Ingredients
-
2 1/4 teaspoons yeast
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 1/2 cups warm water
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 1/2 - 4 1/2 cups flour
Preparation
-
Dissolve yeast, brown sugar in warm water; allow to sit for 10 minutes.
Stir in salt and olive oil.
Mix in 3 cups of flour or enough to form a soft dough. Turn dough out onto a well floured surface and knead in more flour until dough is barely sticky to the touch.
Place dough into a oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap.
Let dough rise until doubled, punch down and form into a tight ball. Allow dough to relax for 5 minutes prior to stretching and rolling into desired shapes.
Brush lightly with olive oil, pierce with a fork all over dough and par bake crust at 425 for 5 minutes.
Add desired toppings and bake for approximately 10 minutes or until desired level of doness is reached.
Allow to cool for 4-5 minutes prior to cutting to allow cheese to set.
