Pizza Dough

1 T. yeast

1 T. sugar

1 cup warm water

1 tsp. salt

2 cups flour

Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Mix yeast mixture with half the flour. Add the salt and the rest of the flour. Add more flour if needed but keep dough until just manageable. Knead or mix with bread mixer until smooth. Cover (you can coat the dough with olive oil if you want so it won't stick to the bowl) and rest in warm place for 20 minutes. Roll out on pizza pan and add sauce and topping.

I cook my pizzas at 500 degrees on the lower rack to get the bottom crispy and then put it on the middle rack at the end of cooking. Bake until edges are golden brown and cheese is beginning to brown.
