This recipe has been a real hit with the campers and we can use some of the delicious fresh herbs from our garden to make the sauce. Yum!
Pizza
For the dough:
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 ¾ teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup water
For the sauce:
4 cups tomato sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ onion, chopped
¼ cup grated parmesan
¼ cup olive oil
½ chopped red bell pepper
Fresh basil, chopped
Fresh oregano, chopped
To make the dough, simply mix all the ingredients together in a bowl until you have the correct consistency. Add more flour if the dough is too sticky. Then roll it out on a floured surface.
For the sauce, brown the onion, bell pepper and garlic in a saucepan with the olive oil and then cook for 15-20 minutes on a low heat. Then add the tomato sauce and let it simmer for 15-20 more minutes. Add the parmesan, salt, fresh ground pepper and herbs and let it simmer for another 15 minutes. After this time all the flavors will have infused and you will be left with a thick, rich sauce.
Spread as much of the sauce as is to your liking onto the rolled pizza dough. Top with cheese and your favorite toppings and then bake at 400 degrees until the edges are just brown.
