Peg's Pizza Dough

Recipe By : Peg Smith/Adapted by Leilani Young
Serving Size : 10 Preparation Time :0:00

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 pkg dry yeast
1 tbsp oil
1 c boiling water
3 c flour
1 tsp salt

Dissolve yeast in 2 tbsp lukewarm water. Place oil in bowl with boiling
water. Let both mixtures cool some. Then add dissolved yeast to
oil/water mixture. Add flour and salt. Mix, knead, and divide into 2 or
3 parts, depending on how thin or thick you desire your crust. Roll
balls out to pizza pan size and place on pan that has been sprinkled
with cornmeal. This will allow the pizza to be slid off onto oven rack
to brown bottom. Lightly grease top of dough with olive oil. Place a
scant ladle of pizza sauce or tomato sauce on pizza (too much sauce
causes toppings to slide off pizza). Spread it all over top of pizza.
Add desired ingredients to your pizza and bake in 400 degree oven for
about 20 minutes. Then slide off of pan onto oven racks to brown bottom,
if desired. Continue baking about 3 to 5 more minutes.

NOTES : This dough freezes exceptionally well. Wrap each completely. (I
use plastic grocery bags.)

For Sloppy Joe Pizza: ground chuck, frozen corn (defrosted), barbecue
sauce (instead of tomato or pizza sauce), sliced green onions, and
shredded Jack cheese.
