Pizza Dough

Making homemade pizzas as a family can be fun and productive. We've made them for parties too.

Ingredients:
2 1/2 - 3 C Flour
1 Package Yeast
1/2 t Salt
1 C Warm Water
2 T Cooking Oil or Olive Oil

Directions:
In mixing bowl combine 1 1/4 C flour, the yeast, and salt.

Add warm water and oil.

Add as much of the remaining flour as you can.

For Thin Crust Pizzas don't let it rise, for thicker crust let the dough rise for 30-45 minutes.

Separate dough into two balls, place one on floured (or oiled) surface. (I just clean my counter top really well and do it there. Oil is much easier, but flour is healthier!)

Roll out the dough into a 12-14 inch circle and place it onto a pizza pan, cookie sheet or circle pan.

Add your sauce and your toppings. The possibilities are endless!

My favorite topping combination is tomato sauce, sprinkled with Italian herbs, with pepperoni, mushrooms, onions and covered in mozzarella. Another idea is my barbecue chicken recipe, located over at Arizona Mama.
