Pizza Crust
Source of Recipe
Aunt Saunny
a.. 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
b.. 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar
c.. 1 1/2 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
d.. 1 teaspoon salt
e.. 2 tablespoons olive oil
f.. 3 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
Directions
1 In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast and brown sugar in the
water, and let sit for 10 minutes.
2 Stir the salt and oil into the yeast solution. Mix in 2 1/2
cups of the flour.
3 Turn dough out onto a clean, well floured surface, and knead
in more flour until the dough is no longer sticky. Place the dough into
a well oiled bowl, and cover with a cloth. Let the dough rise until
double; this should take about 1 hour. Punch down the dough, and form a
tight ball. Allow the dough to relax for a minute before rolling out. Use
for your favorite pizza recipe.
4 Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). If you are
baking the dough on a pizza stone, you may place your toppings on the
dough, and bake immediately. If you are baking your pizza in a pan,
lightly oil the pan, and let the dough rise for 15 or 20 minutes before
topping and baking it.
5 Bake pizza in preheated oven, until the cheese and crust are
golden brown, about 15 to 20 minutes.
