Mama Mia's Pizza
|
Once this pizza came out of the oven and we kids dug into our first slice, Mom would put the pan on top of our wood-burning stove to keep the seconds warm. There were never any leftovers!
As an adult, I introduced Mom to my favorite new pizza toppings, included in this adapted recipe.
|
|
yeast, 1 Package
|
2 1/4 tsp.
|
|
|
Water, lukewarm
|
1 cup
|
|

1 tsp.

2 tbsp.

2 1/2 cup

tomato sauce
|
1 8-oz can
|
|
|
tomato paste
|
1 - 5 1/2 can
|

clove garlic, minced
|
1
|

1 tsp.

Fresh ground pepper, to taste

cooked ground beef, with sautéed onions

shredded mozzarella cheese
|
2 cups
|
|

Roma tomatoes, sliced
|
3-4
|
|
|
Handful of fresh basil leaves
|
|
|
Dissolve yeast in water, then add dry ingredients. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon for 20 strokes. Let dough rest for five minutes before stretching and pressing over a lightly greased cookie sheet. Brush stretched crust lightly with olive oil to keep the sauce from making it soggy.
|
Mix and spread over prepared pizza crust, leaving a ½ inch border.
|
Spread first three toppings over crust and sauce. Bake at 400 F for 20-25 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly. Remove and add sliced Roma tomatoes and basil leaves. Return to the oven for five minutes. Let sit for a few minutes before slicing.
