ALL MEAT PIZZA

Adapted from http://www.laurenslatest.com/fail-proof-pizza-dough-and-cheesy-garlic-bread-sticks-just-like-in-restaurants/
yield: 2-18 inch pizzas, approximately 1 lb. of dough

Pizza Dough Ingredients:
2 cups warm milk
4 ½  teaspoons active dry yeast
2 tablespoons sugar

¼ cup sugar
2 teaspoons salt

1  - 2 teaspoons Garlic Herb Mrs. Dash
4 tablespoons olive or canola oil
6 cups bread flour {give or take 1/2 cup…depending on the heat & humidity}

Pizza Dough Directions:
In a large mixing bowl, stir yeast and sugar into warm milk. Sit for 5-10 minutes or until bubbles form and mixture starts to foam. This tells you that the yeast is alive and kicking. Pour in salt, oil and half the flour and mix.

Once that flour is incorporated, start adding flour in bit by bit until you get the pizza dough to the consistency you want: slightly tacky, but when you touch it it doesn’t stick to your hands.

Either by hand or with the bread hooks on your mixture, knead the dough for approximately 6 minutes until it easily comes away from the bowl.

The dough should be smooth and easy to work with. And the bowl should be clean!

Lightly grease the bowl & the dough so it doesn’t dry out, cover with plastic wrap and let it rise 1-2 hours.

Divide the dough into two balls. Prepare your pan (if not using a baking stone) with baking spray…then sprinkle corn meal on it.  Shake the excess cornmeal off of it. 

 Roll out the dough into 2 circles and place on a greased pizza stone or pizza pan.  Let rest for 10 minutes.  Prick the dough with a fork.

Pizza Ingredients:

2- 3 Tablespoons Pizza Sauce (I use Contadina Easy Squeeze Pizza Sauce)

1 – 2 Cups Reduced Fat Mozzarella Cheese (or cheddar / jack cheese)

1 – 2 Cups Reduced Fat Cheddar Cheese

Pepperoni slices (I like the mini pepperoni slices that I can find at Walmart)

2 packages Canadian Bacon

5 sausage links

Pizza Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 F degrees. Cut the Canadian Bacon circles in half (if desired).  Cut the sausage into disks

With a Pastry Brush, brush pizza sauce onto the circles of pizza dough.  Top with cheese, then Canadian bacon, then pepperoni, then sausage. 

Bake in a 375 F degree oven for 15 to 20 minutes.  Checking it after 10 minutes.  After 10 minutes, Rotate pizza in oven for more even baking.
