Pizza Crust- by Lindy

Okay here goes...

You need:
1 packet yeast (I buy the jar because I use it so much and just measure it out, I believe it is 2 1/4 tsp.)
3 tsp. sugar
1/3 cup warm water (about 120 degrees)

Mix these three ingrediants in a bowl (I use a glass measuring cup)
Put in warm oven for 5 mins. to allow yeast to activate.

Put 3 cups of flour in a bowl. Add the yeast mixture to the flour. Have 1 cup warm water on hand. Mix flour and yeast together. As you mix add warm water. You will use most of the cup but maybe not all or maybe alittle more. Once your dough has formed and is not too wet place on floured countertop or rolling mat (I use the countertop).
Now knead the dough approx. 5 mins. Use flour as needed on countertop to keep it from sticking.

Grease a bowl and place rounded dough in bowl. Cover with a towel and place in warm oven to rise for 15 mins. (make sure oven is not on, just warm)

Take out of oven (turn oven to 400 degrees), punch (lightly) down dough and roll out on pizza pan (stone). Put sauce, cheese and desired toppings. Cook for 20 mins @ 400 degrees. ENJOY!!!!

NOTE: If you like alot of toppings then I like to put my sauce on crust and cook 10 mins after this add other toppings and cook another 10 mins, this just helps make the bottom crust crispier.
