.
2
Stir in salt, oil and half of flour. Gradually add remaining flour, mixing well.
3
Knead 8-10 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Place in greased bowl and let rise until double (1/2-1 hour) Punch down and let rise again until double. Punch down and divide. Pat out on two pizza pans.
4
Top with pizza sauce & toppings. Bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
5
Pizza Sauce: Mix all ingredients together, blending well. (You can also add a few sprinkles of garlic powder if you want).
6
Makes enough for two 12 inch pizzas or one 16 inch pizza.
7
Top with meats, cheese and other toppings.
8
To freeze, prepared pizza method: double wrap and freeze the prepared pizza (without baking it) on the pizza pan. Unwrap and bake the frozen pizza at 400°F for about 22 minutes.
9
Alternative freezing method: after first punch down of dough, divide dough and place in a zip-loc bag and place in the freezer. To prepare, remove from freezer and place in a greased bowl. The dough will take about 8-10 hours to thaw and raise slightly. Pat out on grease pizza pan and proceed as directed above. I also freeze half the sauce in a small container for future use.

Phenomenal! I felt like a real pizza chef! The dough was easy to mold into shape- I even picked it up and gave it a toss! I used a bit less oil than indicated. The sauce was amazing with the red wine- so rich and unique, quite a treat

Great, simple dough recipe. I always add a little garlic powder to my dough to give it even more flavor. Haven't tried this sauce since I have an old family recipe, but it seems like it might be a little bland if you don't add some garlic and herbs. Overall, great dough.

This DOUGH RECIPE deserves 'TEN STARS'!! It was AWESOME! So rich and filling! I used exactly as recipe called for 1/2 wheat and 1/2 A/P flour. The sauce was a too sweet for our taste, so I'll need to make some modifications for our personal preference next time. I added pepperoni and olives ~ YUM! BTW, this was my first time making PIZZA (&DOUGH)! I wish recipe poster mentioned that you need to allow to foam in STEP 1. I had to discard my first dough as it had not risen in 2 hrs, and I was getting too impatient. Also, I took another poster's recommendation and cooked pizza dough for 5 MIN prior to adding sauce in order to avoid a "soggy" pizza. Do this but~~~ PIERCE dough so it can steam. Mine ballooned in oven but then settled down when I immediately pierced once I took out of oven. I then added sauce, cheese, and toppings and cooked for 15 minutes. ENJOY! This is a REAL GOOD ONE OVERALL!!!

I love this crust. I made it with 1/2 wheat flour and 1/2 white flour and the texture was better than any I have had out. It was crisp not soggy. I had to make double the batch of sauce because I simmered mine for a while and we kept finding things to dip into it before time to add to the crust. I added a little basil, garlic powder and onion powder to the sauce and it was to die for. I also placed the crust in the oven for about 5 or 6 minutes before adding the sauce. Thanks so much Marg for posting. This was my first home made pizza but it will not be my last.
