Dad's Friday Night Pizza

Combine flour, sugar, and yeast in a large bowl. Add warm water and olive oil; stir with a wooden spoon to combine well.

Cover with a clean dishtowel and/or set in a warm place to let rise about 20 minutes.

When risen, transfer the dough to a floured surface. Flour your hands and the dough before kneading a couple of times.

With a pizza cutter, divide the dough into three pieces; set two pieces aside.

Knead one pie again before shaping into a small, flat circle. Roll the dough out with a rolling pin, being careful to retain a circle shape (if the dough starts sticking, try flouring the rolling pin as well).

Carefully place the dough in a 12-inch pizza pan, trimming with a pizza cutter if needed.

Repeat steps 5-6 for the other two pieces of dough.

Combine the sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Spread evenly on each pizza with the back of a spoon.

Sprinkle the shredded cheese on each pizza, along with any desired toppings.

Bake each pizza at 425 degrees F until the cheese starts to brown on the edges.

Let cool a bit before slicing and serving.

Try using any leftover ingredients to make a miniature pizza.
