Recipe: Wildtree Pizza

Ingredients

1 package Wildtree So Quick & Easy Pizza Dough, #10682 or Whole Wheat Pizza Dough, #10684
1 tablespoon Wildtree Grapeseed Oil – Butter, #10282 or Garlic, #10226
½ cup Warm Water, 120° to 130°
14.5 ounce can Tomato Sauce or Crushed Tomatoes
1 cup Mozzarella Cheese
1 Tbsp Wildtree Perfect Pizza Sauce Seasoning, #10755 or Hearty Spaghetti Sauce Blend, #10197
2 cups Vegetables – red, green & yellow peppers, mushrooms, black olives, broccoli, try green olives, artichoke hearts or jalapeno peppers for a little zip

Instructions

Mix 1 tablespoon of the Perfect Pizza Sauce Seasoning with the tomatoes or tomato sauce & let sit for about 1 hour to meld flavors
In a large bowl, whisk pizza dough with 1/2 cup warm, and 1 tablespoon Wildtree Grapeseed Oil (any flavor), until a ball forms.
Turn dough out onto a floured work surface (I use Semolina Flour), and knead for 2 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Cover; let rest on floured surface for 10 minutes. Shape dough into a 12-14 inch circle on a pizza stone or sheet pan.
Bake on the lowest rack in a 450° oven for just 5 minutes.
Remove from oven & poke any air bubbles with a fork. Than add about 1/2 cup of the pizza sauce, followed by vegetables & mozzarella cheese. Freeze the extra pizza sauce for the next pizza, or use on English muffin mini pizzas, or as a dipping marinara for bread sticks etc.
Return to oven for another 5 – 7 minutes, or until crust is golden brown.

Variations

1. Before Wildtree carried the Pizza Sauce Seasoning, this is the recipe we used to make a fabulous pizza sauce.
1 can Crushed Tomatoes, 28 ounce
1 tablespoon Hearty Spaghetti Sauce Blend, #10197
When I use this pizza sauce recipe, I divide the extra sauce into freezer containers & label – 1/2 cup for pizza or 1 cup or more for pasta dishes.

2. To make 8 mini-pizzas, use 2 crust mixes. Follow package directions, & then roll each mix into a flattened ball & cut into 4 equal sections. Roll out & layer the pizza sauce, toppings and cheese. Bake at 450° for 10 minutes. Or bake the crust-only for about 5 minutes & another 7 minutes or so with the toppings.
