Pizza Crust Recipe

1 package regular or quick active dry yeast

1 cup very warm water (105-115 degrees) - I just wait until my sink water is the hottest it'll go

1 tsp sugar

1 tsp salt

1 Tbsp veg or olive oil

2 1/4 to 2 1/2 cups all-purpose or bread flour

Dissolve yeast in warm water.  Stir in oil, 1 cup flour, sugar, and salt.  Beat until smooth.  Stir in remaining flour, plus a little more if needed, to make dough easy to handle.  Turn dough onto lightly floured surface, knead five minutes or until smooth and elastic.  Place in greased bowl, turn dough ball over so greased side is up.  Cover with damp towel and stick in your oven with ONLY the oven light on for 30-40 minutes or until almost double.  

Voile! Enough dough to make 2 large pizzas. :) Just roll or smoosh out with your fingers.  Brush crust with butter and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and garlic salt.  Bake for 5 minutes.  Layer toppings and return to oven until cheese is completely melted.

It was DELICIOUS!!
