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

1. Mix water yeast and sugar in a bowl and let stand for 1 to 2 minutes.

2. Add remaining ingredients and knead the dough for 5 to10 minutes until elastic.

3. Roll or toss dough into a 12" circle.

4. 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.

5. Bake the crust by itself (no toppings) for about 10 minutes.

6. Top and finish baking
