- ⅛ tsp White Pepper

Instructions
- Add all your dry ingredients to a bowl.
- Add your yeast to your water and let sit for 10 to 15 minutes. You can also opt to just add the yeast directly into the rest of the dry mixture.
- Add in your olive oil. This step is optional, but using olive oil results in a softer crust.
- Knead all your ingredients together to form a dough.
- Add a little olive oil to your bowl to minimize sticking.
- Cover your dough and let rise for 45 mins to 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- On a clean surface or mat, sprinkle a little flour and knead your dough for 10 minutes.
- Flatten your dough by hand or a rolling pin into your desired shape.
- Meat - add 1 lb extra lean ground beef to a pan on medium low heat. Mix in 1/2 tsp of each seasoning: meat seasoning, salt, garlic powder, onion powder and mustard powder. Add in 1 small yellow onion (diced) and cook for 7-8 minutes until the meat is no longer pink. Mash the meat into small pieces with a potato or meat masher. Add in 1-2 tbsp water to keep the meat from being too dry.
- Sauce - mix crushed tomatoes, meat seasoning, paprika, garlic powder, white pepper and sugar. Spread out your sauce across the dough, leaving about 1 inch from the edge.
- Top with 60g (1/2 cup) shredded mozzarella, then 1/3 of your meat mixture (save the rest). Finish with 60g each of cheddar and mozzarella.
- Bake in a 425F preheated oven for 15 mins.
- Cool for 10 minutes before cutting.
