Pizza Dough


Probably once a week I make pizza for dinner.
I can make it faster than it can be delivered
and it costs cents to make.  

Pizza Crust
Make a single batch for thin crust or
double batch for thick...

1 cup warm water
1 Tbsp. active dry yeast
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1 tsp. salt
2 1/2 cups flour

Preheat oven to 425oF.
Mix all ingredients in a bowl.  Add more flour if needed
until dough pulls cleanly away from the side of the bowl.
Turn out onto floured surface and knead until smooth.
Press onto greased round pizza pan.
If making thick crust, bake crust without toppings for 
10 minutes.  Remove from oven, top with favorite toppings
and return to oven for another 8 - 10 minutes.
For thin crust, there is no need to pre-bake.  Just top uncooked
crust and bake for about 15 minutes.
