Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 1/2 cups warm (105-115* F water)
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 package active dry yeast
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt

Instruction

  • In a large bowl combine the water and sugar, sprinkle in the yeast and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the oil, flour, and salt until the dough starts to gather around the spoon. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface; kneed until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.
  • Spray a large bowl with nonstick spray; put the dough in the bowl. Cover bowl lightly with plastic wrap and let dough rise in a warm spot until it doubles in size, about an hour.
  • Punch down the dough, then cut in half. You can refrigerate the other half of dough or freeze it in a floured zip-close bag.
  • Roll out your dough into a 12 inch circle.
  • Next, put on a little sauce…enough to cover the dough (I used 1 cup of marinara sauce).
  • Pile on approximately 1 cup part skim Mozzarella Cheese, and load it with yummy toppings.
  • I used: turkey pepperoni, sliced black olives, roasted red peppers, baby spinach leaves, and then I topped it off with a small shower of shredded Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake at 500 degrees F for 12-15 minutes (till crust is golden brown and cheese is melted) on the bottom rack in your oven.
