4) What are your pizza toppings of choice?

PizzaDough

2 packages=2 Tablespoons active dry yeast
pinch of sugar
1 1/4cup warm water
3 1/2cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 c. olive oil

1 lb mozzarella grated/shredded
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
my choice topping are sundried tomatoes add yours
Preheat oven to 450-500 degrees.

Sprinkle the 2 tablespoons of yeast and a pinch of sugar into a 1/4 cup of warm water (110-115 degrees). Let this cup stand for 5 to 8 minutes in a warm place, as sugar and yeast dissolve. The yeast will bubble up and you want the mixture to froth almost double in volume. If the yeast does not bubble, start over with fresh yeast.

While the yeast bubbles, in a large mixing bowl, measure the flour and salt.

Make a well in the center of the flour and pour inot it the yeast mixture and adding 1 cup of warm water and 1/4 cup of olive oil.

Mix the dough.

When you can gather the dough in a rough ball, place onto a floured board and knead for 5 minutes, or until smooth, shiny and elastic.

Dust the dough lightly with flour, place it in the mixing bowl that has been cleaned out and cover.

Set in a warm draft free spot for about 20-30 minutes. This is when I grate cheese or chop toppings.

Punch down dough and you have the choice to make one big thick pizza

When I make a large pizza I drizzle olive oil ~1 to 2tablespoons on a pizza pan and then pulling and stretching I flatten out the pizza dough to the shape of the pan with my fingers...

Flute edges, spoon on a cup of sauce or more, and add my cheese then the toppings.

another option: you can choose to put the dough on a floured board sprinkle the ball with flour and use a rolling pin. I usually only do this when I make little pizzas. I divide the large ball into quarters and using the floured rolling pin I roll until the dough is 7" in diameter. Next rolling in a circle with the floured rolling pin, the diameter expands to 10" and is about 1/8" thick. To make 4 10" pizzas.

Dust a large baking sheet with cornmeal and place the little pizzas on it.
Flute edges.

If you prefer an extra crispy crust, put the dough in the oven for ~12 minutes before you spoon on the sauce.

After edges are fluted, spoon on a 1/2 cup of sauce, add cheese then the toppings.

*Dough recipe also makes excellent bread sticks.
*Shape dough and bake about 10 minutes, serving with melted garlic butter or more sauce.
