World's Best Homemade Deep Dish Pizza (according to Beve)

Pizza Dough:
1 package dry yeast
1 cup warm water
1 tsp. sugar
2 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp. salt
2 Tbsp. oil

Mix the sugar into the cup of warm water and sprinkle in the yeast. Let it proof for 5 minutes, or until foamy.
In a medium mixing bowl, mix the flour with the salt. Add the oil and yeast mixture and stir all together until well incorporated. Set aside to rest for 10 minutes, or until you have browned the ground beef.

Pizza Toppings:
1 pound ground beef
1 tsp. salt

Tomato Topping
1 (16 oz. ) can whole tomatoes, drained
1/2 tsp. onion powder
1/8 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. oregano
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper

Extra Toppings:
1 medium green pepper, thinly sliced
1/2 onion, thinly sliced (optional for one of my kids----you know who you are.)
1 small can of mushroom pieces
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Pre-heat oven to 425°. Lightly grease a 13" X 9" baking dish.
Brown ground beef over medium heat until thoroughly cooked and light brown. Drain grease from beef , sprinkle with 1 tsp. of salt and set aside.
Press the pizza dough on the bottom and half way up the sides of the baking dish. Spread the ground beef evenly over the dough. Spoon the tomato mixture over the ground beef layer. Top evenly with the green peppers, onions and mushrooms. Finally sprinkle with the mozzarella cheese.

Bake in the pre-heated oven fpr 20-25 minutes or until cheese is melted and crust is lightly browned.

Enjoy! Élvez! Piacere! Gustirati! Radosť!
