Quick and Easy Pizza Crust

 From Chef Rider via AllRecipes


Note: This dough can be made in advance and stored in the fridge overnight. It will be easier to work with and have better flavor when it has been refrigerated.


Ingredients:

1 .25oz package of yeast (or about 2 1/4 tsp)

1 tsp white sugar

1 cup warm water (around 110 degrees F)

2 1/2 cups bread flour

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp salt


Directions:

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. In a medium bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in the warm water. Set aside until it has bloomed and it looks creamy, about 10 minutes. Stir in the flour, salt, and oil. Beat until smooth. Let rest for 5 minutes. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat/roll into a large round. Transfer crust to a lightly greased pizza pan or sheet tray. If using a pizza stone and pizza pel, simply place on the pizza peel after dusting with cornmeal. Spread with desired toppings and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
