things you will need:
- 1 1/4 c. warm water
- 1 tsp. salt
- vegetable oils or olive oil
- 3 1/2 to 4 c. sifted flour
- 2 packages dry yeasts
- pizza pan or baking sheet
- 1 1/4 c. warm water
- Vegetable Oils Or Olive Oil
- 3 1/2 to 4 c. sifted flour
- Pizza Pan Or Baking Sheet
- 1 tsp. salt
- 2 packages dry yeasts
- Sprinkle the yeast into a medium bowl containing 1 1/4 cup warm water and stir until yeast dissolves.
- Add 2 cups sifted flour and stir until blended.
- Add another 1 1/2 to 2 cups flour and blend until too stiff to stir with a spoon.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it for 10 to 15 minutes until dough is smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in another bowl greased with a small amount of oil. Turn the dough once so that the top is oiled.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and put it in a warm place for about 45 minutes--until the dough rises to about double its original size.
- Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
- Dump the dough back onto the floured surface and punch it down, getting rid of any bubbles. Divide the dough in half and let it rest a few minutes
- Roll each half into a 12-inch circle, depending on your personal preference for how thick pizza crust should be. (It will puff slightly when baked.)
- Transfer the dough to an oiled pizza pan or baking sheet, or, if you have a baking stone, to a cornmeal-sprinkled wooden pizza peel for transfer directly to the stone
- Add sauce, cheese and toppings as desired. If you like, brush exposed edges of the crust with olive oil.
- Bake each pizza for 15 to 20 minutes, or until crust is nicely browned and cheese is melted.
enjoy!!!!
