Pizza - make them even better than the pros!

Easy Pizza Crust - makes a jelly roll (10 x 15) pan

4 1/4 c flour
2 T active dry yeast or 2 packets active dry yeast
1 t salt
1/4 c cooking oil
2 c very warm water

Combine 2 c flour, yeast, salt, oil and warm water in a large bowl.  Mix together with electric mixer.  Stir in remaining flour.  Knead on a floured surface for 2 minutes.  You may add more flour - dough should be very soft but not sticky.  Let rest 10 minutes.  Roll out and place in a sprayed pan.  Let rise 1/2 hour.  Bake at 375 for about 20 minutes.  Cover with toppings and bake for another 10 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Stuffed Crust Pizza

Just cut string cheese in half lengthwise and put along edge of crust and fold crust over and tuck it under the cheese.  Then make as usual.

I love to "steal" ideas from real pizza places and make them at home!
