I found this recipe for pizza crust a long time ago but now that Philip is home he is the one that is always making the pizzas. He is more of a perfectionist about his pizza crusts than I am. His have to be perfectly round and he will spend forever making them that way. So he has been fiddling around with this recipe, trying different things with it each time and this time he nailed it! It was perfect...not too soft, not too crispy. Of course my Pampered Chef pizza stone helps a great deal! Seriously....homemade pizza is SOOO much better when it is made on this thing!
Quick and Easy Pizza Crust
(Source: adapted from allrecipes.com)
Ingredients:
1 package active dry yeast
1 teaspoon white sugar (Philip used 1 1/2 teaspoons)
1 cup warm water
2 1/2 cups bread flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
*Philip added a very little bit of Penzey's Pizza Seasoning into the dough. Italian seasoning would work as well.
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a medium bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in wamr water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
2. Stir in flour, salt and oil. Beat until smooth. Let rest 5 minutes.
3. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat or roll into a round. Transfer crust to a lightly greased pizza pan or baker's peel dusted with cornmeal. Spread with desired toppings and bake in preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Let baked pizza cool for 5 minutes before serving.
