- Prepare two bowls and brush the insides with olive oil..
- Stretch the dough and roll. Repeat up to five times then put unto the bowls. Lather the doughs with excess oils in the bowls. Cover the bowls with cling wraps and put in a warm, dry place such as the oven/microwave (turned off) for 2hours..
- To make the sauce, combine the tomato sauce, basil, peppers, salt and sugar. You may opt to add ketchup if you wish. Mix well and taste test..

- Sauté the ground beef and garlic and onion. When cooked, set aside..
- After 2 hours from setting aside, the doughs should look like it increased in size. Use one dough if you're making inmy one pizza and keep the other one in the ref for later use. Knead it with your hands. Roll it. Dust your working area with flour to precent the dough from sticking..
- Lay the dough flat in your working area. Make a ridge on the outsides about half an inch and continue pushing with your fingers or knuckles from the center of the dough outwards. The dough should be more flat and bigger by this time..
- The dough should be about 7in by this time. Close your fist and put the center of the dough on it. With both your fists, rotate the dough repeatedly. This stretches the dough. Stop until it's stretched and about 9in..
- Lay the stretch dough flat again in your working area or a 9in pan. Get the sauce you prepared and spread it across with the back of a spoon..
