Quick and Easy: White pizza

Some of us don't like tomato sauce on pizza, preferring toppings that focus on cheese and other ingredients. Elsewhere, assemble-it-yourself pizza shops are common, where you start with a bare round of dough and choose your toppings, including cream-sauce toppings, then take the pizza home to bake. In Hawai'i, tomato sauce-topped pizza is still standard. Here's an alternative.

• 1 medium onion, sliced
• 1 medium green pepper, sliced
• 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 8 ounces roast beef, sliced
• 3 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
• 3/4 teaspoon garlic salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1 loaf frozen white bread dough, thawed
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon crushed garlic
• 4 cups assorted shredded cheeses
• 1/4 cup parmesan cheese

Saute onion, green pepper and mushrooms in 1 tablespoon olive oil until limp. Add roast beef. Saute for 3 minutes. Add worcestershire sauce and seasonings. Cook 2 to 3 more minutes, and remove from heat. Set aside.

Dust work surface with flour, and roll out dough to fit a 10-inch-by-15-inch cookie sheet. Grease cookie sheet. Fit dough into sheet, creating a rim of dough around edges. Brush with 2 tablespoons olive oil, and spread crushed garlic over entire surface of dough. Top with a light layer of shredded cheeses, and then with meat/vegetable mixture. Top with remaining cheeses. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes. Let sit 5 minutes before cutting and serving.
