PIZZA 
1/2 lb. Italian sausage
1 (8 oz.) can tomato sauce
1 med. onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1/2 tsp. dried basil leaves
1/2 tsp. dried oregano leaves
1/4 tsp. pepper
Pizza dough (below)
1 sm. green pepper, chopped
2 c. shredded Mozzarella cheese (8 oz.)
1/4 c. grated Parmesan cheese

Cut sausage into chunks. Cook and stir sausage until light brown; drain. Mix tomato sauce, onion, garlic, basil, oregano and pepper. Prepare pizza dough.

Divide dough into halves. Pat each half into 10" circle on lightly greased cookie sheet with floured fingers. Spread with sauce. Sprinkle with sausage, green pepper and cheese. Bake in 425 degree oven until cheese is bubbly and crust is brown, 15 to 20 minutes.

1 can (about 2 ounces) anchovy fillets, drained and chopped, can be substituted for the cooked sausage.

PIZZA DOUGH:

1 pkg. active dry yeast
3/4 c. warm water, 105-115 degrees
1/2 tsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tbsp. olive or vegetable oil
2 c. all purpose flour

Dissolve yeast in warm water. Stir in sugar, salt, oil and 1 3/4 cups of the flour. Turn onto well floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. (Knead in enough of the remaining flour to prevent sticking.)
