I love this dough. It is a pleasure to work with, spreads out beautifully onto the pan, and has such a beautiful sheen and texture to it. So simple for an easy pizza supper on an overcast March afternoon.
Pizza Dough
1 packet of Active Dry yeast (or 2 1/4 tsp. yeast)
1 1/3 C. very warm water
4 C. flour
1/4 C. sugar
1 tsp. salt
Sprinkle the yeast over the water in a small bowl. Combine flour, sugar and salt and then pour dissolved yeast into this mix. Mix well with wooden spoon and then knead for 5 minutes on counter. Put in a large bowl, cover with a damp towel and place in a warm area for 45 minutes. Cut dough in half and press out onto two oiled sheets. Add sauce, cheese and toppings; bake at 400 for 20-25 minutes.

Thanks. I am tired of the frozen ones that don't spread well and was thinking that I needed to make fresh the next time. What size pans do you use? T
I use two jelly roll pans (the large cookie sheet types with a lip that Uncle T. got at Dairy Queen). The dough covers about 3/4 of each pan.
