SAUCE: Saute carrots, onions, garlic celery in oil
for 5 minutes. Add seasonings saute another 5
minutes. Add sweetener, then add tomato puree simmer
1 to 2 hours. Should yield 7 c sauce.

DOUGH: Dissolve yeast in 1/2 c warm water with
sweetener. Let stand till yeast starts to foam.

Mix flours together combine yeast. Add oil, salt
rest of water. Knead to amke a medium stiff dough.
Divide into two pieces. Lightly oil 2 large
rectangular pans sprinkle with cornmeal. Roll out
each piece of dough to an even rectangular shape. Let
dough rise (about 1 hour). I punched the dough at this
point before baking. Prebake doughs for 5 minutes at
350F or till the gluten sets. Remove from oven.

VEGETABLE TOPPING: Mix vegetables together saute
them in the oil for 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat

TO ASSEMBLE: Spread about 1 1/2 c sauce on each crust.
Add about 3 c of vegetable topping sprinkle 2 ts
spice mixture over the top. If so desired, spread 1 c
shredded soy cheese over the top. Bake at 375F for
about 10 minutes, longer if cooking from cold. (I
found it needed about 20 minutes or longer, so keep an
eye on it).
