Classic Cheese Pizza (Kid-Friendly!)

Ingredients

1 complete batch herbed pizza dough halved and rolled out according to instructions
~1 1/2 C tomato sauce (you'll use it to taste. some like pizza with more sauce)
italian seasoning
garlic powder
salt
black pepper
mozzarella and parmesan cheeses, grated


Instructions

Preheat oven to 500. If using a pizza stone, make sure it's on the lower rack of the oven and has had at least 30 minutes to heat.

Combine the tomato sauce with spices in a saucepan, warming over low heat, adding spices to taste. Spread the desired amount on each pizza and sprinkle with mozzarella; top with shreds of parmesan.

Bake one at a time for 6-8 minutes, until the cheese has melted and just begun to brown. A pizza peel sprinkled with cornmeal is by far the easiest method of placing and extracting the pies.


Note: pizzas may be topped with the usual: mushrooms, olives, onions, roasted red peppers, etc.
