Ingredients

Pizza Dough:

2 packages cake or dry yeast
2 tablespoons sugar
2 cups lukewarm water
3 1/2 to 4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup olive oil

Pizza Sauce:

4 cups ground pear tomatoes
1/2 cup ground onions
1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon sugar
1 rablespoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Cheese Topping:

1/2 pound mozzarella, grated
1/2 pound Jack cheese, grated

Directions

Dough:

Sprinkle the yeast and sugar in the lukewarm water, let sit until yeast bubbles up (approximately 5 minutes). Add 3 1/2 cups of the flour and salt. Mix the dough and knead until smooth. Add more flour, if needed. Make into a ball. Put into a bowl, cover and let dough rise and double in volume, about 45 minutes.

Pizza Sauce:

Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Put aside until pizza dough is ready.

Cheese Topping:

Toss cheeses together.

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

Once dough is risen, cut into 2 pieces and roll out to desired sizes. Top with sauce, cheese and your favorite toppings. Bake for 20 minutes, until crust is a golden brown.
