Pizza Dough

Dissolve 2 T dry yeast in 3 C. warm water. After it bubbles, add 1/4 cup sugar or honey and 1 T. salt. Mix thoroughly. Add 4 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Add 2 more cups flour. If needed, add up to 2 more cups flour. Knead about 5-10 minutes by machine, adding flour to make dough not sticky.

Cut into 4 pieces. I thick crust pizza is desired, roll out dough onto pizza pan and let rise for 10 minutes. Otherwise, just pat or roll into pizza pan. Spread with sauce, sprinkle with Italian seasoning. Add toppings as desired. Bake 500 until done, about 20 minutes (mine burned on top at 500 so I would probably do it lower next time). Makes several pizzas. Recipe may be halved.

May use dough to make garlic bread. Place 1/4-1/2 of the original batch of dough in a greased bowl, let rise in warm place for 40 minutes. Punch down. Shape into load, let rise 1 hour on greased baking pan. Baking 375-400, 15-20 minutes. Slice, butter, sprinkle with garlic sale, wrap in foil, bake 20 minutes or pop in freezer.
