Another 4-H Favorite Food Show

After the last post of Greenwood County's 4-H Favorite Food Show, I was visiting with my Wilson County relatives who shared this recipe and photo which was a winner there.
Pizza is a popular summer food and this recipe makes a quick supper, especially if you've prepared and refrigerated the crust ahead of time. Of course, our favorite topping is ground beef, but it could be varied to choose your favorites.

This entry is planned for a summer birthday party. Doesn't she look patriotic?

Brown ‘n Serve Pizza

1 cup warm water (105-115°F)

1 pkg dry yeast

1 tbsp. sugar

2 tbsps. Vegetable oil

1 ½ tsp salt

2 tbsp. water

2 ¾ – 3 ¼ c. all-purpose flour (to increase fiber half the flour can be replaced with whole wheat flour)

Measure warm water into a large warm bowl. Sprinkle in yeast; stir until dissolved. Stir in sugar, oil, salt, and 1 ½ c. of flour; beat until smooth. Add enough additional flour to make a stiff dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Place in greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover; let rise in warm place, free from draft, until double in bulk, about 45 minutes. Punch dough down, divide in half. Roll and stretch each half into a 13-inch round. Place in a 2 ungreased pizza pans, pressing around edge to form a standing rim of dough. Bake at 350°F oven for 10 minutes. When cool, wrap tightly and store in refrigerator up to 6 days. To serve, unwrap and place on ungreased pizza pan. Top with your favorite toppings. Bake at 425°F oven 15-20 minutes.
