Pizza Crust to Try

Homemade Pizza Dough 
1 c. warm water
1 pkg. yeast (or 2 1/4 tsp.)
1 tsp. honey (you can use sugar instead, but I like to use honey)

1 tsp. salt
2 Tbsp. olive oil (or any kind)
2 1/2 c. flour (I use 1 1/2 c. whole wheat & 1 c. all purpose)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Mix together the first 3 ingredients in a large bowl.  Allow the yeast to proof (this step can be skipped if you don't have time).

Next, add the remaining ingredients and mix together.  Knead the dough 5-10 times (I do it right in the bowl).

Let the dough rise for about 30 minutes (again, if you have the time).

Grease a pizza pan or a cookie sheet.  Press the dough into the pan.

If making into pizza, spread pizza sauce on the dough.  Add toppings and bake at 400 degrees for 10-15 minutes.

If making into breadsticks or quick bread, apply desired toppings* and bake for 8-10 minutes.

* I like to spread with olive oil or butter and sprinkle with garlic salt and parmesan cheese.

Enjoy!!
