SUBMITTED BY: Therese Judge

"We celebrated our daughter's birthday (during the last Winter Games) with an Olympics theme party that could be adapted for a 2000 Summer Olympics gathering. The symbolic five rings - made from pepperoni - decorate the yummy homemade pizza. -Therese Judge, Westminster, Maryland"

1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup warm water (120 to 130 degrees F)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 (15 ounce) can pizza sauce
4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Ina mixing bowl, combine 2 cups flour, yeast and salt. Add water and oil; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.

Roll the dough into a 16-in. x 11-in. rectangle; transfer to a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Press dough 1/2 in. up the sides of pan. Spread with pizza sauce and sprinkle with cheese. Arrange pepperoni on top in five interlocking circles. Bake at 400 degrees F for 20-25 minutes or until crust and cheese are lightly browned.
