Ingredients

1 cup water; warm
1 pkg yeast
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp oil
2 1/2 cup flour

Directions

1. Mix water yeast and sugar in a bowl and let stand for 1-2 min.
2. Add remaining ingredients and knead the dough for 5-10 min. until elastic. When making the pizza, I found that a pizza stone works best for maintaining a crispy bottom crust. If you don't have a pizza stone try greasing your pan and then dusting it with corn meal. Bake the crust by itself (no toppings) for about 10 min.
3. Top and finish baking
