Homemade Pizza



Want a fun weekend meal? How about homemade pizza, you can completely customize it and have fun making it too. By freezing the dough it becomes easier to make any night of the week.

Ingredients:
2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
1 1/2 cups water 100-110°F 
3-4 cups flour
1 tsp sugar
2 Tbsp olive oil
pinch of salt
desired toppings

Activate yeast in water while mixing dry ingredients together. Add olive oil and yeast-water mixture. Mix until well incorporated and not sticky. Add flour as needed to reduce sticky texture of dough. Allow to rise in a warmed oven for an hour and a half. Separate into 3 evenly sized dough balls. Allow to rise, slightly separated, for 15 minutes. Roll each out to  1/4-1/2 inch think on a floured surface. Place on a baking sheet or pizza stone with corn meal. Add desired toppings and bake at 500 for 8-15 minutes until the crust has browned.

Notes:
Extra dough can be frozen but will need to thaw and rise again before baking. It's best to  freeze the dough before the second rising then continue from there.
