Recipe
In a 1 cup measuring cup add warm (not too hot or yeast will not rise) water to the packet of yeast with 1 tablespoon of sugar. Stir well and let stand for 5 minutes or until the yeast starts to rise. Meanwhile...blend well all the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Make a well in center of flour mixture. Add oil.
Add yeast and mix by hand with a large spoon. Let rise in bowl for 45 minutes or till doubled in size. Punch down and let rise again. Split dough in half and spread on greased (olive oil) large round cookie sheet. Keep hands floured as you spread dough to ends of cookie sheet. Make holes all over dough with fork.
Bake in 425: preheated oven (second rung) for 15 minutes. Remove from oven.
In a medium bowl add 1 cup prepared pizza sauce (you have to add more of the same ingredients to it or it tastes flat) a tablespoon of sugar, olive oil, pinch of salt, black pepper, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, Parmesan cheese, basil. Mix well. Spread on top of dough up to an inch from edge. Add chopped onions, chopped green peppers, sliced mushrooms, cooked Italian Sausage (cooked ground beef is great too) shredded, shredded Mozzarella cheese all over top and sprinkle rosemary leaves all over top. Don't over do the rosemary leaves 1 teaspoon is fine.
Bake again for 15 minutes or till the cheese has melted nicely but not burnt or brown. Remove from oven and let cool five minutes before cutting into squares or slices.
Do not let pizza sit for long period before baking as dough will get soggy and stick to pan. Cook right away. Test your oven as temps may vary.
