Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------- --------------------------------
1 1/2 pk Active dry yeast
1 ts Sugar
1 c Warm water
2 tb Olive oil
1 ts Salt
3 c Bread flour
1 tb Cornmeal
2 15 -1/2-ounc cans tomato
-wedges drained and juice
-reserved
8 oz Mozzarella or Monterey Jack
-cheese
2 Garlic cloves --peeled and
-chopped
1 tb Dried oregano
1 tb Dried thyme
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tb Olive oil

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Lightly grease an 11 x 17-inch baking
pan and sprinkle with cornmeal. Dissolve the yeast and sugar in the
warm water. Place in a mixer bowl or food processor. Add the olive
oil, salt, and enough of the flour, 1/2 cup at a time, to make a soft
dough. Process 1 minute in food processor or knead 10 minutes by
hand, until the dough is elastic and smooth as a baby's bottom. Shape
into a ball. Place in a greased bag, turn to coat, and let rise until
double in volume, about 1 hour. (The dough can be refrigerated for
several hours at this point.) When ready to use, roll out the dough
in a rectangle and fit it into the baking pan. Arrange the tomato
wedges over the pizza dough. Break the cheese into 1-inch chunks and
scatter among the tomato wedges. Sprinkle with the garlic. Drizzle
1/2 cup of the tomato juice over the filling and sprinkle with
oregano, thyme, and pepper. Drizzle with the olive oil. Bake until the
crust is slightly brown on the bottom, 12 to 15 minutes.~ Recipe By
