THE pizza

Dough:
1 cup warm water
1 pkg dry yeast
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp salt
2 TB canola oil
2 1/2 cup flour - half white, half wheat

Sauce:
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1 lb, 12 oz. crushed italian tomatoes
6 oz tomato paste
1 1/2 tsp oregano
1 1/2 tsp basil
3/4 tsp salt
1 TB sugar (add more to taste if needed)

Toppings:
Choice of meats and vegetables
Sliced provolone cheese
4 cups finely shredded mozzarella

Preheat oven to 425.
To begin crust, dissolve the dry yeast in the warm water.  Mix all ingredients together.  Let rise 5 minutes before rolling out.

Prepare sauce while dough rises.  In saucepan, mix oil and garlic powder.  Add tomatoes, tomato paste, and seasonings (including sugar).

Roll out dough and cook for about 15 minutes or until crust is slightly browned.  Cover with sauce (above recipe usually makes 2 pizzas).  Add sliced provolone, then shredded mozzarella.  Add all other additional toppings on top of mozzarella.  Cook for about another 10-15 minutes.  Let stand 5 minutes before slicing.
