Pizza Crust

Makes 2 delicious crusts:

Ingredients:
1 teaspoon yeast
4 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 olive oil (I've used vegetable oil before and this works too)

Directions:

Sprinkle yeast over 1 1/2 cups warm water and let work. In a separate bowl combine the flour and the salt. With an electric mixer on low speed (or if you're poor like me you're using a man powered wooden spoon) drizzle in the oil until just incorporated. Then drizzle in the yeast/water mixture. Mix until the dough forms a ball. Drizzle a little oil into a clean bowl. Toss the ball of dough into the bowl and turn to coat. Cover and set in a warm place for 1 to 2 hours. Use your hands to stretch the dough on your pizza pan. Cover with toppings and bake for 8-10 minutes at 500 degrees.

**tip- I always pre-bake my crust for about 3-4 minutes before covering with toppings. This helps avoid a soggy crust.
