Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 oz Fresh yeast -- -ÿÿ
2 pk - Instant dry yeast granules
1/2 c Milk -- at room temperature
3/4 c Warm water (125F)
1/2 ts Salt
3 c Unbleached white flour

IN A LARGE BOWL, dissolve the yeast in a mixture of
the milk and water. Mix in the flour and salt to make
a soft dough. Knead 10 minutes by hand, or 4 minutes
in a heavy-duty mixer with a dough hook. Oil a clean
bowl and set the dough in it, cover tightly with
plastic wrap, and let rise until doubled in bulk. (In
the traditional warm place, this will take about 2
hours. However, a cooler temperature will do as long
as the dough has enough time to rise, including
overnight in the refrigerator.) If the dough is ready
sooner than it is needed, punch it down and
refrigerate it or let it rise slowly again at room
temperature until ready to use. When ready to use,
divide into 4 equal parts. Roll 1 into an 8-inch
round. Top with favorite toppings and bake 10 minutes
in 450F oven. Makes 4 Pizzas
