QUICK AND EASY PIZZA CRUST
This is a great recipe when you don't want to wait for the dough to rise. You just mix it and allow it to rest for 5 minutes and then it's ready to go!! It yields a soft, chewy crust. For a real treat, I recommend you use bread flour and bake it on a pizza stone, but all-purpose flour works well too. Enjoy!

ALL-AMERICAN PIZZA CRUST
This quick rise dough is ready so fast you must prepare your toppings first. I took this off the back of a yeast package. For servings, I figured 2 slices per person for 2 pizzas.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- In a mixer bowl, combine 1 cup flour, yeast and salt; mix well.
- Combine water and oil; heat to 120 - 130 F, add to flour mixture.
- Blend at low speed until moistened; beat 3 minutes at medium speed. By hand, gradually stir in enough remaining flour to make a firm dough. Knead on floured surface 3 - 5 minutes.
- Divide dough into 2 parts. With well-floured or greased fingers, press each half into greased 12 or 14-inch pizza pan. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of your favorite shredded cheese over dough to prevent a soggy crust.
- Spread prepared pizza sauce on each pizza (approximately 3/4 cup of sauce per pizza).
- Add your favorite toppings. Cover with shredded cheese of your choice.
- Bake at 400°F for 25 - 30 minutes (see NOTE below) until edge is crisp and light golden brown and cheeses are melted. Serve immediately.
- Note: It may not take the full time. In my oven, it was about 20 minutes.
ALL-PURPOSE PIZZA DOUGH
Using both all-purpose and bread flours in this recipe is a calculated move to create the perfect pizza texture regardless of toppings. The higher protein content in bread flour allows for stronger gluten development and a nice chew to the cooked crust while the all-purpose ensures a crisp, light edge.

Steps:
- Sprinkle the yeast over the hot water in a small bowl. Let stand until dissolved and slightly foamy, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, whisk the bread flour, all-purpose flour, sugar and salt in a large bowl and make a well in the center. Pour the yeast mixture into the well and add the olive oil. Stir with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, dust the dough with flour and knead, dusting with more flour as needed, until very smooth and elastic but still slightly tacky, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours. Divide the dough into two 1-pound balls. (If making sheet-pan pizza, let the dough rise, covered, on an 11-by-17-inch rimmed baking sheet coated with 3 tablespoons olive oil instead of in a bowl; do not divide into two balls.)
- If not using the dough right away, wrap in plastic and refrigerate for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Bring to room temperature before using.
