Ingredients:

1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
1 1/4 cups warm water (110° to 115°)
1/4 cup warm olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 pound ground beef
1 small onion, chopped
1 (15-ounce) can tomato sauce
3 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 medium green bell pepper, diced
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

Directions:

In large bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in water; let stand for 5 minutes. Add oil and salt. Stir in flour, a cup at a time, until a soft dough forms.

Turn onto floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 2-3 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes. Meanwhile, cook beef and onion over medium heat until no longer pink; drain.

Punch down dough; divide in half. Press each into a greased 12-in. pizza pan. Combine the tomato sauce, oregano and basil; spread over each crust. Top with beef mixture, green pepper and cheese.

Bake at 400° for 25-30 minutes or until crust is lightly browned. Yield: 2 pizzas (3 servings each).
