Pizza Crust

This is a pizza crust that my son loves to make. It is easy and does not take a lot of time to make. This is a no knead crust and the rising time only takes about 15 to 30 minutes.  It is a soft chewy crust and it tastes so good.

Ingredients

1 c. warm water
1 pkg. yeast
1 to 2 tsp. sugar
2 1/2 c. bread flour or regular flour
1 tsp. salt
2 Tbs. oil

Directions

Heat oven to 400°. Lightly oil or grease a 15 x 10-inch baking sheet.

In a bowl, combine warm water, yeast and sugar. Stir to combine.  Place in a warm location for about 8 to 10 minutes to allow the yeast to bloom.

In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Mix to combine with a whisk.  

Add yeast mixture and oil.  Stir with a wooden spoon until combined and all the flour is incorporated into the dough.  Cover the bowl with a tea towel or plastic wrap and place in a warm location. Let rise for 15 to 30 minutes, or until doubled. 

 Turn the dough out onto your prepared pan.  With buttered or oiled fingers, press or pat the dough out into the pan.  

Spread pizza sauce over the top of the crust. Add your favorite toppings like cheese, pepperoni, jalapeños, peppers, and onions.

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until crust is lightly browned, and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Notes

You can add spices to your crust during the mixing process.  Add some garlic, Italian seasoning, or cheese for a more flavorful crust.
