Beth's Pizza Crust

Description: This is an excellent crust that requires no time to rise. Why order out when you can just throw this pizza together?

Ingredients:

• 1 (1/4 ounce) package yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
• 1 cup water
• 2 1/2 cups flour
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

1. Combine yeast and warm water.
2. Stir until dissolved.
3. Add remaining ingredients and mix well.
4. Let rest 5 minutes.
5. Roll out to size and shape you need.
6. (I have used this same size recipe in jelly roll pans and on round baking stones.) Bake at 450* for 15 minutes or until golden.
7. A couple tips: Sometimes I omit the sugar.
8. Instead, I add several good shakes of Italian seasoning mix (just dried herbs).
9. Use your imagination, this is hard to mess up.
