How to Make Homemade Pizza

Step-by-Step

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, to form soft dough.
Turn onto floured board.
Knead until smooth and elastic, about 2-3 minutes.
Place in greased bowl, turning once to grease top.
Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes.
Meanwhile, brown beef and onion.
Drain.
Punch dough down.
Divide in half.
Press each into a greased 12 inch pizza pan.
Combine the tomato sauce, oregano and basil.
Spread over each crust.
Top with beef mixture, green pepper and cheese.
Bake at 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until crust is lightly browned.

Yield 2 pizzas.
