Pizza Crust

I thought I would post just the crust recipe again for the categories. Now it will be easier to find in the future. :)

Home Made Pizza Crust
* 2 1/2 cups flour (all purpose, whole wheat, or a combination--I did half and half)
* 1 tablespoon yeast
* 1 tablespoon sugar or honey
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 2 tablespoons oil
* 1 cup warm water

1. Mix 2 cups of the flour with the rest of the ingredients until well blended. Add remaining flour until a soft dough forms and cleans the sides of the bowl. Knead for 5 minutes and then let rest for 5 minutes.

2. Roll out the dough and place on a pizza pan sprayed with cooking oil and let rise (Rising is optional depending on how much time you have, you can also make the crust thin or thick. I recommend letting the thicker crust rise at least 15 minutes) while the oven preheats to 500 degrees.

3. Pre-bake the crust for 5 minutes and then lower the temperature to 450 while you put the toppings on the pizza.
