Ingredients
  

  • 1 package 1/4 ounce active dry yeast
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1-1/4 c warm water 115°
  • 1/4 c canola oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3-1/2 to 4 c all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 lb ground beef
  • 1 small onion chopped
  • 1 can 15 oz tomato sauce
  • 3 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1 medium green pepper diced
  • 2 c shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

Instructions
 

  • Dissolve the yeast and sugar in the water in a large bowl and set aside for 5 minutes.
  • Once frothy, add in the oil and salt.
  • Gently add in the flour 1 cup at a time and stir together until a soft dough forms.
  • Place the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic (this usually takes around 2-3 minutes).
  • Place the dough into a large bowl lightly greased with oil, cover with a kitchen cloth and leave in a warm and dark place until it has doubled in size (this should usually take around 45 minutes).
  • In a large pan, brown the beef mince and onion, breaking into small crumbles as it cooks.
  • Once cooked, drain the meat.
  • Roll the dough back out of the bowl onto a flat surface and separate it into 2 portions.
  • Press each half of the dough into large greased 12-inch pans.
  • Mix together the tomato sauce and herbs and spread over the dough with the back of a spoon and top with the beef, peppers and cheese.
  • Bake at 400 degrees c for 25-30 minutes and enjoy!
