Aunt Kristie's Pizza

This is the pizza recipe that my mom has always used. It is super delicious, and I think it's a recipe everyone should have. I also use the same dough recipe for scones when we want Navajo Tacos. It's a quick and easy recipe, and tastes great, too! (for scones, just roll out the dough, cut into squares the size you desire, and cook in hot oil on both sides)
The recipe makes about 4 large pizzas, so we usually half the recipe and make either two pizzas or one pizza and scones the next day. 

The Pizza Dough:
3 1/2 c. hot water
3 T. yeast
3T. sugar
1/4 c. powder milk
1/4 c. oil
2 1/2 tsp. salt
about 9 c. flour

Dissolve the yeast in the hot water, add the sugar. Next mix in the powder milk, oil, and salt. Add flour, about a cup at a time, as you mix. Add enough flour to be able to handle the dough, but remember that the less flour you put, the lighter the crust will be.

The Sauce:
12 oz. can tomato paste
1 can tomato pure
2 tsp oregano leaves
1 tsp. onion salt
1 tsp. seasoned pepper

If you half the crust recipe, remember to reduce the sauce recipe as well. I usually just use a small can of tomato paste and a small can of tomato sauce, then season to taste with the listed seasonings.

So yeah. Then just top with all the good stuff, and plenty of cheese. Bake at 450 degrees for about 12 minutes.
Enjoy!
