1. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. 2.

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth and
elastic (about 10 minutes); add enough of remaining flour, 1 T at a time,
to prevent dough from sticking to hands. 4. Place dough in a bowl coated
with cooking spray; turn to coat top. Cover; let rise in a warm place
(85°), free from drafts, 30 minutes or until doubled in bulk. 5. Preheat
oven to 450 °. 6. Punch dough down; roll dough into a 12-inch circle on a
lightly floured work surface. Place dough on a baking sheet or 12-inch
pizza pan coated with cooking spray and sprinkled with cornmeal. Crimp
edges of dough to form a rim. Let dough stand, covered, 10 minutes. 7.
Place a small saucepan coated with cooking spray over medium heat until
hot. Add garlic, and saute 2 minutes. Add 1/4 t salt, oregano, cilantro,
fennel seeds, pepper, and tomato sauce; reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered,
20 minutes or until mixture is thick, stirring occasionally. Spread sauce
over pizza crust; sprinkle with cheese. Bake at 450° for 10 minutes or
until cheese is melted and crust is golden. Remove pizza to cutting board;
cut into wedges.

NOTES : This pizza is our version of the ones served in the romantic comedy
by the same name.  In it, Leona, the owner of a local pizza parlor, closely
guards her family sauce recipe that's made with a sweet blend of Portuguese
spices.  Julia Roberts plays a waitress who dates Adam Storke.
