Gotten from my mom:

Pizza sauce

Ingredients

• 1 can of whole peeled tomatoes, milled
• About a tbsp of olive oil
• Some garlic (2 to 3 cloves), cleaned and chopped/pressed

Steps

1. Put ingredients together into large enough pot
2. Cook for 20 minutes or so

Pizza (includes dough)

Ingredients

• 4 cups flour
• 1 envelope yeast (2 and 1/4 tsp yeast from jar)
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1 cup water
• 1 tsp salt
• Pizza sauce (see above. Can be made while dough is rising, because dough takes a while)
• Shredded mozzarella
• Pepperoni (optional)

Steps

1. Boil water with salt in it.
2. Let water cool to lukewarm
3. Add yeast and oil
4. Mix flour and water/yeast mixture as if making bread
5. Put in bowl and let rise for 2 to 3 hours until it doubles in size (less time if using rapid rise yeast)
6. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
7. Flatten dough evenly on to cookie sheet (probably greased cookie sheet) (may take two cookie sheets)
8. Add tomato sauce, oregano, spices to taste
9. Bake in oven for 15 minutes
10. Remove pre-baked pizza from oven.
11. Add shredded mozzarella to hot pizza. If adding pepperoni, add it between layers of mozzarella.
12. Return to oven and bake until cheese is melted

Potato Pizza

Ingredients

• Pizza dough from regular pizza recipe
• Potatoes, boiled but not totally cooked and sliced thin
• Olive oil
• Rosemary

Steps

1. Make dough as with a normal pizza
2. Instead of covering with tomato sauce, put a layer of olive oil on pizza instead.
3. Add layer of potato slices
4. Sprinkle with rosemary
5. Bake in 350 degree oven for about 15 minutes

Notes

Put together, you can come out with a cheese (or pepperoni) pizza and a potato one. My grandma used to do this a lot. The potato one was designated as for the adults because us kids were brats and wouldn't eat it. :)
