Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 1/4 c Flour
1 1/2 c Water, lukewarm (105 to 115
Degrees Fahrenheit)
1 pk Active dry yeast
1 t Salt
1 t Sugar
2 tb Olive oil

Put flour into a large bowl and make a deep well in
the middle. Pour warm water into the well, mix in the
yeast, using a bit of flour in the mix. Add the sugar,
salt, and flour to the well, let stand for 10 minutes
until mixture bubbles. Slowly stir all of the flour
into the yeast mixture. When it gets too thick to
handle place it on a board and knead it until elastic.
Form a ball, place into a greased bowl, then turn it
over so the top of the ball is greased. Cover with a
towel and let rise in a warm and draft free place for
an hour or until double in bulk. Preheat oven to 450
degrees. Punch down dough and divide in half.
Refrigerate one half for later. (Allow extra time to
rise). Roll the other half into a circle about 15
inches across. Place on a 14 inch greased pizza pan,
roll edges to form a rim.

Spread half the sauce on the pizza pie (see recipe),
top with shredded mozzarella, and other favorite
toppings (mushrooms, olives, pepperoni, etc). Bake for
20 to 25 minutes until edges are brown and cheese is
bubbly. Cut each pie into 6 wedges.
