1. In 10-inch (25.4 cm) skillet, brown meat over high heat. Drain fat, if necessary. Add onion and
garlic. Sauté 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in tomato sauce, spices and salt and pepper.
2. In large bowl or food processor, combine flour, yeast, sugar and salt. Add water and vegetable
oil. Process or stir vigorously until ingredients are well blended. Let dough rest 10 minutes.

13”x9” (33 x 23 cm) baking pan and shape crust partially up sides of pan to form crust edge.
