I would hesitate to call myself a cook except for pizza which has been my specialty for 45 years.

That calls for a Homemade pizza recipe request! Please!

For the sauce I use one 8oz can of tomato sauce and one 6oz can of tomato paste. I add garlic, salt, pepper and oregano. This makes about six pizzas (I freeze the rest in individual containers for next time). Two tablespoons of sauce for one 15" dia. crust. is plenty. I put a thin layer of shredded Parmesan cheese on the sauce and then add ingredients and cover with about a pound of shredded mozzarella. Sausage and pepperoni are the only ingredients that go on top of the mozzarella (pepper slivers are ok on top for beautification).

Ingredients are depending upon personal taste, but if you've never tried, put diced shrimp on about 1/2" thick for a seafood delight. Canadian bacon, pineapple and sliced peppers are another personal favorite but I know pineapple offends the sensabilities of many.

For the crust, I use 3 cups of King Arthur bread flour and 1/2 cup of smelly Lena flour (semolina), 1 cup warmish water, 1/4 cup of EVOO, 2 tablespoons of honey, 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 2 tablespoons of yeast (yes, I know that sounds like a lot). This goes into the bread maker on the dough setting. Add water or flour to get the correct consistency. Knock it down at least twice.

This makes two crusts, I freeze one for next time.
