PIZZA DOUGH-1960'S STYLE 
1 1/4 cup warm water
1 pkg dry yeast
2 tsp sugar
1 cup semolina flour
2 cups bread flour
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 tbsp. olive oil

Use your bread machine. I preheat the pot with hot water. Put in warm water, yeast and sugar. Stir and let sit 15 minutes to get yeast going.

Add: flours and salt on top of the yeast mixture. Set bread machine for 1 pound of bread and start the machine. After 15 minutes and when the dough looks elastic, pour very slowly the olive oil over the dough and let mix about 10 more minutes (about 20 minutes total mixing in machine).

Turn off the machine and let the pizza dough rise to about 2 inches from top or until it looks bubbly.

Grease a large cookie sheet with shortening and sprinkle with corn meal.

When dough has risen, press it into the pan (oil fingers). Dough will be very soft and will spread easily. I put it in the oven to rise again. When risen again, fork the edges to make crust and down the middle in a few rows to keep from bumps when baked.

Bake at 375°F for about 20 minutes until lightly brown and baked. Remove and cool.

Sauce: 1 can Italian Marzano whole tomatoes. Use a hand blender and crush. Sprinkle with a small amount of dry basil and marjoram or oregano leaves.

Microwave on high for 2 minutes. Assemble pizza, bake and cut into squares. Delicious - like the 60's in Pennsylvania towns.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
