1 pkg Pizza Crust Packet - Gluten Free 1.5C warm water 2 Eggs 2tps Olive Oil Yeast Packet

In a bowl we mixed the yeast packet and the water and let it set fr a little while

Then we put the rest in except the crust dough and mixed it with a mixer

Then we added the pizza crust and continued to mix

Then we kneaded the dough into two balls and let it sit for 20 minutes

While it sat we made the sauce

1 can crushed tomatoes 1 can of tomato paste finely chopped green onion garlic salt sugar dried basil <span style="color: #222222; display: block; font-family: arial,sans-serif;">THE SECRET INGREDIENT - Brown Sugar

<span style="color: #222222; display: block; font-family: arial,sans-serif;">We warmed the sauce on the stove

<span style="color: #222222; display: block; font-family: arial,sans-serif;">After 20 minutes, we pressed the dough ball onto the pizza pan

<span style="color: #222222; display: block; font-family: arial,sans-serif;">We cooked it in the oven on High(around 425) for about 5 min then took it out of the oven

<span style="color: #222222; display: block; font-family: arial,sans-serif;">We then covered the crust with sauce and toppings, including lots of cheese

<span style="color: #222222; display: block; font-family: arial,sans-serif;">We then returned it to the oven until it looked ready about 20minutes media type="file" key="UnitedStatesofAmerica.mp3" width="240" height="20" Before research...my **beginning** and my **first** questions Where any presidents of the USA born in Virginia?
