Make your own Pizza Crust

We've done our own homemade pizza for a long time now, but only recently started making our own crust. Sean found a recipe that truly is fast and easy. No kneading, no waiting.

The original recipe comes from allrecipes.com, but I'll repost it here in my own words.

Kale, white beans and caramelized onions

Quick and Easy Pizza Crust


1 (.25oz) package active dry yeast
1 tsp sugar
1 cup hot water (110 degrees)
2 1/2 cups bread flour*
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp olive oil
optional spices: garlic, basil, onion powder

* we use 1 cup whole wheat flour and 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Preheat oven to 450.

In a medium bowl, combine yeast, sugar and hot water. Let sit for 10 minutes.

Add flour, salt, olive oil and spices. Mix together and let sit for 5 minutes.

Ball up the dough and put it on a lightly floured surface to roll it out. Transfer to a greased baking sheet (if using a pizza stone, spread out some cornmeal and roll out dough directly on stone).

Add your sauce, toppings and cheese, and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Let sit 5 minutes before serving.
