Pizza Crust

This recipe came straight from the pizza capitol of the world... Italy! Our friends, Mark and Brenda Kropf, both served mission there (in fact, that's where they met!)

1 T yeast
1 T sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 C warm water
1 or 2 T oil
2 1/4 - 2 1/2 C flour
Cornmeal

Dissolve yeast, sugar, and salt in warm water.  Add oil and flour.  Mix and knead.  Let rest for 1/2 hour.  Roll out and place in a greased pizza pan, sprinkled with cornmeal.  Let rise another 1/2 hour.  Top with your favorite pizza toppings and bake at 400 for 15-25 minutes.

Makes one thick crust for a regular pizza pan.  If using a large cookie sheet, 1 1/2 times this recipe.  We like to make personal pan pizzas, giving each person their own cake pan to make their own pizza.  Doubling this recipe makes enough for about 8-10 personal pan pizzas.
