QUICK AND EASY PIZZA CRUST
This is a great recipe when you don't want to wait for the dough to rise. You just mix it and allow it to rest for 5 minutes and then it's ready to go!! It yields a soft, chewy crust. For a real treat, I recommend you use bread flour and bake it on a pizza stone, but all-purpose flour works well too. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Combine the bread flour, sugar, yeast and kosher salt in the bowl of a stand mixer and combine. While the mixer is running, add the water and 2 tablespoons of the oil and beat until the dough forms into a ball. If the dough is sticky, add additional flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together in a solid ball. If the dough is too dry, add additional water, 1 tablespoon at a time. Scrape the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead into a smooth, firm ball.
- Grease a large bowl with the remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil, add the dough, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and put it in a warm area to let it double in size, about 1 hour. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide it into 2 equal pieces. Cover each with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let them rest for 10 minutes.

This easy pizza dough recipe is the key to making an extraordinary homemade pizza. We use all-purpose flour because double zero is hard to find.

You won't be disappointed with the results! -Josh Rink, Taste of Home Food Stylist

Steps:
- MEASURE all ingredients except cornmeal into bread pan in order listed; Select dough setting.
- REMOVE dough to lightly floured surface and cover with plastic wrap; Let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
- SPRINKLE cornmeal on large 16 inch pizza pan or on a pizza stone and press dough into pizza shape; Cover with a towel and let rise for another 30 minutes.
- SPREAD with desired sauce, seasonings and toppings.
- BAKE at 425F for 20-30 minutes; I like to partially bake the pizza on a pan for about 8 minutes and then transfer it to a hot pizza stone sprinkled with the cornmeal for the remainder of the cooking time.
- I find by baking it initially on the pan it is easier to transfer to a pizza stone thus maintaining its large size.

Steps:
- Put first three ingredients in a bowl.
- My big stainless steel bowl works the best, because it conducts the heat from the water but doesn't cool down the yeast.
- Let stand for 10 minutes.
- Mix the rest of the ingredients in with the foamy yeast mixture.
- I use Indian Roti flour for crispy crusts, perfect every time, but whole wheat or white flour works too.
- Cover the bowl and stand somewhere warm for an hour to rise.
- Divide dough in half and roll flat.
- I usually add a small handfull of flour when I do this or the dough tends to be sticky.
- Spray your pizza pans with Pam and toss on the dough.
- Spread half a can of pizza sauce on each crust, then add your toppings.
- My pizza's are famous for the toppings listed above (don't forget to put your tomatoes in boiling water for about five minutes before you add to pizza).
- Bake both pizza's at 350 F for about half an hour.
- Enjoy!

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly impact the taste of your pizza crust. Use fresh, high-quality flour, water, yeast, and salt. You can also add other ingredients, such as olive oil or herbs, to enhance the flavor of your crust.
- Knead the dough properly: Kneading the dough is essential for developing the gluten in the flour, which will make the crust strong and chewy. Knead the dough for at least 10 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
- Let the dough rise: After you have kneaded the dough, let it rise in a warm place for at least 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size. This will allow the yeast to ferment the dough and produce carbon dioxide, which will make the crust light and airy.
- Preheat your oven: Before you bake the pizza, preheat your oven to the highest temperature possible. This will help to create a crispy crust.
- Use a pizza stone or baking sheet: A pizza stone or baking sheet will help to conduct heat evenly and prevent the crust from sticking to the pan.
- Bake the pizza until the crust is golden brown: The baking time will vary depending on the thickness of your crust and the temperature of your oven. Bake the pizza until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Conclusion:
Making homemade pizza crust is a fun and rewarding experience. By following these tips, you can create a delicious, crispy, and flavorful crust that will impress your friends and family. So next time you're in the mood for pizza, give this recipe a try!
