Pizza Recipe 1

My wife and I like to have Pizza at least once a week.  We typically make the dough and sauce from as close to scratch as can be assumed for modern city dwellers.  She likes a variety of cheeses, I tend to also add a few veggies.

Dough:
2 cups flour (bread flour if you have it)
1/4 cup Semolina flour
1 tbs Oregeno
1 tbs Basil
1 tbs Dry Active Yeast
1/4 tsp Diastatic Malt Powder
1 tsp Salt
2 tbs Olive Oil
1 cup Warm water

1) Mix everything and kneed until consistent.
2) Cover with oiled plastic wrap or a damp cloth.
3) Wait 30 minutes.
4) Punch down.
5) Separate into 2 dough balls.
6) Role each dough ball until thin in two large pans.  (I recommend using baking paper)

7) Preheat oven to 400F

Sauce:
6 oz. Tomato paste
3-4 cloves garlic
1 tbs Oregeno
1 tbs Basil
1 tbs Olive Oil
1 tbs Basalmic Vinegar
