Pizza dough


Ingredients:
1 3/4 cups warm water
1 envelope active dry yeast (2 1/4 tsp)
2 tsp sugar
3 Tbsp olive oil
4-5 cups flour (half wheat, half white)
2 tsp salt
cornmeal

Directions:
1. In a liquid measuring cup, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar.  Allow the yeast to dissolve and bloom, about 5 minutes.  Add the olive oil.
2. In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt.  Add liquid mixture and mix well.  Knead dough on a floured surface.  Form the dough into a round ball and place it in a large bowl sprayed with nonstick spray.  Cover with a clean towel and let the dough rise until it doubles in size, about 90 minutes.
3.  Top with desired toppings (thai chicken, bbq chicken, veggie, sausage & pepper, pear gorgonzola & arugula, etc.) and cook on a heated pizza stone.

Notes: This makes dough for two pizzas.  Thai chicken pizza is a great use of leftover peanut sauce.
