-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 1/4 Ounces Active Baker's Yeast -- package
1 Teaspoon sugar
1 1/4 Cups Warm Water/110-115 Degrees
1/4 Cup vegetable oil
1 Teaspoon salt
3 1/2 Cups all-purpose flour
1/2 Pound ground beef
1 Small onion -- chopped
15 Ounces tomato sauce
1 Tablespoon dried oregano
1 Teaspoon dried basil
1 Medium green pepper -- diced
2 Cups Mozzarella cheese -- shredded

In large bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in water; let stand for 5 min.
Add oil and salt. Stir in flour, a cup at a
time, to form soft dough. Turn onto floured board; knead until smooth and
elastic, about 2-3 min. Place in greased bowl, tuning once to grease top. Cover
and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 min. Meanwhile, brown
beef and onion; drain. Punch dough down;
divide in half. Press each into a greased 12" pizza pan. Combine the
tomato sauce, oregano and basil; spread over each crust. Top with beef mixture,
green pepper and cheese. Bake at 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until crust
is lightly browned. Yield 2 pizzas
