Basic Pizza Dough Recipe

Step 1

Mix water yeast and sugar in a bowl and let stand for 1-2 min. Add remaining ingredients and knead the dough for 5-10 min. until elastic. When making the pizza I have found that a pizza stone works best for maintaining a crispy bottom crust. If you don't have a pizza stone try greasing your pan and then dust it with corn meal. Bake the crust by itself (no toppings) for about 10 min. Then top and finish baking.

Things You'll Need

1c Luke warm water
1pk Yeast
1ts Salt (or garlic salt if you wish)
1tb Sugar
1tb Oil
2 1/2c Flour (may need more to make the dough easy to work)
