SIMPLE AND STANDARD PIZZA DOUGH
This pizza dough recipe is great for me. I can't bake and yet I've never had a problem with this recipe. The dough comes out tasting sort of like Dominos/Pizza Hut pizza dough without the weird, gross, greasiness. I've used this recipe for pizzas I've taken to work functions and private parties, and it's always a big hit. For a less traditional topping try caramelized onions, thinly sliced apples, bacon and a mild cheese (Yum! My favorite!). The cooking time includes the rising time for the dough. Makes 1 large or 8 individual pizzas.

Steps:
- Stir the yeast into the warm water to dissolve.
- Add the flour.
- Stir the remaining ingredients into the flour mixture.
- Knead with dough hook or by hand until smooth and elastic (approx 5 minutes).
- Place dough in a lightly greased bowl and cover.
- Allow to rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
- Punch down the dough and divide into portions.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into very thin rounds and top as desired.
- Bake at 400°F until crisp and golden brown, approx 8-12 minutes.
- NOTE: Unrolled dough may be wrapped and stored in the fridge for 2 days. Rolled dough may be stored in the freezer; I have kept rolled dough in the freezer for several months with the only effect being a less puffy baked crust.

Steps:
- Using a wooden spoon/mixer with dough hooks, combine all the dough ingredients in a medium mixing bowl, until a soft, slightly sticky dough is formed.
- Add a few tsp of water if your dough seems dry.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly oiled surface, knead it lightly with oiled hands.
- Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover and let rise for 1 hour; it might not necessarily double in bulk (usually I let dough rise in a turned-off oven or microwave).
- Punch down the dough and roll it into a ball.
- Flatten in and roll it to desired thickness and size to fit your pizza pan (if dough resists rolling, let it rest for 10mins before rolling again).
- Let rise for another 30mins; preheat oven to 425°F/ 220°C.
- Prior to baking, poke holes all over the dough with a fork.
- Bake for 10-15mins before topping the pizza; finally, bake for another 5-10mins until topping is hot and cheese has melted.
- NOTE- if you like super crispy crust like I do, preheat a baking sheet at 475°F/ 240°C for for 5-10mins, then slide the pizza pan (with the crust) onto the hot baking sheet; Bake for 15mins, then put your topping and bake for another 15mins (if you have baking stone, use that instead of the baking sheet).
