Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 to 1 1/2 cups whole-wheat flour
• 1 Tablespoon sugar
• 1 package fast-rising yeast
• 1 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1 cup water
• 2 tablespoons vegetable or olive oil
  For sauce:
• 1 (8-oz) can tomato sauce
• 1/4 cup tomato paste
• 1/2 tsp. each dry oregano, garlic and basil
  For topping:
• 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup grated Cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan or Romano cheese
• Sliced vegetables or meats, as desired

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, sugar, undissolved yeast and salt.
2. Heat water and oil until warm (90-105 degrees). Stir into dry ingredients. Stir in only enough remaing flour to make a rough ball of dough. Turn out onto a floured surface or knead in the bowl. (You may not use all the flour.) If dough is too dry or stiff, knead in 1-2 T. water.
3. Cover; let rest 10 minutes. (Or, refrigerate in an oiled sealed container overnight, punching once and reforming the dough after an hour.)
4. Divide dough in half. Shape each half into a ball. Roll or press each into a 12-14 inch circle. Place on greased pizza pans or baking sheets.
5. Brush or rub with garlic and oil. Prick dough with fork; let rest for 10 minutes.
6. Par-bake crusts at 450 degrees for 5-7 minutes.
7. To make the sauce, combine the tomato sauce, tomato paste, oregano, garlic and basil. Spread the sauce on the par-baked crusts.
8. Top with cheese and additional toppings of your choice. Bake on wire racks at 450 degrees for 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
