8 oz. sauce
½ tsp. oregano – crushed
½ tsp. basil – crushed
¼ tsp. black pepper
½ tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1 Tbs. parmesan cheese
1 tsp. sugar
Combine in saucepan and simmer for 5 Minutes to blend flavors.

 Dough:
1 pkg. active dry yeast OR 1 TBS from jar                               
1 c. very warm water                                                            
1 tsp. sugar                                                                 
1 tsp. salt                             
2 ½ cups flour + more for kneading

      1. Dissolve yeast & sugar in warm water in medium mixing bowl.

2. Stir in remaining ingredients. Mix well. Dough will be soft & sticky. Dust countertop with flour. Place dough onto counter and KNEAD until smooth and elastic. (About 5 min.) add a little flour if its sticking to the countertop.
