Pizza

1 cup Milk
1 tsp. Salt
1 Tbs. Sugar
2 Tbs. Shortening
1 Tbs. Yeast
1/4 cup warm water
3 cups flour

Dissolve yeast in warm water. In a small saucepan, scald milk and add to salt, sugar, and shortening in a mixing bowl. Let cool. Mix in dissolved yeast and flour. Let rise, then roll out on a greased pizza pan. Top with pizza sauce and desired toppings. Bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes.

Pizza Sauce:
1 can (8 oz.) tomato sauce
1 tsp. dried oregano
1/2 tsp. dried basil
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/8 tsp. pepper

Mix all ingredients together and spread on pizza dough.

Toppings: mozzerella cheese, pepperoni, ham, pineapple, olives, peppers, sausage, onions, mushrooms, anchovies (just kidding!!)

Hint: want to make BBQ chicken pizza? Spread on BBQ sauce instead of pizza sauce and top with cheese and cut up cooked chicken!
Hint: Want to make whole wheat dough? Instead of 3 cups AP flour, add 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour and 1 1/2 cups AP flour!
