Pizza

Pizza, Yum.... Tell Me, Who doesn't like Pizza?

Pizza Crust

1 package active dry yeast, or 1 tablespoon
instant yeast
1 1/8 cups warm water
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons oil
3 cups flour

YOur method depends greatly upon which yeast your using. If using regular yeast you must proof it. Mix your yeast with the warm water and sugar. Let stand until bubbly. Add Oil and Salt. Gradually work in as much flour as possibly until you have a stiff dough.

If your using the instant yeast Mix the water, sugar, salt, and oil. Combine yeast and 1 cup flour. Gradually add yeast-flour mixture to water mixture until thoroughly combined. Then proceed in adding flour until a stiff dough is obtained.

Knead dough by hand for 2 minutes. Return dough to greased bowl turning to coat. Let stand in a warm place until doubled in bulk. Spread crust in pan and cover with desired toppings. Bake at 400 degrees until dough is cooked through.


Pizza is always a hit around this house. Last night I ran out of white flour and had to finish with whole wheat flour. It was good this way and Hubby didn't even know it... until I said something about it. .....HUM....
