Fabulous Pizza Crust

By srumbel

I have been on a little adventure. Just me, myself and I. Just trying a bunch of pizza crust recipes. Trying to find one that is wonderful.
Crispy on the outside with a fluffy, chewy goodness on the inside.
I have been trying these recipes out on my family for a good number of years now, my friends. (these things can take a bit of time) This recipe I am about to imparto you.. this very day…is the very best. My family gives it seven thumbs up.

Ingredients

• 1 t yeast
• 1 1/2 C warm water
• 4 C flour
• 1 t salt
• 1/3 C olive oil

Preparation

Step 1

1. Sprinkle yeast over the top of your warm water.
2. Combine the flour and salt in the bottom of your mixer.
3. Pour the olive oil in and mix just just until combined.
4. Pour the yeast and water mixture into the flour.
5. Mix just until combined.
6. Cover and set aside. Let it rise until double in size. OR....and the beauty is.....you can put it in the fridge and let it rise throughout the day. Love that.
7. Punch the dough down and divide it in half. Let each piece rest on a pizza stone or sprayed cookie sheet for 5 minutes. Then stretch it out as thin or thick as you like.

Yield: 2 -12 inch pizza crusts
