Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/3 cup warm water
  • 1 pkg dry yeast
  • 3 ½ cups flour approximately
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 3 cups tomato sauce
  • 3 cups grated mozzarella cheese
  • 3 tsp oregano crushed

Instructions 

  • In 1/3 cup warm water dissolve the yeast, and let stand for 5 minutes.
  • Add about 2 cups of the flour, 2 tablespoons oil, 1 cup warm water, and the salt, and beat. Add more flour, mixing well, until the dough holds together in a rough mass. Lightly flour a board or work surface and knead the dough for 10 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
  • Put in an oiled bowl to rise, covered with plastic wrap. When the dough has doubled in bulk, about 2 hours, punch it down and divide in thirds. Let rest for 5 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 450°F. Roll the dough with a rolling pin or stretch it over your fists until you have three 14-inch circles. Place on pizza pans or cookie sheets and prick all over. On each circle, spoon 1 cup tomato sauce; sprinkle with 1 cup mozzarella and 1 teaspoon oregano. Drizzle with about 2 tablespoons olive oil.
  • Let rest another 10 minutes and then bake for about 18 - 20 minutes, until lightly browned. To test for doneness, lift an edge-if the bottom has turned golden, it is probably done.
