Caving in to Peer Pressure

Everyone else in the class seems to be posting recipes. So what the heck? Here's my family's recipe for homemade pizza.


1 C Warm Water
1 1/2 tsp Yeast
6 tbsp Vegetable Oil
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
2 1/2 C flour
1 Package Mozzerella Cheese
1 bottle Pizza sauce
Additional pizza toppings as desired.


1. Preheat the oven to 425° F.
2. Dissolve yeast in warm water.
3. Stir in remaing ingredients
4. Let dough rise for 10 minutes
5. Roll out dough onto pizza pan. Use parchment paper or a non-stick spray to keep dough from sticking to pan
6. Bake crust for 8 minutes at 425°

After the crust is done baking, remove it from the oven and TURN THE TEMPRATURE DOWN TO 350°!! I've ruined several pizzas by forgetting to do this. You can now apply sauce, cheese, and other toppings as desired. Bake for 16-21 minutes at 350° or until cheese is melted at a desirable level. I like to go for a nice golden brown, my brother likes it less well done. Do what you feel. Enjoy!
