Classic Pizza Crust Recipe

Ingredients:

1 package active dry yeast

2 1/2 cups sifted flour

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup warm water

1 tablespoon cooking oil

Directions:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast, 1 cup of flour, and the salt. Mix. Next, add the water

and oil. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds. Scrape the sides of the bowl and continue to beat on

high speed for 3 minutes. By hand, stir in enough flour to make the dough stiff. Knead until

smooth which can take up to 10 minutes. Place in a well greased bowl and turn the dough until it

is lightly greased.

Cover and let rise for about 1 1/2 hours or until the dough has doubled in size. Punch it down and

chill for 2 hours. Cut the dough in half. On a floured surface, roll the halves into 12 inch circle and

about 1/8 inch thick. Brush the surfaces of the dough with olive oil and add the toppings of your

choice. Cook at 425* for 25 minutes.
