Terrific Homemade Pizza

Created by Red Apple Guy on February 7, 2015

18 ounces plum tomatoes (crushed, Well drain liquid from 28 oz canned crushed tomatoes with a strainer)
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
8 to 10 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese (we like Kraft)
102 grams cherry tomatoes (6 tomatoes, halved - optional)
2 1/2 ounces sliced pepperoni
3 ounces Italian sausage (out of casings, mild)

FOR THE DOUGH
Step 1: Add ingredients in the order given in a bread machine and use the dough cycle or --
Step 2: Mix in a large bowl until all ingredients are wetted, cover and let rest 10 minutes.
Step 3: Knead for 5 minutes by hand using a minimum of flour and place in a straight sided container that has been oiled and cover.
Step 4: After 20 minutes, tip dough onto a lightly oiled counter and stretch into a rectangle. Fold the top down and the bottom up letter-style and do the same side to side. Replace into the container and cover.
Step 5: After the dough has risen to twice it's volume, tip the dough onto a lightly floured counter and divide into 2 pieces forming each into a ball. Cover with oiled plastic and let rest 5 minutes.
FOR THE PIZZAS
Step 6: Stretch each dough ball into a 10" disk. If the dough shrinks after stretching, wait 5 minutes and stretch some more.
Step 7: Move each dough piece to parchment paper.
Step 8: Preheat oven (preferably with a pizza stone) to 500°F and let dough rise for 15 minutes.
Step 9: Cover dough with toppings and let rise for 15 more minutes.
Step 10: Bake each pizza separately for 4 minutes. Turn the pizza for even cooking and bake until the dough is browned some, and the cheese is bubbly (about 2 more minutes).
