Pizza Dough Recipe

Ingredients

1 pkg dry yeast
2/3 C. warm water (105* to 115*)
2 C. flour, divided
1 T. cornmeal
1 T. olive oil
1/2 t. salt
Pam

Preparation

Step 1

Dissolve yeast in water in large bowl, let stand 5 mins. Stir in 1 3/4 C. flour, cornmeal, oil and salt to form a soft dough.

Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic (about 5 mins.); add enough of the remaining flour, 1 T. at a time, to prevent dough from sticking to hands.

Place dough in large bowl coated with Pam, turning dough to coat top. Cover dough, and let rise in a warm place (85*) free from drafts, 40 mins or until doubled in bulk.

Punch dough down, and roll into a 15" circle on lightly floured surface. Place dough on a 15" pizza pan or baking sheet coated with Pam. Top and bake according to recipe directions.

Note: to make 6 individual pizzas, roll dough into 5" rounds.
