Makes two 9" pizzas.
Ingredients
2 pkgs deep-dish pizza crust mix
1 cup hot water
2 tbsp EVOO
1 green pepper, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1 tbsp minced garlic
2 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella
1 (26 oz) jar marinara sauce
other toppings: pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, etc
Place oven rack in lowest position; preheat oven to 475˚F. Grease two 9" round cake pans.
Combine both packages of crust mix and hot water in large bowl. Stir until well blended. Divide dough in half; shape each half into ball. (If dough is too sticky, add 1-2 tbsp flour). Brush each with 1 tsp oil. Cover; let sit for 5 minutes.
Press dough in bottom and sides of greased pans. Generously prick dough with fork. Bake for 5 minutes. Remove from oven.
Heat EVOO in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add green peppers, onions, and garlic and sauté 5 minutes. Add oregano and salt; sauté 1 minute. Remove from heat.
Spread half of sauce over each prepared crust. Top each crust with half of vegetable mixture. Add other toppings. Sprinkle cheeses evenly over pizzas.
Bake an additional 10-15 minutes or until crust is golden brown and toppings are heated.
