Thin Pizza Crust - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 1/4 teaspoons yeast
1/4 teaspoon sugar
3/4 cup hot water
1 3/4 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 (14 ounce) jar pizza sauce
your choice of pizza toppings
pepperoni
precooked bacon
tomatoes, sliced
green pepper
mozzarella cheese, shredded
chopped garlic

Preparation

Dissolve yeast and sugar in hot water.
Let sit for 8 minutes.
Meanwhile mix flour and salt.
Pour yeast mixture over flour mixture and mix well with a heavy spoon.
Turn onto floured surface and knead for 2 minutes.
Spread into a 12-14\" circle.
(I do this directly onto a pizza stone with a marble rolling pin).
If you roll it out on a counter top, transfer to a greased pizza pan, stretching to edges.
Cover with sauce and desired topping.
Bake at 500 degrees for 8-12 minutes or until edges are golden.
