Pizza Dough

3 C all-purpose flour
1 pkg active dry yeast
1 C warm water
2 Tbsp olive oil

1. In a lg. mixing bowl combine 1 1/4 cups of the flour, the yeast, and 1/4 tsp. salt;
add warm water and oil. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds,
scraping bowl. Beat on high speed 3 minutes. Using a wooden spoon, stir in as much
of the remaining flour as you can.
2. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead in enough remaining flour to make
a moderately stiff dough that is smooth and elastic. Divide dough in half. Cover and let
rise for 10 minutes.
* You can use 1 cup of whole wheat flour in the dough for a little more nutrition. Just make
sure to eliminate 1 C of the white flour. I like to bake the crust for 1 minute on 450*
before adding the toppings.
