Basic Pizza Dough Recipe
Ingredients:
2 packgs. dry yeast
1 1/2 cup lukewarm water
4 cups flour
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. sugar
1 tbsp. olive oil
Directions:
In a container slowly mix the lukewarm water and the yeast by stirring for 5 mins. In another bowl combine together salt, sugar and flour. In the bowl’s center make a small well. Check to see if the yeast and water mixture is already bubbling. When it is already bubbling, pour all the water and yeast mix into your well. Then start to incorporate all the ingredients together in the center and make sure that they all mix.
If your dough mixture is a bit dry, be sure to add some water and if it is kind of sticky, then add some more of the flour to it. Knead it well until the dough appears smooth & stretchy. Form it into a ball and cover with a damp/wet cloth. Rest your dough in a warm location for 20 mins.
Also beat the dough with the palm of your hand to release the gas that has formed while the dough ferments. Form the dough into a ball again and put in an oiled bowl. Coat the dough with the oil. Cover it with some plastic wrap and then put in your refrigerator to store.
When you already want to make some pizza just get your dough out into a lightly floured flat surface. Make the dough flat using your own hands and work from the center towards the outer portion ( You can also use a rolling pin to roll the dough out).
Get your well oiled cookie sheet or you can use a pizza pan and push your dough into the sheet and form a circle that is about 12 inches in diameter and make sure that the edge is much more thick than the middle portion of the pizza. You can now add any topping you desire. In a 475-500′ F oven, bake the pizza until it is golden or cooked.

Pizza Dough Recipe #3
Ingredients:
1 1/2 tsp. bread machine yeast
3 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup milk
2 tbsps. olive oil
1/2 cup lukewarm water
1 1/2 tsp. salt
Pinch of sugar
Directions:
Combine all of the ingredients together inside your food processor except for the lukewarm water. Pulse the mixture to incorporate all of the ingredients well together. Turn the machine on while slowly drizzling water to the mixture until a soft ball of dough is formed. Just let your dough ball be processed inside the food processor so that it is kneaded. Get your dough out of the food processor and on a lightly floured board or surface.
Start to knead it for a couple of minutes or just till it gets elastic. In a well oiled bowl, place the dough mixture and leave it to rest just until the dough has doubled in its size. After it has doubled in size, take it out of the bowl. Punch it down to release the air. Divide into two equal portions. Roll them out to make four medium sized pizza crusts that will be sufficient for 4 persons.
Preheat your oven to 400′ F for about 30 mins. if you are going to be using a pizza stone. When just using the regular oven then preheating should only be 10 to 15 minutes in 400′ F. On the back of your baking sheet sprinkled with cornmeal, you can place your crust and then cook inside the oven for about 8 mins.
After 8 mins. take it out of the oven and top with your desired toppings. Put it back in the oven for another 8 minutes or just until the crusts appear golden or the cheese is bubbling.
