Lunch: Grandpa's Pizza Bread Recipe

Ingredients

1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
1-1/2 cups warm water (110 ° to 115 °), divided
4 teaspoons sugar
4 teaspoons plus 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
3-1/2 to 4 cups all-purpose flour
Salt and coarsely ground pepper to taste

Instructions

In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in 1/2 cup warm water. Add sugar; let stand for 5 minutes. Add 4 teaspoons of oil, salt, remaining water and 2 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
Punch dough down. Brush a 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan with 1 tablespoon oil. Press dough into pan. Brush with the remaining oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes.
Bake at 375 ° for 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned. Cut in squares; serve warm, or at room temperature.
