--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   4      cups          unbleached white flour
                        OR a mixture of white and whole wheat
                        -- flour
     1/4  cup           gluten flour
     1/2  teaspoon      salt
     1/2  teaspoon      ground black pepper
     1/4  cup           oil
   1      package       yeast or 1 tablespoon bulk dry yeast
   1 1/4  cups          warm water

Mix the seasonings and oil with the warm water. Add the flours and knead
until as smooth dough results. Allow to rise for 30 minutes or longer to
relax before spreading in a large Chicago style pan or 2 flat pizza pans. Be
sure to use the black pepper as it adds to the flavor.

For Pesto crust, add 2-4 tablespoons of pesto with the oil This makes a good
dough in a bread machine on the dough setting.

Drizzle or brush a light coating of olive oil over the crust. Add the tomato
sauce and toppings. Bake until just beginning to brown, and then add the
cheese(s). This will tend to make a less drippy sauce.
