PIZZA CRUST AND SAUCES


3 cups warm water
3 heaping Tbs yeast
2 Tbs sugar
1 Tbs salt
6 Tbs
6 cups flour (give or take)

Mix and knead for 8 minutes.  Cover and let raise at least 35-40 minutes.  This makes three sixteen inch pizza crust.  Top with sauce (see below) and all of you favorite meats or vegetables.
Bake at 500 degrees for 8-10 minutes.

PIZZA SAUCE
1 large can of tomato puree
1/4 tsp pepper
1 tsp garlic salt
1 tsp basil
1 tsp oregano flakes
1/2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp onion powder
Combine all ingredients.  Heat and simmer while crust raises. Do not boil.
Now if you so busy you think what a waste of time, do what I do and just mix it up and put in on the pizza. It is delicious either way.


ALFREDO SAUCE
1 pint of heavy cream
3 Tbs butter
2  Tbs cream cheese
1/2 -3/4 shredded Parmesan cheese
In a saucepan combine butter, heavy cream and cream cheese. Simmer until melted and mix well.  Add Parmesan and garlic powder.  Simmer for 15-20 minutes on low.  Makes sauce for 3-4 sixteen inch pizzas. Top pizza with sauce, Mozzarella cheese  and all of your favorites.
Some we love are: Chicken strips, green onion, zucchini, tomato, basil, etc.
If you have some left over dough.  We like to make a dessert pizza.  It is so easy: rub the dough with a large pat of soft butter then sprinkle it with brown sugar and Cinnamon.  Then cook it let it cool and mix up some powdered sugar with water  to make a yummy frosting.  Drizzle over the top, cut and enjoy.
