Homemade Hawaiian Pizza

Pizza Crust

Makes a cookie sheet sized pizza

5 tsp yeast

1/2 tsp sugar

1 1/2 C warm (110 degrees) water

3 1/2 C flour (3 cups first, then as needed)

1 tsp salt

Dissolve yeast and sugar in water and let rest for 8 minutes. In a separate bowl, combine flour and salt. Pour yeast mixture over flour mixture and mix well. Lightly grease and flour cookie sheet. Knead dough for 2 minutes. Roll onto cookie sheet. Stretch to edges. Bake at 500 degrees fahrenheit for 8-12 minutes or until edges are golden brown (Diane). Or bake at 425 degrees for 15-20 minutes (Amelia).

Toppings

I use 1 can tomato sauce and 1 TBS italian seasoning (I buy the green container, 50 cents at Walmart) as my pizza sauce. For Hawaiian style I use most of 1 can of pineapple tidbits (88 cents on sale) and leftover ham from ward parties or Christmas/Easter. Then I sprinkle on about 2 cups of cheddar cheese (cheaper).

Thanks to Diane and Amelia for the recipe and Maren for putting together the ward cookbook.
