Vegetarian Pizza

This is one of our favorites. Even Kurt that is a meat lover, loves this pizza.
With this crust recipe I made 2 small cheese, 1 small pepperoni and 3 small vegetarian pizzas.

Crust
3 Cups of hot water
2 Tbsp of salt
3 Tbsp of sugar
1 Tbsp of yeast
8 cups of flour (give or take)I use 1/2 white and 1/2 wheat

Combine flour, yeast, sugar and salt. Pour the water into that mix. Mix it thoroughly. Continue to add flour until dough cleans the sides of the bowl and is not sticky to the touch. This makes about 3 lbs of dough.

Pre heat oven to 500 with a pizza stone in it.

Use corn meal to make it easier to slide your pizza in and out of the oven.

Topping
Ragu spaguetti sauce
About 6-8 artichoke bottled or canned artichoke hearts cut up.
1 large fresh tomatoes sliced
1/2 small zucchini
1/2 small yellow squash
1/2 small onion
and a little cheese.
Also egg plant. The egg plant I made it separetly for sandwiches and it was left over...
I put olive oil in the frying pan, sliced the egg plant the long way, then sprinkled balsamic vinegar on them with Mrs. Dash. The vinegar made the slices totally dark. Then I baked it in the oven. To that sauce in the pan I added sliced onions and put them in the oven also...then I warmed up tomato slices. It makes a great sandwich with a little horseradish and mayo.

After you put the toppings on the pizza, bake it at 500 for 6-7 minutes.
