Kid-Size Pizzas
Dough
1 package yeast
6 cups all-purpose flour (6 to 6 1/2 cups)
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 cups very warm water (125º to 130º degrees)
1/4 cup olive oil, room temperature
Pizza Sauce
1 8-ounce can tomato sauce
1 6-ounce can tomato paste
1 clove garlic, minced
Topping suggestions
Grated Mozzarella or Cheddar
Pepperoni, salami or ham, sliced
Olives, sliced
Tomatoes, onions peppers or other vegetables
In large bowl, combine 5 cups flour, undissolved yeast and salt. Stir very warm water and olive oil into dry ingredients. Stir in enough additional flour to make soft dough. On lightly floured surface, knead until smooth and elastic, about 4 to 6 minutes. Cover; let rest 10 minutes.
Meanwhile prepare tomato sauce: in small bowl mix tomato sauce, tomato paste, oregano and garlic.
On lightly floured surface, divide dough into 16 pieces. Form into smooth balls; roll or pat to 7-inch circles. Place on greased baking sheets.
Top each with 1 1/2 tablespoons sauce and selected toppings.
Bake at 400 degrees F for 25 minutes or until crust is golden. Serve warm.
