Preparation

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl (remember dough doubles in size when it rises), dissolve the yeast and brown sugar in the water, and let sit for 10 minutes.  Then add the salt, spices, and the oil and wisk so that everything is mixed together well.  Mix in the 2 1/2 cups flour until you’ve got some good dough going.

Move the dough out onto a clean, well floured surface and knead in more flour until the dough is no longer sticky. Place the dough into a well oiled bowl, and cover with a cloth/small kitchen towel. Let the dough rise until its about double in size (this should take about 1 hour).  Punch down the dough to get all of the air out, and form a tight ball. Allow the dough to relax for a minute before rolling out or tossing like a real pizza man would do (if you try to toss it, don’t drop it stupid).  Move the dough to a pan.  (I made my pizza rectangle shaped because it fit the pan so the shape is up to you).

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F and let the dough rise for 15 or 20 minutes more before topping and baking it.  Evenly spread sauce over the crust and then add your toppings.  Bake until the cheese and crust are golden brown, about 15 to 20 minutes.  Then om nom nom nom.
