My Favorite Pizza Dough Recipe


Anne Jisca's Easy Pizza Dough - recipe originally found at Tammy's Recipes,
modified just a pinch...

1 tablespoon instant yeast
1 cup water
2 tablespoons oil
1 teaspoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups flour (have tried using 1/2 whole wheat...pretty good, but heavier)

Pizza toppings of your choice

Instructions:
1. Dissolve yeast in water and oil. Stir in sugar, salt, and flour.

2. Mix until a ball forms. Allow to rise for 5 minutes. Roll flat and place on a greased pizza/cookie sheet. Sprinkle with desired toppings. Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes or until the crust is golden. (Sometimes I bake for 5-7 minutes first then put sauce and toppings on, as I don't care for a soggy crust and this seems to help based on our toppings/oven).

Of note: 1.5x recipe fits a 11x15 pan well. Works really well for calzones.
Very good! This pizza dough turned out better than any past attempts! Rose well (as noted next to the Dordt College mug:)).
