1 pkg. active dry yeast
1 1/4 c. warm water (105-115 degrees)
3 1/2-34 c. sifted all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt
Pizza filling of your choice

Sprinkle yeast on warm water; stir to dissolve. Add 2 cups flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Beat thoroughly. Stir in remaining flour.

Turn onto lightly floured board and knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Place in lightly greased bowl. Turn dough over to grease top. Cover and let rise in warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes.

Turn onto board and knead just long enough to force out large bubbles. Divide in half. Roll each half to make an 11 inch circle. Stretch each circle to fit an oiled 12 inch pizza pan. Add filling of your choice. Bake at 450 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Makes 2 pizza crusts.
