Pizza

You can't go wrong with this homemade pizza!

Pizza Dough: Use this dough and your choice of toppings to make two thin-crust or pan pizzas. (We usually make one and freeze the other dough)

2.75-3.25 cups all purpose flour 1 package active dry yeast 1 cup warm water (120 degrees - 130 degrees) 2 tablespoons cooking oil or olive oil

Directions: 1. In a large mixing bowl combine 1.25 cups of flour, the yeast, and .25 teaspoon salt; add warm water and oil. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed fo 30 secs, scraping bowl. Beat on high speed for 3 minutes. Using a wooden spoon, stir in as much of the remaining flour as you can.
2. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Kneed in enough remaining flour to make a moderately stiff dough that is smooth and elastic (6-8 minutes total of kneading) Divide in half; cover let rest for 10 minutes.

Thin Crust: Crease 12-inch pizza pan or baking sheet. On a floured surface, roll dough into a circle and then transfer to pans. Bake in oven at 425 degrees for about 12 minutes or until brown. Spread sauce onto hot crust; top with your choice of veggies and/or meat and cheese. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
