Stuffed Crust Pizza
from: Taste of Home {Ashley}
2-2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 pkg. (1/4 oz) quick-rise yeast
1 tsp. salt
1 cup water
2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
8 pieces string cheese
1/2 pound bulk Italian sausage
1 medium green pepper, diced
1 cup tomato sauce
1 tsp. dried oregano
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/8 tsp. garlic powder
1 jar sliced mushrooms
1 1/2 cups (6oz) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
Directions: In a large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, yeast, and salt. In a saucepan, heat water and oil to 120-130 degrees (just use hot water from sink). Add to dry ingredients; beat just until moistened. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Let rest for 5 minutes.
Roll out into a 14 inch circle. Transfer to a greased 12 inch pizza pan, letting dough drape 2 inches over the edge. Place string cheese around the edge of pan; fold dough over cheese and pinch to seal. Prick dough thoroughly with a fork. Bake at 425 for 10 minutes.
Cook sausage and prepare toppings. In a small bowl mix tomato sauce and seasonings, spread over crust. Spread toppings over and bake 15-20 minutes or until cheese is melted and crust is golden brown.
Makes 6-8 slices.

My mom is the best cook I know...
My mom loves to cook. It's what she does best. She loves searching for new recipes just to see what it tastes like {and to find the very best}. Growing up--mom was contantly baking cookies, canning food from our garden, baking bread and homemade salsa, and filling our home with sweet aromas {that I loved}. And now that I'm all grown up and out of the house, I still enjoy going home to see what she's made for us to eat! The purpose of this blog, is to record our family's favorite recipes...and to preserve them for our posterity. I want them to know that cooking is important to us. That it's getting lost in this busy-fast paced and convenient world. I want my family to build talents and abilities that only cooking can bring. So I hope this cookbook will help. Bon Appetit.
