I've spent years trying to come up with the perfect pizza crust and sauce, and they're paired up in this recipe. I fix this crispy, savory pizza for my family often, and it really satisfies my husband and sons. —Susan Lindahl, Alford, Florida

Ingredients

2-3/4 to 3 cups all-purpose flour
1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup warm water (120° to 130°)
1 tablespoon canola oil
SAUCE:
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon each dried basil, oregano, marjoram and thyme
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon pepper
PIZZAS:
1 package (3-1/2 ounces) sliced pepperoni
5 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup grated Romano cheese

Directions

In a large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, yeast and salt. Add water and oil; beat until smooth. Add enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 5-7 minutes. Cover and let stand for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine tomatoes, tomato paste, oil and seasonings.
Divide dough in half; press into two 15x10x1-in. baking pans coated with cooking spray. Prick dough generously with a fork. Bake at 425° until lightly browned, 12-16 minutes.
Spread sauce over crusts; top with pepperoni and cheeses. Bake until cheese is melted, 8-10 minutes. Cut into squares.
