Jay's Signature Pizza Crust

Ingredients

2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast

½ teaspoon brown sugar

1 ½ cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)

1 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour

Four Cheese Margherita Pizza

Pizza

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl dissolve the yeast and brown sugar in the water and let sit for 10 minutes.

Step 2

Stir the salt and oil into the yeast solution. Mix in 2 1/2 cups of the flour.

Step 3

Turn dough out onto a clean well floured surface and knead in more flour until the dough is no longer sticky. Place the dough into a well oiled bowl and cover with a cloth. Let the dough rise until double; this should take about 1 hour. Punch down the dough and form a tight ball. Allow the dough to relax for a minute before rolling out. Use for your favorite pizza recipe.

Step 4

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). If you are baking the dough on a pizza stone you may place your toppings on the dough and bake immediately. If you are baking your pizza in a pan lightly oil the pan and let the dough rise for 15 or 20 minutes before topping and baking it.

Step 5

Bake pizza in preheated oven until the cheese and crust are golden brown about 15 to 20 minutes.
