List of Ingredients




1 pkg regular yeast (1 1/2 T loose yeast)
1 C lukewarm water
1 1/2 t salt
2 T oil or melted shortening
3 C sifted flour


Recipe



Sprinkle yeast on water and let sit for 5 minutes in large bowl. When bubbly, add oil and salt and mix in about half the flour and beat until smooth. Add remaining flour and mix/knead until smooth and not sticky. Let rest for approximately 5 minutes to allow dough to relax so it will spread more easily.

This dough will cover a 17 x 11 (jelly-roll) pan. Alternatively, it can be used for two smaller pans, either rectangular or circular. Pat gently to the edges which are slightly thicker to retain filling. Let rise in a warm place until about double in thickness.

Arrange fillings of choice on top of sauce that has been spread on the dough and bake at 450F. for 25-30 minutes or until crust is golden brown.

Notes: Raw onions tend to make the toppings rather watery, so it is suggested you pre-cook them in the microwave oven or fry them.
