Pizza Dough:
INGREDIENTS:
1 pkg. active dry yeast
1 cup warm water
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp olive oil
2 1/2-3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Cornmeal
DIRECTIONS:
Sprinkle yeast over warm water in warmed bowl- let stand 5 minutes. Add salt, olive oil and 2 1/2 cups flour. Attach bowl and dough hook. Turn to speed 2 and mix for 2 minutes. Add remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until dough clings to hook and cleans sides of bowl. Knead on speed 2 for 5 minutes.
Place in greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover; let rise in warm place, free from draft, until doubled in bulk- about 1 hour. Punch dough down. Brush 14 inch diameter pizza pan with oil and sprinkle with cornmeal. Press dough across bottom of pan, forming a collar around edge to hold filling. Top with toppings. Bake at 450 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
Topping Ideas:
Canadian Bacon/Pineapple
Veggies- Onions, Peppers, Tomatoes, Mushrooms, Banana Peppers
Meats- Chicken, Sausage, Pepperoni, Hamburger, Bacon
Really, anything! :) I use a canned sauce- anything from Ragu to a speciality sauce would be good! I also use mozzarella cheese- but different cheese would be good with different toppings. This recipe is especially fun for little ones to help make their own pizza.
