Pepperoni Pizza

Homemade pizza has been one of the staples in my family for as long as I can remember. When we make pepperoni pizza we always put the cheese on top. This is an excellent recipe that has never failed.

2 1/4 cups warm water
2 Tbsp quick rise yeast
2 tsp salt
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
7-8 cups flour

Dissolve yeast in warm water.  Add salt, sugar, and 3 cups flour. Mix well. Stir in eggs and oil, slowly adding flour. Mix until it becomes a dough that is soft but not sticky. Let dough rest 10 minutes. Divide into about 3 portions and roll out. Bake at 425° for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

This pizza has pepperoni, sausage, green and red peppers, white onions, sliced tomatoes, fresh mushrooms, and black olives. It turned out great!

I also made some garlic and cheese bread sticks. I melted about 2 Tbsp of butter and poured it over top and sprinkled a little bit of minced garlic and garlic salt over it. I topped it with about 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese and baked it at 350° for about 20 minutes.
