Pizza Crust

Ok, so I didn't think about taking pics as I was making this crust! I was on the phone and in a hurry to get it going, I needed to let it rise for an hour, and yeah, the phone call got me distracted. But let me tell you, this pizza crust was SUPER delish! I like it WAY better the other one I had posted before on here...




Yummy!! :)






This is the veggie one! :oP

It really is easy to make! You just need to make sure to let it sit an hour before you need it! I don't always remember that... ;)


Yummy Pizza Crust

2 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1/2 teaspoon brown sugar
1 1/2 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
1 teaspoon salt (I used garlic salt instead)
2 tablespoons olive oil (I use coconut oil)
3 1/3 cups all-purpose flour (I used WAY more, almost 4 cups)

In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast and brown sugar in the water, and let sit for 10 minutes.
Stir the salt and oil into the yeast solution. Mix in 2 1/2 cups of the flour.
Turn dough out onto a clean, well floured surface, and knead in more flour until the dough is no longer sticky. Place the dough into a well oiled bowl, and cover with a cloth. Let the dough rise until double; this should take about 1 hour. Punch down the dough, and form a tight ball. Allow the dough to relax for a minute before rolling out.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. If you are baking the dough on a pizza stone, you may place your toppings on the dough, and bake immediately. If you are baking your pizza in a pan, lightly oil the pan, and let the dough rise for 15 or 20 minutes before topping and baking it.
Bake pizza in preheated oven, until the cheese and crust are golden brown, about 15 to 20 minutes.

*Like I said in the ingredients part, I added garlic salt instead of the salt.
I also use coconut oil for EVERYTHING now! But if you don't have or don't use it, then use olive oil.
I also was in a hurry, so I used my good ole Kitchen Aide mixer with the bread hook to mix it all up. It's way better if you do it by hand, but sometimes I gotta cheat, and I did this time! :)
You can also take pieces of sting cheese and wrap it around the crust and have a cheese stuffed crust! :)
If you want, you can also mix up some butter and garlic salt, and then spread it on the crust.
For one of them I put olives, pepperoni, and mushrooms.
For the other one I put, sweet banana peppers, (oh my, boy do those add a VERY delish extra zing and taste! If you prefer a bit of added "hot", try using the hot banana peppers!), olives, red onion, and mushrooms.
I love making pizza, you can add whatever you have on hand! :)

ENJOY!!!!!!!!!! :D
