1 tsp. dry yeast
1/2 cup lukewarm water
1/2 tsp. sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup flour

Sauce:

Possible Toppings:
fish, wild onions, bacon, ham, sausage, pepperjack, cheddar, or mozzarella cheese crumbled or thinly sliced, etc...

Directions:
Dissolve yeast in warm water with sugar and salt. Add flour and mix to
make stiff dough. Oil a fry pan, and spread dough in pan with oiled
fingers to form crust. Turn up edges to hold sauce. Pour sauce over
crust, and top with cheese and any other toppings. Cover and bake on a
stove on low heat until crust is golden brown, about 20 to 25 minutes.
Or you can use a twiggy fire, which helps cook crust from both top and
bottom. Be sure to move the pan in round the clock rotation in quarter
turns to bake all parts of the pizza.

Alternative cooking method: Put crust in pan and cook for about
10 minutes; flip, spread with sauce and cheese, cover, and continue
cooking for another 10 minutes.

Variation: For calzones, spread flattened dough in pan and cover
one half with desired toppings. Fold other half of dough over the top
and pinch edges together to seal in toppings. Cook about 10 minutes on
each side, or use a twiggy fire and bake for about 20 minutes.
