2 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon dry yeast
1 cup warm (120-130) water
1 tablespoon oil

Topping:

1/4-1/3 cup Italian salad dressing (I reduced to half)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme (optional)
Dash of pepper
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup grated mozzarella cheese

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt and yeast.

In a separate bowl, mix water ad oil together. Add to flour mixture.

Stir well, add more flour if needed to form soft dough.

Place dough on lightly floured surface and knead for 1-2 minutes. or until smooth. Place in a greased bowl. Cover and let rise for 20 minutes.

Knead dough down. Then, place on a 12-inch pizza pan. Roll or pat into a 12-inch circle.

Brush with salad dressing.

Combine seasonings and sprinkle over top. Sprinkle with cheeses.

Bake at 450 F for 15 minutes (Mine took less time) or until golden brown. Cover with foil tent to prevent overbrowning if necessary.

Cut into narrow wedges and serve warm.

Makes 6 servings
