How To Make polka dot pizzas - original 1975 recipe

• 1

  Heat oven to 425 degrees. Rub some flour into breadboard to cover about a 10-inch area.
• 2

  Mix the tomato sauce, onion, oregano and pepper in medium bowl with fork.(You'll use this later for a topping.)
• 3

  Mix baking mix and the yeast in large bowl with another fork. Stir in the hot water and beat vigorously until the dough cleans the side of the bowl.
• 4

  Gently smooth the dough into a ball on the floured board. Knead 20 times. Allow the dough to rest a few minutes, then divide the dough into 3 equal parts.
• 5

  Shape 1 part into a ball and place it in the center of ungreased cookie sheet. Rub a little flour on rolling pin and roll the ball into an oval 1/4-inch thick. Pinch the edge to make a little stand-up rim.

  Dip out 1/3 of the tomato sauce mixture (about 2/3 cup) and pour onto the oval. Spread the sauce mixture almost to the edge of the dough with rubber scraper. Sprinkle with 1/3 of the shredded cheese (about 2/3 cup).

  Note: You may want to gobble up the pizzas as they come out of the oven. If not, this is a good bake-ahead recipe. When you're ready to eat, heat the pizzas, 2 at a time, on an ungreased cokkie sheet in a 300 degree oven, about 5 minutes or until hot. The third pizza will be ready by the time you've finished eating the first 2.
