Italian-inspired lunch idea.

Ingredients

  • 2-2/3 to 3 cups flour
  • 1 pkg. (1/4oz) active dry yeast
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1 tbs. vegetable oil

Sauce

  • 1 (14-1/2oz) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 (6oz) can tomato paste
  • 1 tbs. vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. basil
  • 1/2 tsp. oregano
  • 1/2 tsp. marjoram
  • 1/2 tsp. thyme
  • 1/4 tsp. pepper
  • 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 (3-1/2oz) pkg. pepperoni, sliced
  • 5 (20oz) cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1/4 cup romano cheese, grated

Method

Combine 2 cups flour, yeast and salt.  Add the water and oil, beating until smooth.
Add enough flour to form a soft dough.  Turn onto a floured surface, kneading
until smooth and elastic, about 7 minutes.  Cover and let rise for 10 minutes. 
Combine the tomatoes, paste, oil and seasonings.  Divide the dough in half,
pressing each portion into a greased 15×10x1 baking pan that has been coated
with non-stick cooking spray.  Prick the dough.  bake in a 425 degree oven for
12-16 minutes.  Spread the sauce over the crust, top with pepperoni and cheeses.
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
